Sayabito: Swords of Destiny Vol. 1 is the first in a new fantasy series, and I'll confess that it was totally that bright and happy cover that originally caught my attention. Still, it seemed like it was worth the read!
So, there are many reasons why I wanted to read X-23 Vol. 1. The two dominant reasons are this: X-23 is my favorite X-Men, and Marjorie Liu is one of my favorite authors. This is a bit of a match made in heaven for me. I'm surprised I hadn't previously read it (my comic TBR is so out of control).
The Spider-Verse is back! And if the cover is anything to go by, only Miles Morales can save the Web of Life in Spider-Verse #1. Spider-Verse will have to do a lot of explaining, given how the last spider-oriented event went.
Every now and then, you come across a series that makes you stop. He's Expecting Vol. 1 was the most recent series to do that to me. It's a great concept with a lot of potential to help people reassess their biases.
Sea of Stars #5 brings us back to the insane journey that Gil and his son, Kadyn, have been thrown into. This entire series has been an emotional rollercoaster. It takes the whole father/son dynamic and throws it into space. And thus, it adds a surprising amount of twists along the way.
Huh. This is not how I expected Your Throne Vol. 1 to go, but I have to admit that I love the twists. One volume in, and this series is already surprising me left and right! I can't wait to get my hands on the second volume (thankfully, I don't think I'll have to wait long).
Huh. Small Nozomi and Big Yume Vol. 1 is an interesting start to a quirky series, to say the least. Both characters have a lot of backstory, though it will take some time before it is all revealed (remembered?).
X-Men Vol. 1 is another powerful addition to this famous series. I think I read at least half the single comics in this volume, if not more. But I'm happy to have read them in this compiled version, and I look forward to reading the rest.
Sea of Stars #4 brings us back to the lost father and son duo in this dark and enthralling series. This is a space story like no other, full of adventures, vibrant space, and, okay, there are some talking aliens. But they defy expectations.
Ohhhh, man. This is a dark isekai if I've ever seen one! Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 1 is so emotionally compelling that all I want to do is bundle Penelope up and protect her from the world—or keep reading. Yeah, it's the latter.
