Read 3 of my #ReadYourEbooks picks for February. Even if my Ms. Marvel book slot for March isn‘t selected, I suspect I‘ll be continuing with her journey.

Loved Ms. Marvel, issues 1-5

I think editor Sana Ananat wrote it best when describing this comic and its readers:

“–it was clear that you guys got it. By now you should have realized that this book isn‘t a marketing ploy, nor does it come with political agendas. It‘s just a story about a young girl maneuvering her way to adulthood, who also happens to reflect the changing face of America.”

👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼

My #roll100 picks for March are all set! I didn‘t get around to any of my February picks, but I read two of my January picks, which I think counts 😆 as always, thanks @PuddleJumper for helping me work my way through my Libby and Hoopla to-read lists.

HA!! I knew he was still alive!! After the Crisis Event, Ollie changed his name and moved from Star City to Los Angeles, where he joined a prestigious law firm to continue his fight for justice! It's almost time for Suits: LA (aka The Further Adventures of Oliver Queen) to begin.

Mr. Chance acts as a decoy target for the wealthy. While standing in for Lex Luthor, he is poisoned. With only 12 days to live, he must solve his own murder. This story is well written as an adult thriller, with astounding color schemes (so evocative of the ‘60‘s mod movement). The only downside is that this is part one of a two-part story. So far, I‘m hooked and can‘t wait to read the rest!

The first part of the two-part Dark Moon Rising series, which are expanded and modernized versions of early Batman.

Batman has his first encounter with Hugo Strange, who is doing weird genetic experiments that end up going wrong, and he ends up with giant, brain-dead cannibals that he uses to kill the gangsters he‘s borrowed money from to get them off his back.

I think it's a good story but the finished book is very poor.

I was disappointed.

19/100 Green Arrow has always been one of my favorite superheroes, much more interesting than Marvel's Hawkeye. Green Arrow's origin story was pretty much the same, but updated and streamline. Queen was still the reckless, alcoholic playboy, he still ended up on the desert island with the drug runners, it's just more gritty and violent than earlier versions of his origin. 3.75/5

Finished this Metal Earth AT-ST model while listening to the Batman Returns novelization. Pretty disappointing. The narrator was all over the place with his voices, Max Shreck being particularly rough. There was a lot more misogyny from the Penguin in this adaptation, which was weird. Stick with the movie.

We meet a new Green Lantern, Sojourner Mullein, in the furthest reaches of space, assigned to a city with a population-wide ‘emotion suppressant‘ in place. No violent crime has occurred here in hundreds of years, until now. What starts as a murder mystery, slowly expands into an exploration of what it means to keep the peace in a multi-species society rebelling against the status quo. A fantastic story with a great new character. Recommended!

Fun story. The characters felt pretty flat and, well, cartoonish—especially the villain. I thought everything came too easily to the main character. The idea of body paints that confer superpowers is very cool.

The art is incredibly fluid and vibrant. I felt like I was watching a really well-animated movie (Lilo and Stitch came to mind) instead of reading a book at times!

TieDyeDude Good review! I think this character has a lot of potential, but it was definitely geared towards a young audience and focused more on the fun of becoming a hero than the challenges. 3w
Ellie_H Yay!!😁 I am so happy you liked some parts of the book!! (edited) 3w
