So, I read Star: Birth of a Dragonas when it came out in issue format. Apparently, I forgot to come back around and review the full volume! Forgive my delay. (Side note: you can read my individual issue reviews on Monkeys Fighting Robots.)
Review: Captain Marvel: Dark Tempest
Life hasn't been too easy on Carol lately. Just when she could really use a break, she finds herself thrown into a new adventure – literally. One moment, she was talking to a group of teenage troublemakers; the next, she was on a strange planet.
Flashback Fridays: House of X/Powers of X
Mutants have gone through hell and back over the years. They've had their wins. But for every win, they've had many more losses. Or so how it feels. Well, that time of loss and pain is over, as Charles Xavier has a new plan.

Review: Arca
It's been a minute since I dove into a retro science fiction tale, and Arca seemed like the obvious choice. It blends one of my favorite genres with my love of graphic novels. I mean, what more could a girl ask for?
Review: Young Avengers, Vol. 1: Style > Substance
Okay, okay, I've been meaning to read Young Avengers for WAY too long. I'm finally fixing that mistake by diving into Young Avengers Vol. 1. Thus far; I can already tell that the series is worth the hype (and the accidentally long wait).
Review: Dr. Strange, Surgeon Supreme: Under the Knife
Over the years, I've read countless comic series that have played around (or straight-up ret-conned) with a character's history or ability. I think Dr. Strange, Surgeon Supreme is perhaps one of the more drastic changes I've seen while sitting firmly within the core theme of the character.
Review: Scarlet Witch Vol. 1: The Last Door
Wow. Scarlet Witch Vol. 1 is a roller coaster; I can tell you that much! A couple of distinct arcs occur within this volume besides the obvious setting up shop concept. It made for an action-packed and fascinating volume.
Review: Captain Marvel Vol. 10: Revenge of the Brood Part 2
Whew. I won't lie: Captain Marvel Vol. 10 is an intense read. In truth, the entire Revenge of the Brood arc has been one heavy-hitting moment to the next. Kelly Thompson has always been good about that – creating an emotional arc that ties back to Carol's past.
Review: She-Hulk Vol. 2: Jen of Hearts
Somebody is always out there with a bone to pick with a Hulk. Pick a Hulk, any Hulk, and somebody is gunning for their abilities/strength/etc. Unfortunately, that means Jen's life gets messed up from time to time.
