pickSquirrel Girl is by far my favorite superhero. I have to read everything with her in it. This was mostly told from Ms. Marvel's pov, but it was done in such a way that we got a good sense of all the characters. It's fun, not too serious, and highly entertaining.
Anyone else have years like this? Just me? Cool.
so-soAs with most short story collections, quality is inconsistent. Some tales are better than others, but the art is quite good across the entire book. Also, some stories end just as they are getting interesting. I would have preferred a single tale rendered in this style.
For anyone who loves or is interested in Manga: @nessavamusic has an activity that she is hosting in March. She has a lot of corresponding information on her original post (and once i figure out how to copy links i will share here. I am ridiculously challenged by links sometimes)
I only read the first couple volumes of the comics this show is based on, but I adore this cartoon. The first season is on Disney+, not sure when season 2 will make the jump to streaming, but I'm excited!
Sometimes you‘ve just gotta treat yourself to a tiny Nightcrawler.
pickI love James Buchanan Barnes and think he‘s one of the most interesting Marvel characters. The author explores Bucky‘s youth as a 16-year-old who badly wants to enlist in the Army, as US involvement in WWII is imminent, and as a young adult, after he‘s made into the Winter Soldier, struggling to remember his former self. Pretty heartbreaking! 💔

pickAs violent and silly as one might expect from Deadpool, with a bit more charm and slapstick thrown in thanks to the Hawkeyes, and of course some earnest self-flagellating because: superheroes. Short and sweet. Nominally takes place around Halloween if you're planning out seasonal reads. Side note: I really loved the art style of the front cover and collected issue covers, guess I'll be looking out for more drawn by James Harren.
