Comic & Manga Reviews
Once again, I’m late to the show. Greg Pak’s run on Darth Vader started over a year ago, but I’m just now getting around to it. The Handmaidens are some of my Star Wars characters, so I’ve been hearing the hype and hoping it lives up to my dreams.
If you gave me a million different versions of Clean Sweep, I’d read them All. This is the second installment in The Innkeeper Chronicles: Clean Sweep The Graphic Novel, and I loved it just as much as the first.
I’m back with Lore Olympus Vol. 2! I can still see why readers have fallen head over heels for this romance. That said, I’m still not as sucked in as I would like. I think it’s just because I’m still very burned out on Greek mythology/retellings.
The second I saw Orisha Volume 1: With Great Power, I knew I had to read it! The cover is simply striking (seriously, look at it!), and the description sounded compelling. I was not disappointed.
Once again, behind on the times, I'm trying to catch up on all the series I've missed out on. One such series is The Silver Coin, a horror anthology created by several of my favorite comic writers and authors. A big no-brainer for why I needed to read it!
Soma is such a strange yet fun tale; I don’t even know where to begin. It takes one comic book artist (ironic, I know) on a grand adventure that involves aliens and saving the world. The characters, even the human ones, are completely out of this world in the best of ways.
If you’re looking for a good novel with time loop shenanigans (think Groundhog Day), I have good news! You and Me on Repeat is a fantastic read that fits the bill. In addition to having all the chaos of a time loop, it has a romantic focus and a coming-of-age element.
I have been meaning to read I Hate Fairyland for (checks notes) eight years!?! How did that happen? Anyway, I’m super late to the scene but better late than never, right? I Hate Fairyland Vol. 1 is an instant chaotic mess, and I loved every second of it.
Night People is a compelling and sometimes disjointed story about a collection of people. Every person in this story has a reason for committing crimes, from simply liking it to trying to survive. It makes for an interesting view of the human soul.
So, I’m very behind on the times here, but I’m finally diving into Black Cloak. I should have done this sooner since one of my favorite comic authors (Kelly Thompson) is at the helm. Even aside from that, Black Cloak has a compelling premise - magical cities, royalty, and a police procedural all wrapped into one. What more could a girl ask for?!
