Comic & Manga Reviews
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?!).
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.
Upfront confession: I did not read Resident Alien before the TV Series came out. It was actually the other way around. I watched (and loved) the show, so I wanted to see what the source material looked like.
Despite being a big Marvel fan girl, I have never sat down to read all of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. I know; shame on me. I'm here to fix that, I promise! I have the entire series stacked right next to me as I write this.
Once again, X-Men Vol. 2 delivers on the promises made by this new series. Hickman has brought new life to the X-Men, and I am all sorts of here for it. I know it won't last (no comic arc does, much as we'd like that to be untrue), but I will enjoy it while I binge it.
So, there are many reasons why I wanted to read X-23 Vol. 1. The two dominant reasons are this: X-23 is my favorite X-Men, and Marjorie Liu is one of my favorite authors. This is a bit of a match made in heaven for me. I'm surprised I hadn't previously read it (my comic TBR is so out of control).
X-Men Vol. 1 is another powerful addition to this famous series. I think I read at least half the single comics in this volume, if not more. But I'm happy to have read them in this compiled version, and I look forward to reading the rest.
It's always a bit surprising when a series does a time jump, no matter how short. That said, it often also leaves room for more character development and growth. So I was happy to see that happen in Scott Pilgrim Vol. 4.
It's time to dive back into this series! I had planned on reading it all before the new Netflix series dropped. Since that happened almost a month ago (at the time of writing this), I failed miserably with that goal.
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!
