Okay, so there was a lot that drew me to this series. First, the dystopian vibes intertwined with a fantasy setting. Second, the author! I love G. Willow Wilson (famous for Ms. Marvel), so I had pretty high hopes for her new fantasy series.
Yikes. Things are heating up (sorry, I couldn't resist). Fire Force Vol. 6 finds a way to up the ante in an already lethal situation. In truth, a lot of this volume felt like it was setting up for something even bigger, which is frankly terrifying.
Unsurprisingly, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is just as good as the first volume! It's funny, strange, and the perfect combination of elements. This is my first time reading the series, and I am having so much fun!
After a brief break, the chaotic crew, the Rat Queens, are back! Rat Queens #22 comes bearing a new plot arc and a new creative team. Moritat and Casey Silver have stepped up to provide the artwork for this latest adventure.
Guys, do not sleep on this series! It's absolutely fantastic! I went into The Glass Scientists expecting a fun but overall light read – and I was blown away by what I got. The Glass Scientists is quirky, quick-witted, and overwhelmingly charming. It swept me off my feet and left me wishing there was more (why yes, I am counting down the days to volume two, thank you for asking).
And so the saga continues! Honestly, I'm shocked at how quickly the story is moving. It doesn't feel like I just read volume five of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. It feels more like I've been reading it for at least ten volumes – and I mean that in a good way.
Kate Kane (Batwoman) is one of my favorites of the Bat characters. So, obviously, I love reading her series. I think this is my second or third time reading through it all – but it's been a bit, so now it seems right. Plus, I apparently never reviewed them, so there's that.
After a short break, the Rat Queens are back and better than ever. Rat Queens #21 brings back the dynamic ladies we love. And that means they're about to get into even more trouble, as is their way of life.
Oh! I don't know why, but I was not expecting the ice age to be where Earthdivers went next. I suppose it makes sense, but I needed to read the whole of Earthdivers Vol. 2 for it to really hit home.
Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 6 was a delight and a half to read. Seeing the underwater Great Hall for the witches was terrific! I wouldn't have guessed this one - though, in hindsight, I suppose it makes sense? Likewise, I enjoyed seeing a bit more of the magical society.
