The Girl, the Shovel, and the Evil Eye, Vol. 1 begins like many other Isekai/reincarnation stories – with a sad background followed almost immediately by death. That bit really shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone, though it did a good job of quickly setting the tone.
Review: Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1
Ohhhh, a new Blade series? Better yet, a series about his family – specifically his daughter? Um, yes, please! Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1 is exactly the sort of series I've been hoping for. I just hadn't realized it until now.
Review: Ghost-Spider #10 (Marvel)
Gwen Stacy is back; from the looks of it, she's about to get into more trouble than ever in Ghost-Spider #10. This is a young woman who has seen it all, from the death of her best friend to a multidimensional war. Now? Now she's got a whole different problem to deal with.
Tapas Tuesdays: Solo Leveling
Okay, okay. I've been hearing nonstop chatter about Solo Leveling. And it makes sense; there's a TV adaptation on the horizon (I can't wait), and the writing is pretty solid. Though if I'm being honest, it's the artwork I love!
Review: Tentacles at My Throat
Tentacles at My Throat is not your ordinary story. This is the tale of three friends and one secret. It's a secret that festered for fifteen years before coming back to bite them all. As with secrets, they have a way of multiplying and growing the longer they are left alone.

Review: Ghost-Spider #8 (Marvel Comics)
Gwen Stacy’s multi-dimensional adventures continue in Ghost-Spider #8. Once again, we’re reminded of all the differences in Gwen’s universe, not least of which is the difference between the classic heroes we know and their alternates in other dimensions.
Review: The Rocketeer: The Great Race
It's apparently been forty years since the original release of The Rocketeer, and IDW celebrated that by launching a new miniseries. Written and illustrated by Stephen Mooney, this volume is perfect for fans old and new.
Tapas Tuesdays: Who Made Me a Princess?
I want to call Who Made Me a Princess? A cute series, but it probably has too many heavy undertones for that to apply. Our leading lady has a lot of trauma in her life – both lives. But the good news is that she has an indomitable personality, which means she will win this world over. One person at a time.
