Comic & Manga Reviews
I am constantly amazed by Stacy King and Po Tse and the work they put into adapting classic novels into manga. You can really see the dedication and devotion they put towards their works – every adaptation I’ve read still carried the feel of the original novel, with the added beauty of artwork to support it. It truly makes for quite an experience, regardless of whether you’ve previously read the original story.

I’ve read a few of the Manga Classics by now, and I’m still in love with the concept. Translating the classics into manga is a brilliant idea, with an end result of more accessibility and beautiful artwork. It’s a win-win if you ask me. I can’t wait to continue my read through of this gorgeous series!
Return of the Purple Man is the third and final (I believe) volume in the latest run of Jessica Jones. While I am incredibly sad to see it go (it has been fantastic), I am happy with the note they chose to end everything on. It really only seems appropriate that they’d bring the Purple Man back in before another round of goodbyes.
I have to admit that I absolutely love the idea of making manga versions of all the classics! It’s so simple yet brilliant! I’m not so secretly hoping to see a Secret Garden one come out next. That would make me the happiest girl in the world!
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Imbalance is the sixth plot arc to stem from the animated series that fans have fallen so in love with. After the popularity bump that came when Avatar: The Last Airbender moved to Netflix, I was inspired to read through as many of the comics as possible. So far, it's been absolutely worth it!

It only seems appropriate to read and review Naruto, considering the release of Boruto Vol. 1. Volume one is the kick-off for a seventy-two volume series, as well as two (successful) TV series. That being said, I've noticed that there are really two categories for how people feel about Naruto: either they utterly hate it, or they are absolutely in love with it. There are very few people in between.
The teenage superheroes are back at it, this time they’re working to reduce crime in New York City. With even more cameos than normal (hello Cloak & Dagger, Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wolverine!), this volume is probably the busiest of the bunch.
I have been told time and time again that I need to read Fables, so I finally sat down and read Fables Vol. 1. The first story is pretty interesting, but I’m thinking that either it didn’t quite live up to the hype, or I just need to keep reading. You know what it’s like when a series has been overhyped to you.
