• Superduck Review

  Tieri and Flynn bring Superduck to the 21st century as part of Archie Comics’ general reboot of all its properties and what a reboot it was! The original Superduck harbors a lot of similarities to Donald Duck being hotheaded avians with hen-pecking girlfriends and mischievous nephews. However, Superduck gains his powers from biting super vitamins…

• Dork Diaries ReRerad

  I’ve been rereading the Dork Diaries since I remembered stopping over #10 because I think I grew out of it. But I also think it changed somewhat. It felt too hard trying to be hip with hashtags and such but that might just me being an old old person. Again, I guess I grew out…

• DC Round-up

  Starfire Vol. 1-2 by Amanda Conner These two volumes starring everyone’s favorite Tamarian has the sun-kissed alien living in the tropical paradise of Florida as a way to distance herself from the drama of her relationship with Dick Grayson (who may or may not be dead?) and just general superheroing. Not that she doesn’t do…

• Do you ever wonder?

  Do you ever wonder what happens to authors who somewhat drop off the Earth? For example, Fiona Dunbar who wrote the Lulu Baker series and several other children’s books pretty much finished output 12 years ago. While she’s still active enough on twitter so people know she’s alive, I still wonder about other authors. Like…

• Thoughts on new American Girl cover

  So American Girl is releasing a new historical girl from the 1920s! Woo, I love that mainly because I love the 20s so it’ll be good for kids to have a new, admittedly more entertaining way to learn about the Harlem Renissance rather than just school books and lectures. However, I do have one cavet…

  Popular by Maya Van Wagenen I read this memoir a long time ago for a project in middle school so it was nice to revisit it again. This memoir details Maya’s journey to finding popularity by utilizing a How to be Popular Guide from the 50s by then teen model Betty Cornell (who writes the…

• Pretty Little Liars: Killer Review

  The girls are playing a dangerous game but at least it seems like they are getting closer to the real killer(s). Buuuut we’re only halfway through the arc so who knows how they misinterpreted A’s cryptic clues this time. At least New A is having her fun destroying the girls’ personal lives because they’re too…
