Comic & Manga Reviews
Here marks the end of the (well, this) Darth Vader series. It was a good run, and overall, I really enjoyed it. This series could be read as a standalone or alongside the main Star Wars plot. The whole series, from start to finish, occurs between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, and until now, I hadn’t really thought about what occurred in that time span.
Cat's Favorite Series: Villains Are Destined to Die
The dramatic adventures of the first volume teased a bigger bad working behind the scenes, and it looks like Birds of Prey Vol. 2 continues to carry that plot. Given that our Barbara Gordon is the first target, it’s hard not to feel a bit invested in how things turn out.
This week, I finally caved in and started reading through Darth Vader (courtesy of Marvel Unlimited, which is the biggest supporter of comic binge-reading). So I'm a little behind on the times, but I'm really glad I'm finally getting around to reading it because it has been fantastic! No additional reading is needed to understand what's happening here, as all the context is provided within the first couple of pages (I love it when that happens). This is especially true if you've seen all the movies (and if you haven't, you're probably not likely to want to read the comics anyway?).
DC continues creating graphic novels with a younger focus on Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed. Here, we're provided with another glimpse at an origin story for Diana, yet it's nothing like we've seen before.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read any Spider-Man (I know, shame on me), so I went ahead and grabbed some of the recent highlights to binge. One is The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 by Zeb Wells.
Cat's Favorite Series: The Apothecary Diaries
It's safe to say it, but the West Coast Avengers is ending early. Thankfully, the creative team involved knew that it was coming, so they were able to complete the current arc and give us a chance to say goodbye.
I have a lot of complicated feelings about Captain Marvel Vol. 2. I didn't hate it, but I also feel like I could have loved it more. This is a strange place for me to be in, as I'm pretty much a huge Captain Marvel fangirl.
If you've been following Wasted Space, you're already aware of how good this series is at toying with your emotions. The twists and turns make it hard to predict or anticipate, and that's part of what makes this series so interesting.
