No.

November 27, 2017 by tillie Leave a Comment

No. Just. No. You need more? Fine. Here’s more. I was reading the introduction to this because Margaret Atwood wrote the introduction and it was lovely. Here was this old lady who decided to write a comic book about a man who’s both bird and cat even though she’s so old that she no longer has a cat, because she is afraid she would trip over it. Then she starts talking about Catbird. She dives into the themes of a man being both a cat […]

Please sir, I want some more

November 17, 2017 by Malin 2 Comments

From the back blurb: Susan, Esther and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation”, influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia”, they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get […]

The end

November 13, 2017 by tillie Leave a Comment

The end of batman is always a fascinating concept, because Batman can’t die. Not really. He’s not a mortal man, he’s an idea a legend which is what makes him able to still be alive after so many years, changing and evolving to be a vigilante in whichever time period that doesn’t need him, but totally deserves him. The story takes place at the wake of Batman. We enter a small Gotham City bar in an alley where a lone bartender guards the entry to […]

I’m a leaf on the wind!

October 30, 2017 by tillie Leave a Comment

We’re back on Serenity!! Leaves on the wind takes place after the movie Serenity.  Our gang is in trouble after the big reveal, they are hunted by the confederation, obviously, but the resistance group has also taken an interest in Mal. They want to make him their front figure in order to inspire the masses into an uprising, sort of like the Mockingbird in the Hunger Games I think. I honestly couldn’t say much about the plot. This is definitely a character book. Fans of […]

Super Sons Vol. 1 When I Grow Up by Peter Tomasi

One for the pull list

October 17, 2017 by J 3 Comments

Oh, wow, this was a lot of fun! Because I don’t read a lot of Bat family books, I know the barest of facts about Damien Wayne. I know he’s Talia’s son by Bruce, that’s he’s the current Robin, he’s smart, and he’s a bit of a brat. I know even less about Jonathan Kent, son of Superman. (But a different Superman? Like an alternate universe Superman? I don’t know.) The two of them together? Magic. They bicker and press each other’s buttons like siblings. […]

“And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids…”

September 22, 2017 by Caitycat 1 Comment

I was a huge fan of Scooby Doo as a child. I loved the dog, the mystery solving, and Daphne’s groovy purple dress and shoes. I’m pretty sure that I watched any and every version of Scooby Doo that was available. I saw Scooby Apocalypse available through my library website, so I figured I would give it a shot. Scooby Apocalypse offers a hardcore version of our beloved characters. Shaggy works at an underground lab training the enhanced smart dogs. His favorite among them is […]
