CBR15 BINGO: (Hold Steady Square: The main character here desperately tries to hold steady. She is terrible at it.) This is a little like Daisy Jones and the Six but with tennis, and I’m not mad about it. Not trying to diminish Jenkins Reid’s writing here at all. She has a lane and she is staying in it: complex female characters who are unapologetically who they are. Can they learn from their mistakes? Sure. Can they open up a little and let people in? They can. What they […]

“I’ll say it again, ideas are fragile things and sometimes it takes multiple people to pull a good one out of the ether. Just make sure everyone is pulling in the same direction.

Saga (Volume 10) by Brian K Vaughan

July 30, 2023 by cheerbrarian 2 Comments

CBR Bingo – Picture This Saga has always been a graphic roller coaster of emotion and violence wherein you’re laughing one minute, gasping the next, grimacing as you turn the page, and tearing up as you finish the volume.
