Fables the Deluxe Edition Book Eight | Bill Willingham

pick

Okay, I LOVED that. While the Fables series continues to pull characters from fairy tales, this arc felt very much like a truly original story, and a wonderful journey for the previously overlooked protagonist. It wove seamlessly into the continuing story of the series but really took the time to tell its particular entry in a style that felt like vintage tales of knights and adventure. A new favourite in the series' collected editions.

What does it say about me that I always seem to find, Bruce Wayne's logic exhilarating...😂🤔😉.

Power Outage | Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti

Power outage at the campground last night due to the wind and the rain. Until it warms up outside or the heat comes back on in the cabin, this is where I‘ll be starting the readathon!

Nightwing Vol.1: Leaping into the Light | Tom Taylor

pick

Starting to feel like Tom Taylor is the guy you call if you need to inject some light and hope into a superhero storyline. Dick Grayson is generally more cheerful and chatty than other members of the Bat family, but I haven't explored much of Nightwing in Blüdhaven in comics and I'm glad to see a corrupt city cast in Taylor's upbeat 'things can change' framing. Bruno Redondo's art really emphasises the humour, action and heart.
1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 Storygraph insists I've read this before, (surprised I don't remember considering how much fun I had reading it this time) but that was back before I made a habit of following up with future volumes. I will definitely be doing so now! 2w

Thank you @TheSpineView for creating this play~tag~share card. 👇

AnnCrystal My mom was the least favorite of her abusive, acholic mother. She married my father, who (along with his family) was verbally abusive. Her mother (often) kept her from school, and when my dad kept her from continuing an EDU, my mom taught herself how to read, a second-language, and more. My dad's an insanely good worker (workaholic), but he also enjoys gambling and (given the chance) substance abuse. My mom manages the household...👇

AnnCrystal and since my dad hates kids (she had to plead with him to come see my brother when he was born), my mom's like a single mother. When my brother became sick, she was all alone with my brother in the hell of the hospital system. My dad was supposed to watch me, but he left me to his multiple-abusive (don't ask me about this) family members and friends while he lived a bachelors life. Through all this, I...👇

AnnCrystal watched my mom become stronger with her faith while my dad went searching. Outcast by most of her family (among their reasons, she doesn't drink, and can't handle hospitals or funerals). When my tutor gave up on teaching me to read (I'm a late reader. My brother was the genius), my mom found a way to teach me using Silent Movies. 👇 (edited) 2w

AnnCrystal While I have experienced polite racism, my mom has faced truly hateful racism (some I've even witness).

I could go on. My mom is like Bruce Wayne, she won't allow evils & difficult times to taint her character.

2nd ? - (most recent) Buffy Sainte-Marie. This is cheating, because I haven't read about her, only watched a bio...she makes a good role-model. A modern day warrior-heroine.

A hero from fiction? Tagged. I know, huge surprise 😉.
