I picked up Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees on an impulse. The description and cover are so incongruous (intentionally so) that I knew it was worth reading. I was not disappointed. That said, don't dive into this book without understanding that you WILL be getting a woodland version of Dexter.
Another chaotic adventure! I'll admit that parts of Dandadan Vol. 5 were a bit more tense than usual (think of Momo's first encounter with the aliens, and you'll have a close enough idea). I didn't love it, but the stakes had to be set, right?
So, I think we all saw this coming. The major War of the Realms event has hit Superior Spider-Man. And it brought a temporary team for our genius to deal with: the West Coast Avengers. Obviously, fans of the now-canceled series will likely be thrilled to see their reappearance, no matter how brief it is.
It's time for more Yakuza, ahem, I mean househusband antics! I really adore The Way of the Househusband, and thus, I was looking forward to the next volume. I know I'm reaching the end of my binge, but I'm trying to make the best of it.
Did you binge through Star Trek: Picard and find yourself wanting more? If so, then this graphic novel is probably perfect. It's not the same as getting a second season, but it'll help pass the time as we anxiously await all news.

Once again, there's so much going on in X-Men Vol. 3 that it's borderline overwhelming. Thankfully, the writing and characters are so powerful that this isn't off-putting. Additionally, it ensures a plot for everyone (how could there not be?!).
Stranger Things has been jumping on board the novel and graphic novel train lately. So far, there are two novels out (soon to be three), and now there's a second graphic novel series in progress.
After the intensity from the last volume, it's kinda nice that Fire Force Vol. 11 was a bit more relaxed and chill. Better yet – it even had a comical (and fair-is-fair moment!), so I can't complain about that.
I remember reading X-23: Innocence Lost ages ago. But recently, I've been craving a re-read of all things X-23, so here I am! But seriously, this volume hits hard. Honestly, a lot of origin stories tend to hit hard, but Laura's is especially difficult to read.
