finished reading Ms. Marvel - Volume 8 by G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel (2015), #19-24)

G. Willow Wilson, Ian Herring, Marco Failla, Diego Olortegui: Ms. Marvel - Volume 8 (GraphicNovel, 2017, Marvel) No rating

An enemy from Ms. Marvel's past resurfaces and begins targeting those closest to Kamala. As …

Ms. Marvel never disappoints. It's just a great series. G. Willow Wilson has delivered an outstanding run of stories back to back to back.

reviewed The Iliad by Homer

Homer, William Cullen Bryant: The Iliad (EBook, Standard Ebooks)

The Iliad is one of the oldest works of Western literature, dating back to classical …

John Romita, Frank Miller: Superman: Year One (Hardcover, 2019, DC Comics)

Good, but not great.

John Romita, Frank Miller: Superman: Year One (Hardcover, 2019, DC Comics)

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.
