If you’ve been on the internet at all, you’ve probably seen Pusheen in one form or another. She has a blog, a set of Facebook stickers, and a bunch of merch at online indie shops. If you’re already a fan, you will get most of your favorite comics in one book. And if you’re a newbie, hopefully you will be inspired to check out her tumblr. My darling BFF and I had a belated Christmas gift exchange. This is what she got me, minus the chocolate. I’ve already eaten that. I have one cat, and […]
Rat Queens; A Glorious Perversion of a Book
Holy gorram gosh-darnit. Oh boy. This was glorious. Heavenly, sexy, badass, emotional glory. Kick-ass and smart and I’m gonna use the word sexy again, like designers use it in that annoying way to objectify an already object existing as an object. Rat Queens is good. Admittedly, I did not think Rat Queens was something I would enjoy – it was only after a trusted recommendation that I gave it a second look. Even then the title “Sass and Sorcery” seemed crude and try-hard. Furthermore a […]
So Many Comics, So Little Time
I keep seeing these Best American editions in my library and as someone who enjoys lists and finding out about unknown sources of literature, I’ve always wanted to pick one up and get to know some new authors. The Best American Comics 2014 edited by Scott McCloud and Bill Kartalopoulos gave me the idea that I should get more familiar with the graphic novel/comic world. I’ve read a few for Cannonball Read 6, but I wanted to expand my horizons. Thankfully, I wasn’t disappointed. Scott […]
Ms. Marvel; the Delight of the Origin Story
You must have heard about Ms. Marvel – it’s the most important comic of 2014; it even says so on the cover! What’s so important about it? The new Ms. Marvel, Kamala, is a muslim. I cannot believe that it’s 2015 and stories with non-white, non-Christian people is still such a big thing. It is a step in the right direction though, that is; it’s another story. So this review will focus on the actual story. Which is an origin story. I love a good […]
The Saga Continues
If you’re a comic book reader, I shouldn’t have to tell you that you should be reading Saga. What you might not know is that the award-winning series written by Brian K Vaughan (Y the Last Man, Runaways) and illustrated by Fiona Staples (T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents) was recently released in its 4th trade paperback volume. This is a review of it. No spoilers, I promise. Read the rest of it here.
I did it, I really really did it!
It’s a Fables encyclopedia. But, more importantly, I made it!! I almost didn’t think I was going to. This has been wonderful fun. I’m definitely signing up for next year, except I’m only committing to a half Cannonball. With a new baby on the way, and how close I came to the wire on this one, I don’t think I can make it to 52 next year. Thanks to everyone for the interesting reviews and to MsWas for keeping this ship afloat. I hope everyone […]
