I think the best way to dive into Marvel and DC is to get their subscription services, DC Infinite and Marvel Unlimited. Then you can read whatever interests you and you get access to..."

I love Hoopla. I just wish I could borrow more than 4 a month. I’ll check out the Marvel and DC subscriptions though I’ll probably alternate between the two.

This month I’ve already read:
- Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening & Monstress, Vol. 2: The Blood: I wasn’t sure about it after the first volume but now that it’s picking up speed I’m enjoying just a little bit more. I’m still not a fan of the main character but I love her companions.

- Shepherdess Warriors, Vol. 1: It was cute and a little bit dark. Overall fine for me but I wish there was more even pacing.

- Haru: Book 1: Spring: It was okay. Very cute art. I’m not sure if I’ll continue.

- Kodi: An adorable, light read.

- Always Never: The art in this is gorgeous. There some problematic stuff that it kind of brushes off but I enjoyed the backwards in time storytelling.

- Brindille: It felt too disjointed for me. It was like I was missing huge parts of the story.

- Blacksad: Out of the 3 stories I enjoyed the first mystery the most. It started to lose me a little bit more with each one but I’d like to read more of this series.

- Issunboshi: A Graphic Novel: There was a lot I loved with this one. The one thing I wish is we just had a bit more time with the characters to get to know them and let them develop.

- Marvel's Secret Reverse: I read this purely because I was interested in what the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh would do with the Marvel property. It was about what I expected. I found it to be a nice, fun onetime read.

To finish off this month I’ll be reading

Mouse Guard: Fall 1152
Monstress, Vol. 3: Haven
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Survival Street

Hello! My name is Kim and I’m from the New England area. I read all types of comics but some of my favorites are:

- Once & Future, Vol. 1: The King is Undead
- Saga, Volume 1 (Though I’m not very far)
- Godzilla vs. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Justice League / Power Rangers
- Unnatural, Vol. 1: Awakening
- Unfamiliar, Vol. 1

I used to collect individual issues but now I wait for the trades or something to become available at the library. I’d like to get more into Marvel/DC but I’m more interested in their contained stories than their long ongoing ones.
