Barbarius reviewed Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood by Benjamin Percy
A collection of shorts.
3 stars
This is a collection of twelve short stories over four issues. Some are good, some are average; none are bad, but also none are great.

It was fine... Not as good as the other two I recently read.
Excellent.

This is a great "first Moon Knight" comic for anyone who knows the basics of MK, but essentially wants an origin story.
Barbarius finished reading Moon Knight by Lemire & Smallwood: Volume 1 by Jeff Lemire
Excellent! Very well written and illustrated. The changing illustrators for the different personalities was a great stylistic touch.

Barbarius reviewed Superman: Year One by John Romita
Good, but not great.
3 stars
It was good, but not great. Superman in Smallville, in Atlantis, and in Metropolis; and the girls he falls in love with in each place. Also, they make Batman out to be far less intelligent than what he actually is.

I would have thought "Superman For All Seasons" would be the equivalent of Superman year one, but I'm intrigued to see Frank Miller's take on it all.

Content warning Minor character backgrounds - the backgrounds are minor, the characters are pretty major...
I just got to the flashback where Kamala meets Bruno in second grade, and he smells because he hasn't had a bath because he was just removed from his mother, and then Kamala's parents insist on paying his fees because they find out his grandparents are struggling to make ends meet with suddenly having two young grandkids to raise, and now I'm a wreck thankyouverymuch! 😭

I started reading this series when it first came out. I loved it then and I love it now, after all the TV series and movies as well. She is such a great character and her stories are so good.
If your looking for a good hero comic series to read, I would strongly encourage you to consider Ms. Marvel.
