Poison Ivy may not be on a quest to destroy all of humanity (for the moment), but that doesn’t mean she’s found her place in the world. She knows there’s more she needs to be doing, but finding the balance is the trick.
Finally getting caught up on Jed MacKay’s run on The Avengers, starting with The Avengers Vol. 1 (duh). I love that Captain Marvel is back in charge. Though truthfully, I just love it when they swap leaders regardless. Change is good, right?
So, I have a confession to make: I’m so hooked on Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint that I read several volumes worth of it over the course of one week. Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.
Guys, do not sleep on reading Poison Ivy by G. Willow Wilson. This series is everything, and I cannot overstate that fact. If you’re a Poison Ivy fan, this series is pure perfection, breaking down the character and building her back up from the roots.
There’s a lot going on in NYX Vol. 2, and I do mean a lot. We have personal dilemmas (Kamala’s family, Laura’s friends/romances, Anole’s hopes, Sophie’s Cuckoo history, etc), new villains, and many twists.
I sincerely think that I may be in love with DC’s Absolute Universe. It has yet to disappoint (me), and that includes Absolute Green Lantern. Absolute Green Lantern Vol. 1 is a phenomenal start to a new take on Green Lanterns and the Spectrum of Light.
Guys, I am hooked on Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. I’m pretty sure I just binge-read five or so volumes in one go, and these are not short volumes! Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.
Wow. I love the Absolute Universe. It’s given different creative teams a chance to create whole new spins on beloved characters, and the one for Superman did not disappoint. Absolute Superman Vol. 1 introduces a different history for both Kal-El and Krypton. It also portrays a very different Earth, for that matter.
NYX is one of six series that launched Marvel’s From the Ashes event, and it took a lot of risks. The story is set in the city, taking a tighter focus on what’s happening in mutant lives after the fall of Krakoa.
How does Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint keep finding new ways to up the ante? Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Vol. 4 brings the core group back together, with the addition of some unwilling members (sort of?). Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.
