Comic & Manga Reviews
Cassandra Comics is a slice-of-life comic series that follows the one and only – Cassandra. The adventures are all very human, often revolving around hair humor/struggles and other relatable events. And, of course, it all has a comedic lens.
Super Trash Cash is the perfect graphic novel for anybody who loves video game nostalgia. This series has many other core elements, such as friendship, familial bonds, and why we hold so tightly to the things we cherish as children.
Some versions of Beauty and the Beast show a darker side of humanity. This is one such story. Belle has spent most of her life hidden away by her father, who blames her violet hair as reason enough to keep her away from the rest of society. But it has always felt like there was a darker reason for her isolation.
Onward with the Revenge of the Brood in Captain Marvel #45. Though, is anyone else wondering what precisely they're getting revenge on? After all, they're supposedly in a moment of peace. Granted, we all knew that wasn't going to last.
Multiple universes can result in many strange dilemmas, such as having to face off against two copies of the same antagonist. That's probably not something Gwen Stacy, Ghost-Spider, was expecting to face. And yet that is what she comes up against in Ghost-Spider #5.
Do you think you could survive a world of terror and death? Personally, I'm voting on no. The world of Oneira is dark and full of nightmares – sometimes more literally than one would like.
Essie Ash has always been able to see when and how people would die. It's not comforting to grow up knowing, but she's learned to cope with it. More importantly, she's found ways to save those she could. A gentle warning here and there can go a long way, especially when people know to listen.
If you promise me a graphic novel that is a merger between roller derby and coming-of-age, you better believe I will read it! And that is exactly what Wild: Or So I Was Born To Be promises readers.
Ryo has known for most of his life that he's transgender. However, life can be challenging when you have nobody you can talk to, especially about such an integral part of who you are. This is made all the more challenging by his crush on his best friend.
The Revenge of the Brood (part two) continues in Captain Marvel #44. This arc is killing it, if I may say so. I know, I know – I'm biased. But I'm happy to see so many of my favorite characters together (Spider-Woman, Hazmat, Psylocke, Polaris, Gambit, must I go on?).
