“Nice to have you back, bats…”

OOOO SHIT FELICIA IS A B

Alright I was being a little harsh on Messina, he’s not a bad artist, but that last comic he did was a little rough. This, on the other hand, is much better.

I’m getting increasingly concerned with Messina taking over Checchetto’s position so frequently, he’s just not as good. Shame though, gives me less faith in getting in myself knowing I could be like this guy is to the big C.

I am not a fan of Messina’s artwork for this book, it’s too smooth. It’s entirely lacking of the personality that I grew to love about Checchetto’s style. At least the saving grace of the character designs still exists, but it’s just much weaker stuff. Very glad to hear this was the exception because Christ, not my thing.

Humor is very strong though.

Harry telling Peter “With great power comes great responsibility” is really interesting to me. I think he should tell MJ about all of this as soon as possible.

I love how self aware they are about the fact that readers need something worth reading again, it’s like they’re showing straight up how things should go and winking at Marvel editorial about it.

I love that!

“Or maybe I’ll give it one more day.”

I think I actually shuddered reading the words “one more day” in something Spider-Man related, gross.

“What if I told you he dresses like me?”

After both discovering the existence of this book as well as the fact it was going to be coming to a close, I decided to check it out because honestly, it really interested me. I love this else-worlds story they’re telling, Peter and MJ are phenomenal here, Ben and Jonah are such an interesting pairing, and the way it all culminates with Peter wanting to regain his destiny, it’s beautiful, and I really love it.

“Coming, sir!’ came the answer from far within, followed soon by Sam himself, wiping his mouth. He had been saying farewell to the beer-barrel in the cellar” (Tolkien, 70).

And so the journey begins (almost).

Frodo is kinda just the exposition receiver, asking questions for the audience rather than as a character on his one. Actually, the talk with Gandalf and him, interesting as it is, is basically just Gandalf saying what the audience needs to know for the story to start and Frodo just listens to everything and asks what Tolkien wanted to explain. I hope that in specific gets better.

This book has become my own ring of sorts, I know I need to sleep, but the book calls me…

Since the age of seven, this is the book I’ve been waiting on getting to, and with my finishing of The Hobbit a bit ago, it was just a matter of time before moving onto this, and I only wish I had sooner. God am I loving it. Already, though the tone is not too different, I can tell there’s something much larger going on here, and I’m very interested, even with my knowledge, to see it unfold before me. Here goes

“Then I sat down on his cement bed again. Boy, you can’t imagine how sorry I was getting that I’d stopped by to say good-by to him” (Salinger, 14).

“Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you. I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!”

“Very well!” said Bilbo very downcast, and also rather annoyed. “Come along back to your nice cells, and I will lock you all in again, and you can sit there comfortably and think of a better plan—but I don’t suppose I shall ever get hold of the keys again, even if I feel inclined to try…”

“In fact they praise him so much that Bilbo began to feel there really was something of a bold adventurer about himself after all, though he would have felt a lot bolder still, if there had been anything to eat…”
