Should I just copy and paste things from my previous reviews of this series so as to just really hammer the point home? “Okay, so Ms. Marvel is probably my SECOND favorite comic, definitely my favorite superhero comic. I love Carol Danvers probably as much as I love Kamala Khan, but the last couple of Captain Marvel trades have fallen a little flat for me, and meanwhile G. Willow Wilson continues to absolutely KILL IT with Kamala.” -Me, three years ago “How does this series […]
“Comics to make you cry laughing and cry crying”
When I was a kid, my dad had a couple of volumes of collections of The Far Side Gallery comics, and I… well, to be honest, when I first read them I was much too young to understand more than one in thirty of them, but eventually, I loved them. I was so envious of Gary Larson, and his ability to both draw and be funny at the same time, that I spent a significant amount of time in middle school pretending that I also had both […]
These were not quite the buff dudes I had pictured, but they definitely get the job done
Cannonball Bingo Spot – Cover Art. I mean, could you pass this up? Do you know about Owl Turd Comix? Because you should. It’s … uber relatable? And hilarious? And topical? A little bit too on the nose on occasion? And other times, just 100% the plain honest truth. So this is a collection of some of the best Owl Turd strips, and I highly recommend you check it out, if you could use a laugh as much as I could, right […]
I’m not sure I understood it, but I liked it?
“The world is hard and unforgiving, it can change you. Because we’re made up of all the things that happen to us. The good things fill your heart. But the bad things, and what we choose to do with them, really make us who we are…” Okay, so this was a weird one and I’m not sure I grasped everything that went down. I’m not at all familiar with Doom Patrol, so I don’t have any prior knowledge coming into this. I liked My Chemical […]
Didn’t like as much as Part One.
I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first, but I think that’s on me this time. The art is still the same beautiful quality, the writing is still true to the characters, the worldbuilding is still impeccable. It’s just, this volume happens to feature two things that I personally really dislike in stories. And on top of that there’s a cliffhanger! Number one thing that I don’t enjoy in stories almost 100% of the time: stories about gangs and organized crime. I just, […]
Bloody, beautiful Monstress
I adored the first volume of Marjorie Liu’s Monstress. Sana Takeda’s art is one of the most stunning that I’ve come across in a comic. At the same time, it’s also unbelievably violent and brutal. I find this pairing somewhat evocative of the Hannibal TV series, which I also loved. (I don’t know what this says about me – that I am ok with gore, provided it’s beautifully presented?) Monstress is set an alternative, matriarchal, steampunk Asia, which is inhabited by humans, anthropomorphic animal gods […]
