Comic & Manga Reviews
You know how the story goes. A high school girl wakes up to a new life – quite literally, for she's been reborn as Catarina Claes, a villainess and spoiled daughter of a duke. In other words, a big pain in the butt.
Fans of the gen:LOCK TV series will be thrilled to discover that our beloved characters are continuing their quest in comic form. No, it's not quite the same thing. But gen:LOCK #2 is just as action-packed as we could have ever hoped for, and that almost makes up for it.
In the world of My Hero Academia, approximately eighty percent of the population (and growing) have been born with quirks – unique superpowers. Midoriya is part of the twenty percent group – born without a quirk. He never let that destroy his dreams of becoming a hero, and look at him now!
The Scarlet Witch, aka Wanda Maximoff, has put herself between Darcy Lewis and Scythia. One is oath-bound to hunt and kill the other, which means we're on the precipice of yet another battle for the Scarlet Witch.
Gen:LOCK was Rooster Teeth's latest hit animated series, and as such, fans have been dying for more. While the second season is still a bit off, at least there is a new comic series to hold us over in the meantime. And thus, I fangirled all over the place with the release of gen:LOCK #1.
Captain Marvel Vol. 9 contains a single-issue plot and the beginning of a new plot arc; Revenge of the Brood.
The last we saw, our prince, Maxim Maresh, had earned the trust and loyalty of his soldiers by taking (and surviving) a dangerous series of tests. If only this was the solution to all his problems. Unfortunately, Maxim still has to prove himself to his father – and deal with an even graver threat on the horizon.
In a world where witches, minions, and tainted souls exist, there must also be those that stand against them. These people are known as Weapon Meisters and their Weapons. They are charged with devouring tainted souls and protecting the world.
The time has finally come. It's time to learn why Darcy Lewis ran away, winding up as The Scarlet Witch's shopkeeper. Sure, that sounds like a fun (if dangerous) job, but that can't be the real reason why Darcy is here. As it turns out – there's a hunt happening, with Darcy as the prey.
It's hard to believe that the time has finally come, but Giant Days is at an end as of this week. Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1 is the final issue in the series, giving us a fond farewell to the characters we've spent years growing to know and love.
