The Underwater Welder by Jeff Lemire

March 15, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I missed the morning meeting where my coworker mentioned the book The Underwater Welder as part of her book review, but the in the minutes she mentioned that Jeff Lemire’s book was one that she had reread as it was one of her favorite books. And though I only read the minutes, there was something about those few words, and the fact I know some of her reading style, her passion about books, that made me ask to borrow her copy. I put it aside […]

Hawkeye Learns to Set His Pride Aside

Hawkeye, Vol. 6: Hawkeyes by Jeff Lemire

February 10, 2020 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Hawkeye, Volume 6: Hawkeyes by Jeff Lemire My rating: 4 of 5 stars This volume takes us to the point where Clint and Kate go their separate ways. The plot is laid out in flash backs and forwards in time. This volume has more of Kate’s background than Clint’s. It feels like there needs to be one more volume to tie the three together. The main plot of this volume is project Communion. We see Clint and Kate on a mission for Maria Hill of […]

A Volume That Shows the Power of Graphic Novels

Hawkeye, Volume 5: All-New Hawkeye by Jeff Lemire

December 31, 2019 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Hawkeye, Volume 5: All-New Hawkeye by Jeff Lemire My rating: 5 of 5 stars This volume cuts deep. We start out with Barney and Clint catching frogs. Cut to them arriving at home anxious because their foster father will get home and won’t like that they’ve not cut the grass. Inferring here, the boys are in the foster system because their parents died. Also they live in Iowa. I find it interesting that a lot of these characters either come from New York or the […]

Mutants v. Inhumans – Wha’happen?

Uncanny X-Men: Superior - IVX (Volume 4) by Cullen Bunn

Extraordinary X-Men - IVX (Volume 4) by Jeff Lemire

All-New X-Men: Inevitable - IVX (Volume 4) by Dennis Hopeless

March 21, 2019 by Cabinderada Leave a Comment

These are some graphic novels detailing some outlying stories surrounding the main X-Men vs. Inhumans comic event from 2016(?) (see https://www.amazon.com/Inhumans-vs-X-Men/dp/1302906534). Honestly, not a lot of irreplacable information here. None of the books provide a complete story, and even taken together as a whole, provide a spotty story of the tragedy that was the destruction of New Attilan. Both All-New and Uncanny X-Men volumes contain that series’ annual (#1) and both Extraordinary and All-New X-Men volumes contain X-Men Prime #1. If I had to pick […]

Pretty Solid Series with an Good Conclusion: Didn’t Blow Me Away but Still Not Bad to Read

November 13, 2017 by Lisa Bee Leave a Comment

The final 2/3 of the Sweet Tooth series by Jeff Lemire, which started off gloomy but promising: a dark, post-apocalyptic story about a disease that wiped out most of the population, leaving few humans behind, along with all new babies born with animal features. The remainder of the series aims to answer some of the questions posed by the beginning of the series, all while continuing with the grim mood, with glimpses of hope splashed within. The 2nd book collecting story arcs “Animal Armies” and […]

Man Falls and Wildness Takes Over Again

October 12, 2017 by Lisa Bee Leave a Comment

Sometimes, at comic expos I decide that I can wear these deer antlers I have for no reason other than I feel like it. I usually pair this up with my regular everyday clothes (normally some kind of plaid flannel) and on my way I go! The last few times, however, I noticed for sale a comic series by the name of Sweet Tooth featuring a boy with deer antlers wearing a plaid shirt. And I think, “whoa, I unintentionally cosplayed!” Oh hey, I’m actually in that […]
