I never thought a day would come where I would not be fan-girling over a new Marissa Meyer work. Sadly that day is here. I thought about this a lot last night, and I think the biggest issue I have with this graphic novel, is that the characters we have come to love in the books are so flat in graphic novel form. I just honestly didn’t care what was going to happen throughout and found my mind wandering as I did. And some of […]
I-I’m a-a-already dead
I LOVE Rob Thomas’ adaptation of iZombie. It’s fantastic, one of my favorite shows. Of course, the show made me curious about the comic series of the same name. Spoiler alert: I like the show better. There isn’t actually a lot of common ground between the two aside from a shared title and a zombie protagonist who eats brains and uses them to see the person’s memories. The books did still have their own weird charm. For a full run down of the differences, you […]
My first Brandon Sanderson 3-Star Read, with a caveat!
Sad to say White Sand didn’t quite work for me. That’s a first for me and Brandon Sanderson, but in this instance, I’m hesitant to count it. I didn’t realize until I opened this book up that Sanderson didn’t actually write it. Okay, but wait, let me back up a little. So White Sand is actually Brandon Sanderson’s first completed novel. He put it away for a while after writing it, and then brought it out years later to revamp it, but ultimately, it was […]
An Interesting Origin Story. How……….original.
Kamala Khan is having the typical high school experience of a first generation child of immigrants. At least the one that I have seen represented through My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Aziz Ansari in Master of None. As a grand daughter of immigrants, I got to experience the food and the holiday traditions, but otherwise had the typical middle American and middle class childhood. However, I strongly identified with the experiences of the characters in this book. I don’t usually like to relive high […]
Bad Feet
Dancer is a trade paperback collection of Nate Edmondson’s five part series of the same name. It was published by Image in 2012. In the first chapter, a grizzled old American and his Irish ballerina girlfriend are chased by police and an assassin. The assassin, it turns out, looks an awfully lot like the grizzled old American.On paper, Dancer sounds like a fantastic book. Image has been on fire, lately, Edmondson is working on major books like Punisher and Black Widow, and the premise is […]
My Kinda Horror
I have a…complicated relationship with the horror genre. For most of my life, I avoided it entirely, more afraid of the fear and uncertainty that would come as a result of the scary thing than the scary thing itself. But I loved those books and movies that existed right on the edge of horror–Frankenstein and Dracula were just creepy enough to satisfy my desire for something mildly frightening, but weren’t so scary that I found it difficult to sleep at night. Through the Woods is something different. […]
