Welcome to Litsy!

71/150 A rather lackluster and disappointing finale to the Spider-Man trilogy. I knew I was in trouble when I saw the pages left and know the story was going to get resolved in the last 20 pages. The ending was too hasty, the heroes got lucky finding just the right clues, and Doc Ock's plan, that he'd been meticulously working on for months, fell apart quickly. While the superhero part was kind of meh, the author did a great job...⬇️⬇️

68/150 The second book of the Spider-Man trilogy. Peter is in Florida to cover the Space Shuttle launch, and as Spider-Man search for his friend Curt Connors aka the Lizard. Terrorist plot to blow up the Shuttle, and of course Venom comes to make things more difficult. Not a bad story, but the Lizard is barely in it, so I don't get the book title. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

62/150 Except for the fact I wanted more Venom in the story, his name is in the title after all, this is an enjoyable if a bit average comic book adventure. Spider-Man has to battle the Hobgoblin, while searching for a monster running around the sewers that may or may not be Venom. I like Duane's writing style, she captured the Peter/MJ romance perfectly, and her action scenes had that comic book feel without the visuals. Continued ⬇️⬇️⬇️

First it was The Constant Rabbit, and now here I find another reference to The Court Jester. I think it's the Universe's way of telling me it's time to rewatch this classic movie. #TheCourtJester #DannyKaye

It was very cold three hundred feet down, very dark; but not very quiet.

It‘s X-DAY, baby!

Book: the entirety of X-Men, with the caveat that some bits are decidedly Not Good and also Peter David‘s 2005 run on X-FACTOR is the best. Really. I‘ve read literally 95% of X-Men. I‘m qualified to make this call.

Author: I‘ve enjoyed work by both Xinran and Xue Yiwei.

Movie: X-Men: Days of Future Past. Is it perfect? No. Does it do fun stuff with canon? HELL YEAH!

Musician: I got nothin

Song: ditto

I was on the radio this week talking about my ongoing battle with squirrels and pumpkins. We won‘t even get started on the pollinator gardens they have destroyed. I spray my pumpkins with hairspray to deter them. The freaking squirrel lovers come at me all on platforms. Let. Me. Have. My. Pumpkins. They have sucked the joy out of everything else

This one is a little bittersweet for me. It is the last of the Squirrel Girl comics from this author. It wrapped up nicely, but it's still sad to see it go. This one was really good, obviously it would be since it was the last one. I do know Squirrel Girl has 2 novels and appears in other things, but it won't be the same. I will still read the novels, hopefully they will capture the same spirit of the comics.
