Yes! Poison Ivy is back in Gotham, and back with Harley! You love to see it. I know that Poison Ivy will probably continue to leave Gotham here and there, but it’s good to see her coming back home, even for a bit. I’m also ticked that Killer Croc has been thrown into the mix, as he balances this unique group quite well.
Wow. Okay. I was not expecting such a twist in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider. One moment, we’re in New York of Earth-616, dealing with a new set of antagonists (complete with a potential romantic interest), the next we’re off in space, dealing with Cosmic Cubes and Loki.
I binge-read a ton of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, and yet I still have so much more to go. I’m not complaining about that! Though it is a bit intimidating. Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.
Poison Ivy may not be on a quest to destroy all of humanity (for the moment), but that doesn’t mean she’s found her place in the world. She knows there’s more she needs to be doing, but finding the balance is the trick.
Finally getting caught up on Jed MacKay’s run on The Avengers, starting with The Avengers Vol. 1 (duh). I love that Captain Marvel is back in charge. Though truthfully, I just love it when they swap leaders regardless. Change is good, right?
So, I have a confession to make: I’m so hooked on Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint that I read several volumes worth of it over the course of one week. Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.
Guys, do not sleep on reading Poison Ivy by G. Willow Wilson. This series is everything, and I cannot overstate that fact. If you’re a Poison Ivy fan, this series is pure perfection, breaking down the character and building her back up from the roots.
There’s a lot going on in NYX Vol. 2, and I do mean a lot. We have personal dilemmas (Kamala’s family, Laura’s friends/romances, Anole’s hopes, Sophie’s Cuckoo history, etc), new villains, and many twists.
I sincerely think that I may be in love with DC’s Absolute Universe. It has yet to disappoint (me), and that includes Absolute Green Lantern. Absolute Green Lantern Vol. 1 is a phenomenal start to a new take on Green Lanterns and the Spectrum of Light.
The invasion arc has been going on for a hot minute, though maybe it just feels that way to me because I’ve had to wait volume by volume. Anyway, Dandadan Vol. 14 dives right back into the thick of things, and I feel like it’s all finally starting to wrap up. And yes, I am still looking forward to seeing this all play out in the anime. It’s going to look spectacular.
