Comic & Manga Reviews
If you like post-apocalyptic fiction, well, I was going to say you should check out Sweet Tooth, but the odds are good that you’ve already heard of it! Once again, I am behind on the times in actually reading hit series, but at least I got there.
Can you believe it!?! The Runaways have finally (finally!) been rebooted. While many of our precious Runaway characters have appeared in other series since, this is the first time since the end of the series that we’ve seen them all in one place again, and I am so excited!
American Vampire Vol. 4 is pretty drastically different from the previous three volumes, but I don’t hate that. Once again, this series is full of surprises! This is the last volume I read during my binge session, so I’ll have to line up the next few soon.
The West Coast Avengers is a newly formed team, using an older name from the world of Marvel. The team itself is…unexpected, but actually ends up being a lot of fun. The team consists of Kate Bishop (AKA Hawkeye, also the team leader), Clint Barton (AKA Hawkeye), Gwenpool, America Chavez, Quentin Quire (AKA Kid Omega), and Johnny Watts (AKA Fuse).
This series continues to surprise me with the twists and turns it takes. Every time I think we’ve seen every character in the series, new ones come flying out of nowhere. Well, not nowhere, but you get what I mean.
Jessica Jones: Alias Vol. 1 is one of the most groundbreaking series out there, involving the one and only Jessica Jones. Not to be confused with Jessica Drew, another detective of the Marvel universe. This is where Jess' series really ramped up, and made her story famous (or is it infamous?).
American Vampire Vol. 2 continues to weave a compelling tale of vampires, politics, and corruption. That said, it has not gone the way I expected, and I’m not mad about that. I do love it when a series surprises me.
I read American Vampire Vol. 1 years ago, but decided to sit down and binge the series over one weekend. Naturally, that made me realize that I never got around to reviewing this the first time around. Woops.
The Vision is often hailed as a must-read for Marvel Comics. While I know the highlights of the series, I’ve never actually sat down to read the whole thing from beginning to end. I’m here to right that wrong, starting with The Vision Vol. 1.
If you’re looking for a more visual version of A Wizard of Earthsea, this graphic novel adaptation is perfect for you. A Wizard of Earthsea is a classic fantasy tale for a reason, so even if you’ve never read the original, you’ve probably seen its influence in many other tales.
