Comic & Manga Reviews
Can you believe it!?! The Runaways have finally (finally!) been rebooted. While many of our precious Runaway characters have appeared in other series since, this is the first time since the end of the series that we’ve seen them all in one place again, and I am so excited!
The West Coast Avengers is a newly formed team, using an older name from the world of Marvel. The team itself is…unexpected, but actually ends up being a lot of fun. The team consists of Kate Bishop (AKA Hawkeye, also the team leader), Clint Barton (AKA Hawkeye), Gwenpool, America Chavez, Quentin Quire (AKA Kid Omega), and Johnny Watts (AKA Fuse).
Jessica Jones: Alias Vol. 1 is one of the most groundbreaking series out there, involving the one and only Jessica Jones. Not to be confused with Jessica Drew, another detective of the Marvel universe. This is where Jess' series really ramped up, and made her story famous (or is it infamous?).
The Vision is often hailed as a must-read for Marvel Comics. While I know the highlights of the series, I’ve never actually sat down to read the whole thing from beginning to end. I’m here to right that wrong, starting with The Vision Vol. 1.
I still have so many questions about what is going on in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider, so I was excited to get back into this series. Also, I adore Gwen, so I’m happy that she landed another solo series.
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.
