The Marked shows us a world in which magic does truly exist. One must know how to create or transfer glyphs onto the skin to gain control of them. But as The Marked #4 is quick to prove, that does not mean power will never fall into the wrong hands.
Eeee! Sorry, but I’ve been waiting months (MONTHS) for Spy x Family Vol. 12, and it’s finally here! I’m so excited, to put it mildly. The cover had me hoping that we’d maybe be getting more backstory about Twilight’s handler, but even if we didn’t, I knew I’d enjoy the story.
I picked up Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees on an impulse. The description and cover are so incongruous (intentionally so) that I knew it was worth reading. I was not disappointed. That said, don't dive into this book without understanding that you WILL be getting a woodland version of Dexter.
So, I think we all saw this coming. The major War of the Realms event has hit Superior Spider-Man. And it brought a temporary team for our genius to deal with: the West Coast Avengers. Obviously, fans of the now-canceled series will likely be thrilled to see their reappearance, no matter how brief it is.
Did you binge through Star Trek: Picard and find yourself wanting more? If so, then this graphic novel is probably perfect. It's not the same as getting a second season, but it'll help pass the time as we anxiously await all news.
Once again, there's so much going on in X-Men Vol. 3 that it's borderline overwhelming. Thankfully, the writing and characters are so powerful that this isn't off-putting. Additionally, it ensures a plot for everyone (how could there not be?!).
Stranger Things has been jumping on board the novel and graphic novel train lately. So far, there are two novels out (soon to be three), and now there's a second graphic novel series in progress.
I remember reading X-23: Innocence Lost ages ago. But recently, I've been craving a re-read of all things X-23, so here I am! But seriously, this volume hits hard. Honestly, a lot of origin stories tend to hit hard, but Laura's is especially difficult to read.
The dark tale continues as Stray Dogs continues in Stray Dogs #3. This series somehow found the perfect balance between Lady and the Tramp and Silence of the Lambs. It's compelling and highly disturbing all in one.
Have you ever found yourself hoping for a series that blends Lady and the Tramp themes with Silence of the Lambs? Well, good news! That is exactly what Stray Dogs promises. So get ready to cry, and probably get a little bit scared at times. You know, just in case.
