https://youtu.be/LzvqI1MBMo8 Below you'll find the text-based review: The flagship title of the X-Men has dropped any pithy adjective. No more "Uncanny" for our mutant protagonists as they move away from protecting a world that fears them. That's a decidedly secondary objective now; with Jonathan Hickman's relaunch of the series, everything's changed. This first volume of... Continue Reading →

https://youtu.be/nDEhuMP-rbQ And here's the video's script: It is a talented studio that can create a seamless experience out of Citizen Sleeper's several divergent elements. On the one side, I'm faced with this absolutely adorable character art by Guillaume Singelin--dare I call it cutesy? It's lo-fi art, the kind you expect to see when you open... Continue Reading →

The blog has had to take a backseat these past couple of months but after a lovely two-week break, I feel in just the right mood to create a MASTERPLAN for The... Continue Reading →
I found Katherine Buel's A Stranger at the Hearth something of a mixed bag. It is the latest in a vein of retellings that follow in the footsteps of such luminary works of fantasy as The Song of Achilles, this one centered around the legendary figure of Sigurd from Germanic and Norse myth. The source... Continue Reading →
Previous | Next Friendships, relationships, living together--what do all these have in common? They tend to get messy, especially when you're just turning twenty. Those are the lessons our heroines are met with, come Volume 08 of Giant Days. I first read it in 2021 and promptly forgot to review it; revisiting the series again... Continue Reading →
The climax of a multiple volume-long arc can be the bane of an ongoing comic series. It can see characters unravel, the momentum grind to a pitiable slog, the worldbuilding collapse under its own weight. More than a few ongoing series with vast amounts of potential meet this fate. I recall a promising creator-driven series... Continue Reading →
