Red Thorn, Volume 1: Glasgow Kiss
Red Thorn, Volume 1: Glasgow Kiss | David Baillie
6 posts | 7 read | 14 to read
RED GOD RISING Although she grew up in America, gifted artist Isla Mackintosh is a Scot at heart. Both of her parents were born in Glasgow, and 25 years ago her older sister Lauren vanished during a visit to the land of her ancestry. Now, Isla is following in her sister s footsteps, hoping to discover the truth behind her disappearance. The secret she s about to unearth, however, is far older and more dangerous than she ever could have guessed. Something has been waiting for Isla, deep beneath the moors. A pagan demigod has been trapped there for millennia, caged inside the bones of ancient gods. He smells of the blood of a thousand enemies and the sweat of countless lovers. His name is Thorn, and Isla s art is the key to his freedom. Writer David Baillie and artists Meghan Hetrick and Steve Pugh bring the myths and legends of Scotland roaring back to life in RED THORN VOL. 1: GLASGOW KISS a sweeping, supernatural saga in the classic VERTIGO tradition!"

Hmm. Mostly good. Love the Scottish mythology and having a heroine with an ability that allows drawings to come to life... a few elements where a bit underdeveloped but I‘m hoping any lingering confusion will be banished with the second volume.

Well. I ended up not leaving the house today cos it's so cold out. Soooo I'm using goodreads!! Comics I read today+yesterday.

1) Read both volumes of Red Thorn. It's alllllllll about Scottish mythology, so if that's your game then try it out. (Redcaps! Harry Potter taught me well!)
2) Greek Street. Modern retellings of Greek mythology. 70% nude strippers, 30% actual story. Clearly an all-male creative team. Don't recommend.
3) Vegan snackies 🍻

JanuarieTimewalker13 Ughhh, I stayed in all day too!! And I find myself so lazy, I‘m too lazy to make comments! Lol I had to for Vegan Finger Foods, however. Now if I could just get my butt out of this bed and act like a human... 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Oh, I forgot to say, that book looks fun and yummy! 7y
queerbookreader @JanuarieTimewalker13 Hahahahaha I love your comment!! I got that book from the library and I'm good with that commitment. Probably wouldn't buy it. Kinda fancy for me. Most of my appetizers involve 1-9) dips 10) more dips. This book has fancier stuff than just some dips 😋 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Yeah, I get it...I‘m not a fancy food person. I‘m like a good sandwich from Cinnamon Snail person...maple mustard tempeh on a pretzel roll type. Lol 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Load on the Kale!! I have to try their mashed potatoes with porcini mushroom sauce. I foresee a trip into Manhattan soon! 7y

Mehso-so

It did not make me want to run out and find the 2nd volume but maybe the story gets better as it goes along. It wasn't BAD but just didn't make me very invested in what happens to the characters.

Got a late start because I stayed up too late last night then I burnt the bacon for my lunch. What a STINKY MESS. Everything's clean now. First book today in my #24hourReadathon @DeweysReadathon

BookishFeminist 😩 poor bacon! I've done that before too and it is so awful to clean & air out. 8y

Demigod Thorn starts killing all the new gods created while he was imprisoned. He enlists LochNess ( hot lady spirit) to help. Like this sad one....the God of drowned children. Kinda like a story where Scottish lore meets shadow hunters.

Isla travels to Glasgow to uncover the mystery of her sister Lauren's disappearance. While retracing her steps, she discovers she has a super power - anything she draws comes to life and she can rewrite history. Isla falls in with a Scot demigod Thorn who knows what happened to her sister, but wants to use her powers to take back the pantheon he was banished from years ago.
