Comic & Manga Reviews
Throw cats into a graphic novel, and you know I will read it. Just sayin'. Skull Cat: Skull Cat and the Curious Castle is a short and sweet graphic novel created by Norman Shurtliff. It's set in a fantastical world where vampires, monsters, and ghosts exist - as do talking cats. Naturally.
Time to dive into a new fantasy manga! The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World, Vol. 1, is the first in a brand new series created by Norihito Sasaki. This latest series leans heavily into the Shonen/magic world and has a lot of potential.
Annnnd we're off! By that, I mean it's time to dive into a new plot arc in Captain Marvel #43. As the title suggests (Revenge of the Brood), this is likely to be an intense arc, and I cannot wait to see how it plays out.
Gwen is back! Again! This time she’s back with a new title and name. It’s something that they’ve been building for over a year now, but it’s still exciting to see it in action. Now it’s time for Gwen to rock the new Ghost-Spider name.
One of the many things I love about long-running comic series is that they understand the value of palette cleansers. Captain Marvel #42 is set between arcs, meaning it's a little lighter and much less intense than other plots. In other words, it's a bit of a break in all the chaos that is Captain Marvel's story.
Has anybody else been searching for a sweet new romantic manga to dive into? My latest search brought me to Lightning and Romance, Vol. 1, written and illustrated by Rin Mikimoto (the creator who brought readers Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight and Kira-Kun Today).
