ryanreactsI thought it might be fun to jot down a few thoughts about some of the library comics I have read this weekend. I'm too lazy to list all of the artists, so I'll link to the books on Amazon to keep it simple.
X-Men (2021) Volumes One and Two - I picked this up knowing almost nothing about it other than the lineup, but it is so much fun that I am impatient for Volume Three! Cyclops & Jean are co-leaders of a team that also includes Sunfire, Polaris, Rogue, Wolverine (Laura!), and SYNCH. Yes, Synch. Everett from Generation X. I used to fucking love Generation X, and Ev has gotten a lot more powerful since then. Also, I love Polaris and she looks fan-fucking-tastic.
Captain Marvel Volume Nine, Revenge of the Brood Part 1 - Almost the end of Kelly Thompson's run as writer, but there's no time to think about how bittersweet that is, because this story is so much fun! Carol, her best friend Spider-Woman, and her mentee Hazmat team up with a few X-Men: Psylocke, Polaris, Wolverine (Laura again!), and Gambit.
These two have really made me want more good Polaris stories. Maybe I'll re-read the Leah Williams run of X-Factor sometime soon.
Wonder Woman Volume Eight, Dark Gods - As the title implies, this is fucking awesome.
Nubia & the Amazons - You know, with my library having so many comics to choose from, and everything they don't have being readily available online, it is pretty dang rare for me to borrow something from the library and think, "I want to buy my own copy of this." Well, that is what happened when I read this.
Wonder Girl: Homecoming - I am not sure if I fully understood every little facet of this story, but I don't care, I loved it anyway. Yara Flor is awesome, and I loved seeing Cassie and Artemis team up when their paths crossed because they were both tasked with finding her.
Catwoman: Lonely City - Okay, this story is amazing anyway (it's about a fifty-five-year-old Selina fucking shit up; what more do you need to know?!), but taken to a whole other level when you realize that it was written AND drawn AND lettered AND colored by Cliff Chiang.
Oh, and I can't forget The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes. I can pick up the next book tomorrow.
