My Hero Academia, Vol. 1 | Kohei Horikoshi
Mehso-so

In comparison to other manga series I read, this one feels more “serious” (it has fewer funny moments and the characters are competing against each other), and that was hard to get into. Also the art felt dark and hard to follow, and there weren‘t enough female characters.

50/100 The first of a series, where corporations have their own superheroes, and make contracts to protect people and property. It doesn't really work as a superhero story, but as a work place comedy, it's actually pretty funny. Andrea starts as a fish out of water, but quickly comes to be invaluable to C.U.P. I don't know if I'll listen to more of the series, but I enjoyed this one. 3.75/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

I really enjoyed this series, more so than a lot of older comics I've read recently. Batman is settling into his role in Gotham when a villain known as the Reaper starts to terrorize the city. A vigilante from the past, the Reaper's return rattles Batman, as he is a violent, murderous reflection of our dark knight. Batman has to reconcile with his own self-imposed limits while also confronting Joe Chill in a fascinating side story.

TieDyeDude Some excellent art from the legendary Todd McFarlane. Also, always a sign of a good story when Dr. Leslie Tompkins is involved, IMO. 2d
AnnCrystal Classic art 🤩🦇💫. 2d

Batman's Killing Time is an obnoxiously consistent non-linear story that could have easily been a masterpiece. I ended up DNF'ing this one around the 65% mark. Tom King is a fantastic creator. I highly recommend both The Human Target & Rorschach. There were elements of this I liked quite a bit, however the elements that did not work were too big of distractions.

As the title says the events of this are a bit like origin stories for Nite Owl/Dr Manhattan. Nite Owl is a bit of a poor man's Batman. What is interesting in this volume is how he grows as a character with his interactions with Rorschach & others. The second half of this was absolutely fantastic, easily one of the best graphic novels I have read this year. Dealing with quantum realities, pocket universes, etc. There are times where you (CONT)

vivastory have to turn the book sideways/upside down (House of Leave style-minus the pages of footnotes). This was an immensely satisfying origin story on Dr. Manhattan. 3d
RamsFan1963 I've read the Before Watchman volume with The Comedian and Rorschach, I need to get around to reading the rest of them. 2d
vivastory @RamsFan1963 If you haven't read it, Tom King:s Rorschach is fantastic 22h

RamsFan1963 @vivastory I've seen it at the library, but I haven't read it yet. Is it the original Rorschach or the replacement introduced in Doomsday Clock? 22h
vivastory @RamsFan1963 I haven't read Doomsday Clock but it's definitely not the original 22h
RamsFan1963 @vivastory I wouldn't waste my time on Doomsday Clock. It was a good idea, and could have been an interesting sequel to Watchmen, but DC blew it. There was big delays between issues, then events were happening in other DC comics that affected the plot of the miniseries. The only good thing about it was the artwork by Gary Frank. 21h

Thanks go to Panda Redd for making me aware of this one's existence. Sure it's dark, sad and gorey, but it's also a rollicking bop though classic literature, (the Little Women kick Deadpool's ass: I appreciate this) and the recognition that a) The comic book characters we know best have some powerful antecedents b) stories matter 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 c) a violent jaunt in graphic novel form doesn't necessarily do anyone any harm, as long as it's not what the entire comic book industry is reduced to. 3w

41/100 There is a killer lose in Gotham, named Midnight, who takes the heart of their victims. Working with some of Batman's most notorious foes, Joker, Scarecrow, Clayface, they wreak terror on the city. The story is kind of clunky, exposition heavy, and Midnight's true identity is pretty obvious. What saves this from a so-so rating, is the amazing artwork by Kelly Jones. Jones truly captures Batman as a creature of the night, and since this ⬇️

RamsFan1963 is more a horror comic than a superhero one, the designs of Batman, Midnight, and Gotham itself, brings the story up a notch or two. Jones reminds me a lot of Bernie Wrightson, who was a master of horror comics. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 1mo

Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Litsy is working again 👏🏼📚💝💝💝.

2- book shopping...because I had absolutely no more tbr books on my bookshelf 🤥📚👀😂😜🤣.

3- Garden 🪄🌱💝.

4- Reading Snacks 😋🍿📚💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 5- Batman...I can't seem to read/watch anything Batman right now because of the whole problem with reality being very Gotham-like...yet I found the tagged on my TBR to-buy list, and it seems more of a mystery focused on Bruce Wayne's family and not so much about chaotic Gotham City. I couldn't resist 🤞🦇💝.
