Still No Idea What Is Going On

February 3, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I gave this 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars here.  I think I may just wait after I finish the third comic for a full volume to be put together. There are still too many unanswered questions for me to be able to even figure out why there is a schism between Jessica Jones, the Avengers, and Luke Cage. This comic focuses more on Jessica and Luke though which I appreciated. We get some flashbacks to Jessica giving birth, […]

Lacks Heart of Lunar Chronicles

February 3, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

I never thought a day would come where I would not be fan-girling over a new Marissa Meyer work. Sadly that day is here. I thought about this a lot last night, and I think the biggest issue I have with this graphic novel, is that the characters we have come to love in the books are so flat in graphic novel form. I just honestly didn’t care what was going to happen throughout and found my mind wandering as I did. And some of […]

Great for Kamala, not so great for Carol.

February 1, 2017 by narfna 4 Comments

I will admit I was prepared to dislike this. I read a couple of reviews that gave the plot away, and it made me angry and nervous (more on this below). I shouldn’t have *really* worried. As she did with that whole Secret Wars mess, G. Willow Wilson manages to write an event tie-in story (in this case, Civil War II) but still keep it readable for people like myself who aren’t planning on reading the rest of it, and to simultaneously keep the story […]

You deserved a Wakanda that cherished you.

January 30, 2017 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Wakanda is in disarray. Someone is inciting Wakandans into violence against their king. Their queen, T’challa’s sister, is in a state between living and dead. Justice results in injustice and strong men and bandits are free to abuse women. Wakanda has lost its connection to it’s heritage. While I was reading this graphic novel, I learned that the woman who accused Emmet Till of whistling at her has admitted she lied. The new president, on his first day, replaced the White House website page on […]

As through a glass darkly …

January 25, 2017 by Lipton 3 Comments

Gotham is a monster. Gotham is the dark. Gotham lives and breathes and eats. It creates the Bat and the Bat creates it. And no one knows for sure if either deserve saving.

Death by Eyeball

January 24, 2017 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Original Sin was a Marvel Comics miniseries. I read the collected 8 issues of the main story. There were also tie in issues, which I did not read. Original Sin hits a weak spot in my recent comic book hobby. I started reading comic books two years ago, mostly because of the MCU movies. Despite that, I’ve mostly stuck to single character series like Ms. Marvel or Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye run. Marvel characters have a long and complicated history that I barely understand. I might […]
