Comic & Manga Reviews
Whew. After that cliffhanger ending, I was biting my nails while waiting for Spy x Family Vol. 13! It was a rough wait, but it was pretty worth it. This volume quickly wraps up all that tension before throwing readers into a few slice-of-life style chapters, which is a refreshing break from all the rushing around.
Whew. I did not expect some of what happened in Solo Leveling Vol. 11. I know we’re getting pretty close to wrapping up, so sudden stake shifts and twists shouldn’t be surprising, yet here we are.
At this point, I think I’m fully caught up in what I had read from the Krakoan era (yeah, I hadn’t gotten far before I got distracted, and I hate that). I’m happy to be making new progress with this story and am eagerly awaiting a few anticipated reveals and twists.
So, there’s a lot to process thanks to Solo Leveling Vol. 10. It throws Jinwoo (and thus, readers) into the deep end of politics, and unfortunately for him, there doesn’t seem to be a politics stat he can beef up.
So, I typically try to avoid overtly religious tales because I don’t like getting certain themes or points shoved in my face. That said, I love John Allison, so I wanted to give Steeple a try. Side note: I read this series when it first released, in single-issue format. But I wanted to re-read it and make sure I didn’t miss any surprises or endings (I didn’t, I just want more).
Cat's Favorite Series: Witch Hat Atelier
Every time I dive back into this series, I’m reminded of why I love it. My Next Life as a Villainess is such a silly and lighthearted series. Even while Katarina is dodging Doom Flags, it never feels like the world is actually going to fall apart.
So, I’m behind on the times here. I watched the Netflix adaptation of I Am Not Okay with This and was SO MAD when they cancelled it. I wanted to know where that cliffhanger ending was going to take us.
As an anthology, Dawn of X Vol. 1 collects six issues, ranging across different series. Naturally, this means that while there’s (probably) something for everyone, not all of it is going to hit. I can already tell there will be subplots I love, and some subplots I’ll be happy to get through.
Before I dive into my review, I just want to say that I had previously read through most of the Hugo Strange arc when the comics were first released. So most of Harley Quinn Vol. 2 isn’t new to me, and honestly, I’m tired of the Hugo arc.
