I've bought some comics off and on recently.

Saga - first trade Really liked this. Good pacing, and yanked me RIGHT in. Basically, nique was like, "I'm almost done with it." then she was done. Twenty-thirty minutes later, I was like, "WHY ISN'T THERE MORE?"

I love the narrative, I love the ghost girl. I even love the silly war between whatsit and whatsit. I love that it starts with a birth and the trade ends with grandparents. I love the ridiculousness of the prophecy.

I didn't really love the bounty hunters (and the spider one was just gross). I thought the constant amount of naked dick and sex was hilarious.

In short: really liked, and shall be getting the next one.

Ghost (the run by Kelly Sue Deconnick that came out within the last year) - It was short, but entertaining. I really would like more? idk. I suspect I won't get more. I'm a sucker for amnesiac girls who rip people's hearts out through their ribs.

The New Ghostbusters - JANINE MELNITZ. Unf. So amazing. This is really a silly book, but has some nice skewering of the sexism and bullshit that goes into things. Basically, I read it for the crack.

Captain Marvel: In Pursuit of Flight - So. I liked it. But I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I think I had too high expectations for the premise (LADY PILOTS IN WWII, SIGN ME UP. sigh), and I just. idk. Carol didn't really pull me in? I guess?

Also, about a third of the time, I had no idea who was speaking. Some of that was the art, but, uh, some of it was that there didn't seem to be any differentiation between characters (and I'm still not sure how many women were in that pilot group)

I feel like it could have spent a lot more time in the past, but I guess that wasn't the point.

I'll get the next trade (I've already ordered it), if only to see if I like Carol or not.

But I'd rather have a new comic set in WWII all about female pilots. :/
