Comic & Manga Reviews
I’ll admit, I was a bit on the fence about X-Force when I first started reading it. Mostly, I was keeping up with it because I was desperately trying (and somewhat failing) to keep up with all the comics in From the Ashes.
Cat's Favorite Series
This is my favorite volume of the series, thus far. If you’ve read it, you probably know why! The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 12 perfectly balances drama, romantic potential, and comedy. So it’s perfection.
Ahhhh! It’s here! I am obsessed with Villains Are Destined to Die, so I’m psyched to be reading the next volume of this series. I’m currently in the process of binge-reading my way through it again on Tapas, in the hopes that I can get ahead of the manga volume releases (it’s taking too long!).
Okay, so you pitch a graphic novel to me and you promise it’ll be just Spirited Away, with a dash of A Very Goofy Movie vibes, and you just know I’m gonna read it. So, I did! Love, Misha has some very solid comps, but it lives up to those set expectations.
Man, I thought the first volume was chaotic (and admittedly fun). X-Factor Vol. 2 leans even heavier into the commentary, satire, and yes, chaos. It’s a mixed bag, as there are some elements that I really enjoyed.
Man, Dandadan always finds new ways to up the ante, I’ll give it that! Dandadan Vol. 12 is a heavy-hitting volume that isn’t afraid to push each character to their limit. There’s an alien invasion in the works, everyone is at their limit, and both grandmas are too far away to help. That could spell disaster, right?
The end is near, and I don’t mean that in a doom-and-gloom sense. Solo Leveling is near the end of the series (though, by now, we all know that this was actually a prequel series). I’m a bit behind on actually reading the conclusion, but I’m getting there!
If post-apocalyptic horror is your cup of tea, Nocterra is the series for you. I may have only gotten through the first volume (so far), but I can already tell that much! Nocterra Vol. 1 is a heavy-hitting and compelling introduction to this dark world.
The fall of Krakoa shook everyone, readers and characters alike. At least, that’s how it felt to this reader. So, naturally, I tried to make a point of checking out all the new From the Ashes series, including X-Factor.
