  • Reading Log 2024

    1, 212 books! Or 1, 213. I forgot if added The Making of Gone with the Wind to my count as the last book of the year, and I’m too tired to recount everything again. Still, you read that right. Over a 1,000 books in one year. If you don’t believe look down below at…

    Storm: Dawn of a Goddess by Tiffany D. Jackson Storm is my favorite Marvel superheroine. In fact she may have been the first Marvel superhero I was exposed to.

  • Book Highlight: Black Widow Duology

    The Black Widow duology came out back in 2016 which I believe was the original timeline for the Black Widow movie premiere. But of course it got pushed back until 2019 so these books brought the hype very early and you can see some evidence of their movie inspiration in the pages. As one can…

  • Top 5 Superhero Comics

    Young Justice by Greg Weisman I’ll admit, I am totally and completely biased here when I say YJ is my number one. I love the tv show and the tie-in comics are perfect. . well tie ins. They feel like they could be an episode it has just as much action, intrigue and character exploration.…
