I’m Gonna Need Some New People to Invite to Dinner.

August 5, 2016 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I have a new found love of comic books, and I have loved cooking and eating for a long time. I was so excited when I saw Cook Korean! posted on the Cannonball Read Instagram – a cookbook in comic book form. I have been looking at several Korean cookbooks for a long time, so it seemed like good timing and I bought it. Since arriving, it hasn’t been far from my side. I’ve lovingly stroked it’s pages and imagined a bunch of dinner parties. […]

Squirrel Agility Ability

August 5, 2016 by Emmalita 2 Comments

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is an absolute delight. She’s a little bit like Deadpool, if Deadpool still had his innocence and had never been a mercenary. She’s jaunty, clever, irreverent and some one is breaking the 4th wall, though it’s more the author than Squirrel Girl. Squirrel Girl super heroes in her own unique way. She takes down the baddest of the bad and makes friends along the way. Doreen Green is totally just your average, normal girl on her way to start college. She […]

It doesn’t feel like nothing.

August 2, 2016 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

What would you do if the world were ending? What would you do if you were a 16 year old girl with super powers? At the end of Crushed, Kamala Khan felt like the world was ending because she had been betrayed by her first crush. But now, the world is really ending. What good is it to be a superhero if you can’t keep the world from ending? What do you do when nothing you do will change the outcome? Ms. Marvel finally gets […]

Stories Helped Make Me Who I Am

July 27, 2016 by Emmalita 3 Comments

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 I love Faith. LOOK AT HER!!!!! She is a legitimately fat woman. She looks like a real fat woman and not just an extra curvy woman. She flies and fights crime. As a fat woman myself, I love this. I know a lot of fat women who have the athleticism and grace to fly, if only gravity would let them. And do you know how often her weight is alluded to? Never. No one tells her she can’t superhero […]

Sneak Preview of The Flash Season 3

July 26, 2016 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

I’m a big fan of CW’s The Flash. If I’m being honest it’s the TV show I most look forward to watching week-to-week, and the show whose return I’m most eagerly anticipating. The end of last season ended with a game changing moment that seemed poised to shake up the show’s entire universe. I had learned enough about the world of Flash comics to know that they were probably going to incorporate the events of Flashpoint into season 3, so I decided I should read […]

The Man Without a Story

July 26, 2016 by jeverett15 1 Comment

I keep trying with comic books and I think I may stop soon. (Although I have another review of one coming right up.) Something about the medium doesn’t work for me. I wanted to try a Daredevil comic because I really enjoyed the Netflix series. After looking into it, the Frank Miller run seemed like a good place to start. The problem with this volume is that it is only a start. Across the issues collected here, the only thing that really happens is the […]
