Earth X [New Printing 3] | Alex Ross, Jim Krueger

A mysterious event turns the Earth‘s population into super-humans. Interesting premise, utterly destroyed by terrible framing. The entire book is a dialogue between a Watcher and his apprentice. The complete opposite of the maxim ‘show, don‘t tell‘. The action is stunted and clipped. There are pages of dull text between chapters. The medium is comics. If the author wanted to write a novel, he could have done that instead. Avoid at all costs.

This volume is back with the action adventure I was hoping for.

Nothing against Anya but sometimes she takes away from the original plot but anyways this volume was more of Loid being his operative self and hunting down a mole in their midst.

All in all this was a good volume and thanks to that illegal cliffhanger, I'm off to find the next volume at the library.

I have heard a lot of chatter about this book in the last few months. Local indie bookstores never had a copy. I wasn‘t going to read the graphic novel adaptation first, but I couldn‘t resist. I wasn‘t prepared for how devastating, dark, and violent the story would be. I can only imagine what the actual book will be like. There is a small bit of hope in the end of the story. Themes: end stage capitalism, billionaires, climate change. 🌎🔥

Eggbeater Octavia Butler is prophetic. She nails the megalomanic down to the slogan. 1d
AmyG I‘ll be reading that in October for Author-a-month. Looking forward to it. 1d
TheBookHippie Oh it‘s so so scary to read it currently-I thought the graphic novel was well done. I read it when it came out and reread it this summer 🫣 24h
TheBookHippie @AmyG you‘ll like it a lot I think. It‘s required reading here for seniors. 24h

This was really cute. Two young travelers are visiting Japan, and end up with a camera they are told is very special: it can photograph yokai that are invisible to human eyes. So the journey begins!
This book is a reminder of how wonderful Japan is, how fascinating the culture is. I hope to travel there one day! 🇯🇵

“You lost?” the man asked. He had a zillion wrinkles, and he was wearing a hat that would suit an old-fashioned detective. He perched on a stool beside the stairs out of the subway station, ready to launch into a guitar solo.

I'm enjoying the series so far. In this book, Bina and her best friend want to start a band. They find a drummer. Her friend falls in love with the drummer and things go wrong really quick now that Bina is a third wheel... Also her neighbor who has been friends with her forever is in love with her but she doesn't feel the same way. Really great graphics and a wonderful story.
