Well at least we finally get to see who has captured Jessica and what they are up to. We still don’t know about the great rift that no one is giving any details about. But I still had issues with thinking that somehow Jessica has hit up the dark side or whatever was going on through issues #1 through now. We see that someone is out to get the Avengers and actually any superhero out there. A woman reveals to Jessica that she plans on […]
Teenage Wasteland
So what would you do if you found out your parents were super villains? Alex, Nico, Karolina, Gertrude, Chase and Molly choose to run away and plot to take down their parents any way they can. I started out with 4 stars, but it’s really closer to 3. I enjoyed Runaways, but it is no Saga. On the night that the 6 teens find out their parents are super villains, they also find out that some of them have powers, one is an alien, one […]
I don’t get it part 2
Tales of Woodsman Pete by Lilli Carre
Here’s the Amazon Description: “From one of the bright new faces in the indie comix scene comes a collection of vignettes and stories about a solitary albeit gregarious woodsman with a loose grasp on his own personal history and that of the outside world.

His own tales eventually become entangled with that of the legendary Paul Bunyan, and the two become indirectly intertwined, illuminating the discrepancy between […]
I most definitely don’t get it Part 1
Micrographica and The Ticking by Renee French
So here’s what the first book looks like: And also it looks like this: And sometimes it even looks like this: . Indeed, my friend. This is a book about hamster like creatures arguing on a ball of crap. Sometimes one of them gets a swelling on his nose and it looks like the swelling on the nose you see above. The best part of this graphic story is the guest artist section in the back, because the artist found several of her friends and colleagues, […]
I am trying to figure out the audience here.
Kindred by Octavia Butler
I need to say straight away that I love the novel Kindred, which I read for a Black Women’s Writers class in college. It was an inspired choice to put on the syllabus that also included Song of Solomon, Brothers and Sisters by Bebe Moore Campbell, Dessa Rose by Sherley Anne Williams among others. I think that that novel is a tremendous combination of sci fi, 1970s Black writing, political fire, angst, and a few other things all tied into one great novel. It shares some really important themes […]
Deliciously scary graphic stories.
Add this book to the list of things I would’ve never picked up in a bajillion years if I hadn’t found it on CBR. Add this to one of my favorite books ever. I thought I hated graphic novels. I thought I hated horror. I thought I hated creepy gothic stuff. Apparently not. Who even am I? I don’t know. This book is just gorgeous. The illustrations are stunning and mysterious and creepy and terrifying. It’s like five little illustrated ghost stories. In “Our Neighbor’s […]
