If you are writing, you have your own characters, if you are reading or watching something, you have other people's characters.

This is the best of the “From the Ashes” books I’ve read so far. It works well as a study on Kate Pryde and where she is now, but it’s also going backwards. Kate stopped going by Kitty in the Marauders series, but now wants to go by Kitty again. But ...more

This should have been 4 issues. Too much time is spent on the Atlantis/US conflict and nothing really came of it yet. The story of the refugees was far more interesting, and could have been developed more before Superman flies off to Warworld. The pa ...more

The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1 by Gail Simone

3.5 stars. The series flows well, but the main villain’s story was a bit forced. Like we needed another character wanting to take revenge on Xavier. But it was a solid story. I’m still not feeling the post-Krakoa era but I’ll try a few more books.

Wow. I’ve read a lot of Tom King now, and his writing is just magnificent. I don’t know if this or Mister Miracle is my favorite. The story is just incredible, Gabriel Hernandez Walta’s art brings it to life perfectly.

This one definitely had more momentum than the first book, but also took some weird detours that didn’t advance the plot too much. I forgot a lot from when I first read it in high school, but I remember liking these books and finding that I still do.

Though the pacing was a little off, this was a good end to the trilogy. I love the way the series played with stories and legacy, and how time can take hold of and alter a story.

Mostly I just want to say “awwwwwww.”
This is a lovely story and a great addition in DC’s Pride line. It could go a long way in helping teens both with their identities, or help teens understand others’ identities.

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”

“There will come a day, I promise you, when the thought of your son, or daughter, or your wife or your husband, brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye. It will happen. My prayer for you is that day will come sooner than later.”
