The Best Comics & Graphic Novels of 2024 (According to Cat)
Manga Monday: Handyman Saitou in Another World, Vol. 1
Okay, I’ll admit it: I LOVE this concept. Handyman Saitou in Another World, Vol. 1 introduces us to a story where basically an ordinary dude ends up in a magical world. Ironically, it’s his ordinary skills that make him valuable there.
Series Binge: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 7
Wow. It’s just one emotional hit after another with this series! The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 7 is another homerun, as far as I’m concerned. It follows up the previous arc with everything I could have hoped for and arguably more.
WOTN Review: Thor #10 (Marvel Comics)
Longstanding fans of Thor and his series are probably more than familiar with the character Donald Blake. Yet they are in for quite the surprise, thanks to the events in Thor #10. This continues the plot in issue #9, and it looks like things are about to get so much worse for our hero and his allies.
Manga Monday: The Essence of Being a Muse, Vol. 1
I’m always searching for a new manga series to get hooked on (seriously, I need recommendations), so I decided to try The Essence of Being a Muse, Vol. 1. I liked the idea of playing around with muses and the like.
Series Binge: My Hero Academia Vol. 31
Whew. This arc hits HARD. That is especially true for the wrap-up volume, My Hero Academia Vol. 31. Horikoshi isn't pulling punches. To be fair, we're talking about an all-out battle between heroes and villains, so I wouldn't expect anything less.
WOTN Review: Thor #9 (Marvel Comics)
King Thor's adventures – and trials - continue in Thor #9. He may be the King of Asgard, but that doesn't mean all of his troubles are gone. The opposite is true if recent events are anything to go by. The real question is, how does he plan to deal with all the new difficulties?
Manga Monday: Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop, Vol. 1
I didn’t realize this until after reading it, but is Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop, Vol. 1 actually based on anime? You don’t normally see the adaptation going that way, so I found that to be a bit funny (side note: I wonder how the anime is?).
Review: The Way of the Househusband Vol. 11
I don't think Tatsu's adventures will ever end! Seriously, he keeps finding new ways to get up in other people's business. On the bright side, I got to read The Way of the Househusband Vol. 11, so I can hardly complain.
WOTN Review: Thor #7 (Marvel Comics)
Thor has gone through so much in recent years – both in the comics and movies. And from the looks of things, his journey is far from over. Thor #7 is about to bring even more change and surprises.
