I was looking for a little pop culture distraction today. Something easy. Not too long. Something I could immerse myself in for a little while and ignore everything else, and then I remembered that I picked Paper Girls Vol. 1 up at the library the other day and said, YES. THIS. And I’m glad I did. I’m not sure I have a clue what’s going on here. But it definitely distracted me for a little while (in a good way. I think). Paper Girls is […]
Tim Kaine is a Lying Cat (no, really). Or, I talk politics and Saga at once.
Everyone has already reviewed this volume of Saga, so there’s not too much I can add. Also, I read it so long ago, that Volume 7 *must* be on its way out, right? Right? I digress. [ETA: March 28, 2017, according to Amazon. THAT’S SO LONG TO WAIT, CAN WE GET A KICKSTARTER GOING] I don’t know how much my review will add to the discussion, but I plan to give it my best shot. But can I just say, that THIS is my personal […]
Can I have the next one now, please?
July brought another volume of Saga and there was great rejoicing in the Patterson household (well, at least from me, the husband is still a few books behind. I honestly have no idea where his priorities are). The action has jumped ahead a few years since we last saw our band of plucky protagonists, and Hazel is now living with her grandmother in a detention centre on Landfall, and she’s going to kindergarten and making friends her own age for the first time. She’s becoming […]
I find your lack of Lying Cat disturbing
I learned of this series in a comment from emmalita and I’m very grateful! I TORE through Volumes 1-5 last year, trading volumes with my best reading buddy. It’s the last time I remember staying up until 2am to read. This is my first time reading a graphic novel series, and I’m still blown away by the art and the ability to convey so much story in each frame. I reviewed Volume 5 before diving in, which was a good idea after a long break. […]
Now I know what male dragons get up to when they’re alone
Saga. What does one say about Saga? It’s a force of nature. Impossibly grand in scope while remaining completely character driven. And while there are arguably two (and a half) main characters — Alana, Marko, and toddler Hazel — the secondary players are just as well-developed, sympathetic, and alive as the mains. It’s sophisticated yet totally crass, complex and bizarre yet familiar and universal. It’s utterly audacious. It’s the type of story that gives you this disgustingly adorable anthropomorphic baby seal character, right out of […]
Epically epic epicness and more words that also mean epic.
Turns out I didn’t wait long enough to start this series. I have fast run out of Saga and that is a tragedy. When is the next book? Siiiiigh. (Reminder to self for next time starting a Brian K. Vaughan series: the “long enough” time to wait to start a series of his is “when it’s already finished”.) Slight spoilers to follow. More than any other book in this series so far, I feel like Volume 5 really hit home for me why this series […]
