This was a much better read for me than Book 1. While I still feel that I’m missing some of the context that happened before Book 1, Book 2 continues from where Book 1 left off, returning to familiar characters and conflicts. Book 2 continues to show us the ongoing conflict between the Wakandans and their Black Panther and the rival guerilla leader who is trying to get Wakandans to return to their past roots. Ironically, reading this post-election, it feels like this rival leader […]
Poor Hot Dog
Afterlife with Archie Ah Archie. I have never understood Archie’s refusal to choose between Betty or Veronica when the choice is so obviously Betty. But then again, this love triangle has been selling millions of copies of rather stupid books in grocery stores around the world for over 50 years. These teenage kids get into hijinks and run around Riverdale. In the last couple of years though, it seems like the comics are trying to be more adult and strengthen their story lines. They have […]
Fighting Demons with the Power of Music
The Magia the Ninth series has a thoroughly ridiculous premise, which is why it’s so much fun. It’s also only 2 volumes which makes the end pretty open-ended. I found myself wishing for maybe one or two more volumes to fill in a few of the many gaps. Basically a high school student whose parents were killed by a demon runs into the head demon hunter of the Church of the Masterpiece, Ludwig von Beethoven (cranky, ambitious, powerful, but maybe nice too). Beethoven, along with […]
7 Princes- Really 6- Indiana Jones style
The Seven Princes of the Thousand Year Labyrinth looks like an entertaining fantasy-mystery series. The basic premise is that seven different attractive young men wake or end up in the Castle-of-the Thousand-Year-Labyrinth. They are candidates to be the next emperor, since hereditary monarchy was outlawed centuries ago, and they can’t leave the castle until they decide among themselves who will be the next emperor; everyone else becomes the ruler’s new advisors.. Ewan is the main character and he looks like a naïve country boy, while […]
Canadian Goonies
It’s Goonies cause there’s a weird ghost type thing and a spooky hand and teenagers. But it’s Canadian, because it’s Canadian, and it’s about feelings. This should have really been called Friends with a Boy and a Girl, because that’s actually what happens. This is a short graphic novel about a girl named Maggie who is about to have her first day of high school. Like every other YA (graphic) novel, her dad is the police chief and her mom has run away. She’s got […]
After Watching Logan This Weekend…Perfect Balm for All Those Feelings
If you haven’t watched the movie Logan yet, look away! The character we follow in this All New Wolverine issue is Laura. We get to see her as she steps up to be the new Wolverine, while still being mentored by our Logan (who is now gone). In this first issue, we see that Laura has doubts about who she is and what she is doing. She feels like a monster and just a killing machine. When she gets knocked out, she apparently gets some […]
