Wow, there’s a lot one could say about this volume! Dandadan Vol. 11 is full of action, character development, and more. It starts right in the middle of a battle, with Momo fighting for her life alongside an unlikely group of allies.
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.

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.
Ah, yes, I missed the chaos of this series. Dandadan Vol. 10 continues a familiar story but throws many new twists in the mix. Starting with Vamola (introduced in the last volume, I believe), plus a new supernatural problem, courtesy of a curse and a mirror.
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?).
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.

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.
Oh wow, I Hate Fairyland is such an amazing series. I’ve really been missing out these past few years! I Hate Fairyland Vol. 2 is as funny as the first, though in different ways. The first volume was all about Gert’s attempt to get out of fairyland, whereas the second volume…well, her adventure has changed.
