Comic & Manga Reviews
Eee! I’ve been waiting MONTHS for the next volume of Villains Are Destined to Die. (In reality, I think it was a month and a half - tops). Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 5 is everything I hoped it would be, and I’m thrilled to dive back into this series.
Ohhh! Things are getting interesting in The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 10. I love that we’re diving into a new collection of mysteries (that may or may not be tied into the first set; who knows?). It’s so perfect for this series.
The Mushroom Knight Vol. 1 is an interesting story about the organic side of magic. That’s a fascinating concept, so I knew I had to dive in right away (see my side note on why that was a mistake).
Cat's Favorite Series: Dandadan
When Jane Foster signed up for the job (or is it calling?) of Valkyrie, the odds are pretty good that she never expected to take on such a quest as this. In Valkyrie #7, Valkyrie is forced to step up and heal the most unexpected of patients.
I'll admit, this is probably the most conflicted I've felt about reviewing a book in a long, LONG time. On the one hand, I enjoyed the brutal reality that comes with relationship drama. On the other hand, it felt a little…forced and heavy-handed at times.
Ahhh! As a massive fan of the Cult of the Lamb game, I was excited by the news of a graphic novel adaptation. Better yet, it seems like Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse may be the first in a series? I can hope!
I don’t know why, but while I was reading A-DO 1, I felt like this story I should have read/heard about ages ago (like when I first got into manga). Either it just has that vibe, or this is a new translation of a classic. I could see it going either way.
I was browsing my local library recently, and The Abandoned Empress, Vol. 1 caught my attention (stunning cover!). So, with little thought or hesitation, I decided to try it! While I found the overall world fascinating, the tone of this story is just too heavy and down for me.
I have meant to read My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions for WAY too long, so I’m happy to dive back into this series. It’s just as fun and chaotic as I remembered, offering light entertainment to balance out the heaviness of the current MHA arc.
