February 2, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

My resolution for Cannonball Read in 2022 is to only write reviews where I feel like I have much to say and then dump the others in a singular post at the end of the month to track how much I’ve read. This’ll spare me from writing 250+ words about books that I can’t even think of a hundred for. So… Hit Parade **** I enjoy these books and while this is the one I maybe enjoyed the least (did EVERY story need cutaway conversations with […]

That Didn’t Really Happen.

Saga Vol. 9 by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples

October 20, 2021 by Ellesfena 4 Comments

CBR Bingo Category: White Whale Series: Saga. I read (and reviewed) Vol. 1 in 2018. What I remembered about this series prior to reading this book: A lot. Marko and Alana are from a planet and a moon which are at war. They fall in love, have Hazel, become fugitives thanks to their forbidden romance, and a million intergalactic adventures and eccentric characters follow. Why I stopped reading the series: Over the past few years I read Vols. 1-8 fairly quickly, but I’ve had Vol. […]

Family, War and Making a Better Life for Your Kid

Saga book 3 by Brian K. Vaughan Fiona Staples

February 23, 2021 by murderofcrows Leave a Comment

The young narrator of Saga, book 3 is born of parents from two different species engaged in a brutal war. Hazel is now old enough to understand that her family must hide, not only because her mom was a soldier who freed her dad while under her guard, but because her very existence disproves that the two species most definitely can co-exist. The war is a profitable venture for powers far beyond the hero parents and all the other grunts used as fodder on both sides. Hazel […]

Even supervillains love their kids

The Complete Runaways Vol. 1 (1-18) by Brian K. Vaughn

July 23, 2019 by Nyx Leave a Comment

The Runaways has always been on my to-do list ever since my husband read them and raved about it. Unfortunately, I tried watching a few episodes the TV adaptation and my interest cooled. Since then it’s just been sitting on my  “get around to it eventually” list. Enter Rainbow Rowell. She did what she always does and motivated me to actually do the thing. Everywhere I turn, her run of the Runaways is racking up praise and I, being the completionist I am, decided that […]

A family fighting to find their place in the world

Saga Volume One by Brian K. Vaughan

July 15, 2019 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

#cbr11bingo #Banned/Challenged Books Saga Volume One is classic fantasy meets classic science fiction meets classic graphic novel. We have sex (any kind you could imagine). We have drugs. We have violence (lots of violence). We have bestiality (Yes, boys and girls they went there!). And while I did not see it, I am sure there was some rock and roll but there is so much more. So much more. No wonder this series has been banned! (Again, I do not condone that, but I totally […]
