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)
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.
Love the detail of deprogramming by watching baby bunny videos. ☺️
pickReprinting early issues of the comics in two beautiful formats.
pickAbsolutely gleeful to see Aja take the reins as the illustrator for the second half of this volume (not all issues, but most). First half is the same collection as My Life as a Weapon, the rest is the next issues in this series written by Matt Fraction. 1/2
pickOkay, I totally get it. Hawkeye feels like a character who never got his due in the movies, but this gives me everything Tumblr and MCU fanfic hinted at for this character. I love the way Fraction writes Barton. I definitely prefer the way David Aja draws him (issues 1-3). I'll be honest and say I skipped the Young Avengers issue tacked onto the end - just not my vibe. Will be seeking out the collected volumes for this series from my library.
My heart! 🥰🥹
Love that he just blasts past how obvious that name would be for an avenger who uses a bow. 🏹
Oohhh, Ivan...🫣
so-soThis is a very quirky book. Gillen wanted to write something that would appeal to teenagers in 2013. There are some really funny moments, and Kid Loki is a memorable character, but I found it sort of unsatisfying. Naming the villain Mother is a bit heavy-handed.
Kieron Gillen month continues with his complete Young Avengers with art by Jamie McKelvie.
