This is a review of a straight-up crossover fanfiction, so beware, all ye who enter here! As you can probably guess from the title, this is a Harry Potter/Avengers crossover. Now, I read a lot of fanfiction, and I go through them fairly quickly. I’m not in the habit of writing reviews on the actual works, let alone 250+ words on Cannonball (I know, bad habit). But this one deserves it! (Also, it’s not smutty!) After the death of Sirius, Harry receives a delayed […]

Teenage, Pakistani American Kamala Khan’s turn as Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl drew us into the Marvel comic books. Previously we were primarily familiar with the Marvel movies. Then Into the Spider-verse came out and we went to find the Miles Morales comics that inspired the animated movie. In our last trip to the library we came across the All-New, All-Different Avengers which features both Ms. Marvel and Mile’s Spider-man. This graphic novel starts with a standalone comic featuring Scarlet Witch and Vision and then issues one […]

I’ve been waiting for the Captain Marvel movie since 2012! I read the first few volumes for a MOOC called “Gender Issues in Comics” which was presented on Canva by Christy Blanch. It was a wonderful course which jumpstarted my interest in superhero comics (particularly female superhero comics). And I completely got why Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers changed the game for female comics readers. So in anticipation of the new movie, I avoided all casting reveals and spoilers and revisited the first 3.5 volumes of the […]

I’ve Got Ramen Noodles Coming Out My Nose: Jessica Jones on the Page

My husband picked up the first volume of Jessica Jones because we had watched the Netflix show and enjoyed it greatly (aside from me having Kilgrave nightmares, but I guess that just means I was invested, right?). If you’re moving from show to comics, there are substantial differences between this first book and the world of the show—without spoiling anything, her relationship with Luke Cage is different, Malcolm is very different, Carol Danvers is Trish (to some extent), Kilgrave is nowhere to be found (for […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
