Jeff Lemire may be more regulated writing DC property, but his writing skill set still speaks volumes. He understands the medium being a powerful cartoonist and his reading interests are so wide that it bleeds into his ability to tell a story. When I was feeling I was losing faith in Superboy, Jeff Lemire remind me why I like his writing style. It does seem choppy at first, but it is only because it takes us a full read to understand the juxtaposition of then and now in the first place. This device seems to be Jeff Lemire's take on what Alan Moore was doing with The Man Who Has Everything. I remember a lot of other reviewers not being a fan of it, but I think it works with the effect of the "Red Mercy" plant. The narrative of "Then" and "Now" that were say in issue three has returned. I don't know if this issue was inspired by Alan Moore's great tale: "The Man Who Has Everything", but Lemire shows us no Black Mercy, but writes with "Red" passion. No longer held back by the bright colors and the superficial Superhero stories, Lemire can explore ideas that get to the root of Superboy. They go forward to the 31st Century where the Legion of Super-Heroes (Pre-Zero Hour)The Legion of Sup Adventure Comics 516 is an issue of the series Adventure Comics (Volume 1) with a cover date of September, 2010. Issue #6 marked Marco Rudy as the interior artist for Superboy and issue #7 continues the visual synergy that Lemire and Rudy have on this series. 'Legion of Super-Heroes: 'Brande Speaks'': Brainiac 5 travels back to the 20th Century in a Time Bubble and picks up Superboy. Have "Mercy" on our souls, Jeff Lemire finally can place a darker-edge on Superboy.

When the Rabbi asks Mitch to write his eulogy, he dreads it, and feels ill equipped to be the giver of such an important speech about a man who made a difference in the lives of so many. We do not find out that much about Mitch that we didn't already know - he's a sportswriter, he was raised Jewish - but we do find out something regarding his view of religion Mitch, a Jew, has "lapsed" since his childhood and it seems that even as a child he was a reluctant participant and made to attend religious school by his parents, not by his own spiritual need. Mitch is the narrator of the book, and is more of a conduit for the two main characters' stories rather than a character in the novel in himself.

Summary: An accessible, concise but brimming with detail and anecdote book showing how human bodies carry an inheritance that goes to the very beginning of life on Earth and demonstrating the fundamental unity of all living organisms. Any business leader will find worthy guidance in this exhortation to persist through “the Struggle.” We recommend Horowitz’s part autobiography, part tip sheet to anyone building a company. Horowitz is a first-rate storyteller and a refreshingly irreverent teacher who uses allusions ranging from Jay Z to Clint Eastwood to Dr. He argues that no formula can promise entrepreneurial success.
First, she explores YouTube and movies with Queens of Geek, then, music and bands with The Brightsiders, and now, television and YouTube once more with Going Off Script. Wilde has this tendency of including these very media-centric themes in her work, and I just love that. It is well-written, intriguing, and a very quick read (in the best way possible). Jen Wilde is one of my favorite authors of all-time, and she continues to wow me with every novel she releases, and Going Off Script is no exception.įirst of all, this novel is just a damn good novel. (If you're over 21, take a shot every time I say that in a review.) Y'all.I don't even where to begin with this novel. Unfortunately, though Bex is exploring first love and in the land of dreams, she has to learn to navigate the politics of this industry and deal with straight-washing from cis straight white men in power. Along the way, she happens to meet a fellow lesbian in the industry, Shrupty Padwal, and sparks just happen to fly. Going Off Script by Jen Wilde is a young-adult contemporary novel that follows the story of Bex Phillips, a lesbian 18-year-old who travels down to LA after she is given an internship on her favorite TV show, Silver Falls, where she hopes to catch a glimpse of her dream world where wants to be a writer. "Sometimes you need to fight to be heard, especially when you're the only woman in a room full of men." I loved how that was weaved in with the rest of the plot. There’s violence and there’s sex… Lots of sex. The first thing that comes to mind is: the parts that are good, are good, but there’s this one scene…įirst off, in case you didn’t get that from the blurb and my warning: Captive is a book for a mature audience. Although he’s desperate for freedom, he is unable to deny the burning desire drawing him to the incubus general he now calls Master. Forced into the middle of a war between vampires and incubi, Matthew is used as a weapon against his own kind. Unable to stop the vampire inside from preying on humans, he keeps himself confined to a lonely existence.Įverything changes the night he is lured into a trap and taken prisoner by High Lord General Tarrick–a seductive incubus who feeds off sexual energy. Matthew Callahan has spent seven years struggling against the insatiable hunger for blood consuming him. Genres: Fantasy, LGBT Literature, vampires, incubis, war Captive – Volume One of Beautiful Monsters While I enjoy history, I didn't exactly enjoy the manner in which the author recited the lore. The first half of the book is an examination of the city's entire history, the second half gets more into the weird stuff. One half thinks they are disgracing the legacy of the victims of the witch trials, while the other half thinks that they are honoring them. One where half the residents want to be known for arts and culture and the other half is proud of all the Halloween fun. It was interesting to find out that Salem only really began putting an emphasis on Halloween a few decades ago. Now, this isn't the book to pick up if you're looking to learn about the Witch Trials like myself, but it is the one to pick up if you've been wondering just how weird Salem gets around Halloween. We all know the basic outlines of the Witch Trials but this book just proved to myself that I don't know enough. The allure of Salem, Massachusetts is a large one if you're someone who revels in Halloween and/or history. But neither of them expected the deep connection they felt, or how that connection could grow so fast from friendship into something more. He lets her crash with him for a few days to dry out and get her head on straight. Jonah sees that Kacey is on a path to self-destruction. His plans include seeing the opening of his glass installation at a prestigious art gallery…they do not include falling in love with a wild, tempestuous rock musician who wound up passed out on his couch. He knows his situation is hopeless, and he's vowed to make the most of the handful of months he has left to him. She wakes up with the hangover from hell and no memory of the night before, or how she ended up on her limo driver’s couch. A wrecked concert in Las Vegas threatens to ruin her career entirely. But she is torn between wanting to be a serious musician, and the demons that lure her down the glittering, but alcohol-soaked path of rock stardom. And now, as lead guitarist for a hot up-and-coming band, she is poised at the brink of fame and fortune. Kacey Dawson has always lived life on the edge-impulsively, sometimes recklessly. For the Greek myths, Bulfinch drew on Ovid and Virgil, and for the sagas of the north, from Mallet's Northern Antiquities. The stories are divided into three sections: The Age of Fable or Stories of Gods and Heroes (first published in 1855) The Age of Chivalry (1858), which contains King Arthur and His Knights, The Mabinogeon, and The Knights of English History and The Legends of Charlemagne or The Romance of the Middle Ages (1863). A series of private notes to himself grew into one of the single most useful and concise guides to literature and mythology. The forerunner of such interpreters as Edith Hamilton and Robert Graves, Thomas Bulfinch wanted to make these stories available to the general reader. For almost a century and a half, Bulfinch's Mythology has been the text by which the great tales of the gods and goddesses, Greek and Roman antiquity, Scandinavian, Celtic, and Oriental fables and myths, and the age of chivalry have been known. |
