Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider has been building up to something since it started. You see, names are important. And sometimes, you need to shed a name to keep moving forward. That's something Gwen has been learning.
Fans of Mirka Andolfo (Unnatural, Un/Sacred) will be thrilled to hear about her latest project, Mercy. It's a terrifying and thrilling new horror series full of vibrant (and memorable) artwork. One small town has been afraid of the Woodsburgh Devil for years. Yet only a small number of people truly understand the origins of the creatures – and why they plague the town so. Enter Lady Hellaine, a newcomer to the town, but one who has made effort to obfuscate her intent.
Okay, so I probably should have read the description a bit more before diving into After the Rain Vol. 1. Admittedly, I didn't love the plot right off the bat. Still, I did try to give it a fair chance, especially as they made it clear that the romance would always be doomed because of the age difference.
It's the twist we all knew was coming! But seriously, the building tension about Shinra's brother has been perfectly crafted. It made me excited to read Fire Force Vol. 8, to say the least.
Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider has been putting Gwen through the ringer; this latest issue is no exception. This series has focused on Gwen and her struggle to get her feet on the ground (or hands on the web) and figure out her path as a superhero in her own right.
The characters of Spy x Family tend to keep themselves busy – and that means lots of chaos and adventures! Given that in a single family, we have a spy, an assassin, a telepath, and a (dog) seer, it makes sense that lots of...adventure will come their way.
I adore stories that can play with tropes and have fun. So naturally, I fell in love with She's My Knight Vol. 1. This novel takes many classic shojo elements (heroines/knights/etc) and turns them into a blast and a half.
Oh wow, Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 8 kinda gave me all the feels. A lot is going on here, and most of it will make you want to hug one character or another (or, you know, all of them at once!). It's the perfect addition to the series.
Gwen has been making leaps and bounds in her life as of late. She's holding it together after the aftermath of Spider-Geddon, she's working on a work/life balance, and she might even have a boyfriend. But she's still got one major lesson left to learn when it comes to being an outted superhero.
Ohhh, these are perfect! I've read a few of the shorts from Bad Dreams in the Night (thanks to Patreon), but I definitely did not get to read all of them, so this was an absolute delight (terror). It's hard to pick my favorites, but I'd say that I loved Me and Evangeline at the Farm, Green Ribbon, Bus Stop, and Better Kate than Never the most.
