Comic & Manga Reviews
So, there are many reasons why I wanted to read X-23 Vol. 1. The two dominant reasons are this: X-23 is my favorite X-Men, and Marjorie Liu is one of my favorite authors. This is a bit of a match made in heaven for me. I'm surprised I hadn't previously read it (my comic TBR is so out of control).
The Spider-Verse is back! And if the cover is anything to go by, only Miles Morales can save the Web of Life in Spider-Verse #1. Spider-Verse will have to do a lot of explaining, given how the last spider-oriented event went.
So, I read Star: Birth of a Dragonas when it came out in issue format. Apparently, I forgot to come back around and review the full volume! Forgive my delay. (Side note: you can read my individual issue reviews on Monkeys Fighting Robots.)
Wow. I wish I could leave my review at "wow" because that accurately sums up how I felt upon finishing The Cull Vol. 1. This book is A LOT, but in the best ways possible. It's dark, emotional, tense, and fascinating, all in one.
Every now and then, you come across a series that makes you stop. He's Expecting Vol. 1 was the most recent series to do that to me. It's a great concept with a lot of potential to help people reassess their biases.
It makes sense that Qifrey would be quite busy in the kitchen. After all, he has a hoard of young apprentices to keep fed! That task is often easier said than done, given the variety of tastes and palettes he must work with on any given day.
So, I read Once & Future as the comics came out for the longest time. Unfortunately, I lost the thread at some point (despite loving the series), so I will read through the backlog before trying to get caught up! Hence why I'm reading Once & Future Vol. 1.
Sea of Stars #5 brings us back to the insane journey that Gil and his son, Kadyn, have been thrown into. This entire series has been an emotional rollercoaster. It takes the whole father/son dynamic and throws it into space. And thus, it adds a surprising amount of twists along the way.
Huh. This is not how I expected Your Throne Vol. 1 to go, but I have to admit that I love the twists. One volume in, and this series is already surprising me left and right! I can't wait to get my hands on the second volume (thankfully, I don't think I'll have to wait long).
Okay, wow. There's a lot to take in while reading Nights Vol. 1. It reads like an ordinary paranormal story (is there such a thing?)...at first. But the more you look at it, the more you realize that everything is different.
