Comic & Manga Reviews
Ah, yes, I missed the chaos of this series. Dandadan Vol. 10 continues a familiar story but throws many new twists in the mix. Starting with Vamola (introduced in the last volume, I believe), plus a new supernatural problem, courtesy of a curse and a mirror.
This week, I finally caved in and started reading through Darth Vader (courtesy of Marvel Unlimited, which is the biggest supporter of comic binge-reading). So I'm a little behind on the times, but I'm really glad I'm finally getting around to reading it because it has been fantastic! No additional reading is needed to understand what's happening here, as all the context is provided within the first couple of pages (I love it when that happens). This is especially true if you've seen all the movies (and if you haven't, you're probably not likely to want to read the comics anyway?).
DC continues creating graphic novels with a younger focus on Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed. Here, we're provided with another glimpse at an origin story for Diana, yet it's nothing like we've seen before.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read any Spider-Man (I know, shame on me), so I went ahead and grabbed some of the recent highlights to binge. One is The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 by Zeb Wells.
It's safe to say it, but the West Coast Avengers is ending early. Thankfully, the creative team involved knew that it was coming, so they were able to complete the current arc and give us a chance to say goodbye.
I have a lot of complicated feelings about Captain Marvel Vol. 2. I didn't hate it, but I also feel like I could have loved it more. This is a strange place for me to be in, as I'm pretty much a huge Captain Marvel fangirl.
If you've been following Wasted Space, you're already aware of how good this series is at toying with your emotions. The twists and turns make it hard to predict or anticipate, and that's part of what makes this series so interesting.
Oh wow, I Hate Fairyland is such an amazing series. I’ve really been missing out these past few years! I Hate Fairyland Vol. 2 is as funny as the first, though in different ways. The first volume was all about Gert’s attempt to get out of fairyland, whereas the second volume…well, her adventure has changed.
After a bit of a break, the creative team behind Wasted Space is ready to give us the latest installment in the series. Wasted Space #11 starts a whole note plot arc for Billy and his band of misfits. But if we know anything about this crew – whatever adventure they get into next will be chaotic.
Once again, I’m late to the show. Greg Pak’s run on Darth Vader started over a year ago, but I’m just now getting around to it. The Handmaidens are some of my Star Wars characters, so I’ve been hearing the hype and hoping it lives up to my dreams.
