Emma's heart has been utterly broken. It feels like she'll never be whole again – like her life would be better if she felt nothing. So one day, a mysterious stranger appears and offers to take all her problems away. All she has to do is wish her heart away, and it'll be gone.
Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider has been building up to something since it started. You see, names are important. And sometimes, you need to shed a name to keep moving forward. That's something Gwen has been learning.
Fans of Mirka Andolfo (Unnatural, Un/Sacred) will be thrilled to hear about her latest project, Mercy. It's a terrifying and thrilling new horror series full of vibrant (and memorable) artwork. One small town has been afraid of the Woodsburgh Devil for years. Yet only a small number of people truly understand the origins of the creatures – and why they plague the town so. Enter Lady Hellaine, a newcomer to the town, but one who has made effort to obfuscate her intent.
Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider has been putting Gwen through the ringer; this latest issue is no exception. This series has focused on Gwen and her struggle to get her feet on the ground (or hands on the web) and figure out her path as a superhero in her own right.
The characters of Spy x Family tend to keep themselves busy – and that means lots of chaos and adventures! Given that in a single family, we have a spy, an assassin, a telepath, and a (dog) seer, it makes sense that lots of...adventure will come their way.
Gwen has been making leaps and bounds in her life as of late. She's holding it together after the aftermath of Spider-Geddon, she's working on a work/life balance, and she might even have a boyfriend. But she's still got one major lesson left to learn when it comes to being an outted superhero.
Ohhh, these are perfect! I've read a few of the shorts from Bad Dreams in the Night (thanks to Patreon), but I definitely did not get to read all of them, so this was an absolute delight (terror). It's hard to pick my favorites, but I'd say that I loved Me and Evangeline at the Farm, Green Ribbon, Bus Stop, and Better Kate than Never the most.
Spencer & Locke is one series that hooks you in from the start. And the follow-up, Spencer & Locke 2, has been the same. This is the perfect read for anybody wanting a series with a seriously dark twist. Trust me, this series will never fail to surprise you with the twists and turns it takes.
I'm SO excited that Lies My Teacher Told Me is getting a graphic novel adaptation! I hope this makes it even more approachable to a larger audience. That said, I sat down and read the original novel in preparation for the graphic novel. Yes, I wanted to read and compare the book that compares history books. It seemed appropriate.
The times seem to keep getting darker and darker in Something is Killing the Children #12. It's an impressive feat, given the title and nature of the series. This is a world where monsters are real and very hungry.
