Comic & Manga Reviews
I am so happy that they picked up Spider-Gwen’s story again! I love this character and the wild things they tend to put her through. Here’s hoping this series will be no exception! Enter Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider Vol. 1.
The world of mutants is still rocky at best, following the fall of Krakoa. That brings us to X-Men Vol. 2, which still portrays one of several teams trying to make things work, possibly against all odds?
X-Men: Raid on Graymalkin is part of the larger From the Ashes relaunch, making it the first (I think) crossover event of this new X-Men era. It pits the X-Men against the Uncanny X-Men, with a few extra twists, because apparently, there wasn’t enough going on.
Jeff! Seriously, Jeff may be my all-time favorite Marvel character, and that’s saying something. He’s so cute and funny. Jeff the Land Shark appeared alongside another one of my favorite characters (Gwenpool, she doesn’t get the same hype), and I’ve been following his story ever since.
I hate how far behind I am in reading the Krakoan era, but hey! At least I’m finally getting through it, and I’m likewise enjoying many of the twists and turns that have taken place thus far. I know it won’t last, but nothing good ever does in the comic book world.
Full disclosure: This isn’t my first time reading Black Widow Vol. 1. However, I loved the story and realized I never reviewed it, so here I am! I was happy to give this a second readthrough, and will hopefully do it for the rest of the series as 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.
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?
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.
NYX is one of six series that launched Marvel’s From the Ashes event, and it took a lot of risks. The story is set in the city, taking a tighter focus on what’s happening in mutant lives after the fall of Krakoa.
