I've been reading Poorly Drawn Lines here and there for what feels like ages (I know, I need to be better at staying up with the comics), so I was excited to get my hands on Hope It All Works Out!
Review: Hope It All Works Out!
Manga Monday: Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Vol. 2
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Has got to be one of the more unique series I've read (side note: Yes, I've heard of Delicious in Dungeons, it's on my list). I love the strange balance this series has struck between fantasy, food, monsters, and romance.
Series Binge: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 4
By complete accident, Maomao has begun to make a name for herself within the inner palace. Some of her reputation is good (her knowledge of medicine, plants, and poisons), some less so (her love of ingesting poison). It makes for a comical balance as we read along.
Review: Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 2
What would you do if you were trapped in the last dating sim you played? Depending on the difficulty, you'd probably panic, right? I know I would (and I don't even play dating sims!). Penelope is proving her mettle in Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 2, as she tackles each challenge thrown her way.
WOTN Review: The Marked #4 (Image Comics)
The Marked shows us a world in which magic does truly exist. One must know how to create or transfer glyphs onto the skin to gain control of them. But as The Marked #4 is quick to prove, that does not mean power will never fall into the wrong hands.
Review: Spy x Family Vol. 12
Eeee! Sorry, but I’ve been waiting months (MONTHS) for Spy x Family Vol. 12, and it’s finally here! I’m so excited, to put it mildly. The cover had me hoping that we’d maybe be getting more backstory about Twilight’s handler, but even if we didn’t, I knew I’d enjoy the story.
Review: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees
I picked up Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees on an impulse. The description and cover are so incongruous (intentionally so) that I knew it was worth reading. I was not disappointed. That said, don't dive into this book without understanding that you WILL be getting a woodland version of Dexter.
Manga Monday: She’s My Knight Vol. 2
She's My Knight Vol. 2 was and wasn't everything I expected from this sequel. Let me break that down into two parts. First, it absolutely continues the cutesy and funny romantic plot introduced in the last volume.
Series Binge: Dandadan Vol. 5
Another chaotic adventure! I'll admit that parts of Dandadan Vol. 5 were a bit more tense than usual (think of Momo's first encounter with the aliens, and you'll have a close enough idea). I didn't love it, but the stakes had to be set, right?
WOTN Review: Superior Spider-Man #8 (Marvel)
So, I think we all saw this coming. The major War of the Realms event has hit Superior Spider-Man. And it brought a temporary team for our genius to deal with: the West Coast Avengers. Obviously, fans of the now-canceled series will likely be thrilled to see their reappearance, no matter how brief it is.
