Welcome to Litsy!

Read 3 of my #ReadYourEbooks picks for February. Even if my Ms. Marvel book slot for March isn‘t selected, I suspect I‘ll be continuing with her journey.

Continuing on with this series.

Meh story was okay. I liked the art and the vampires were my favorite.

Enjoy!

Flying to China, an airplane crashes in #Nepal. Tintin‘s friend Chang was on the plane and can‘t be found. So Tintin, cute little Snowy his dog, and his buddy the Captain head to the Himalayan Mountains to try to find Chang. Most of this early version of a graphic novel happens in Nepal so I think a small part happens in Tibet solely for the alliteration of the title. This was the first time I‘ve read Tintin even though my husband has all of ⬇️

The Department of Truth is a secret organization responsible for keeping dangerous conspiracy theories from becoming real — by the percentage of the population that believes in them. The art is dark, messy, and beautiful. As a fan of the X-FILES, I should be all over this, but despite the great concept, the characters are generic and the narrative is too familiar. Worth checking out if you‘re a fan of these themes. If not, you won‘t miss much.

#FeelinTheLove Day 28: Despite the heated-oven ending where the narcissistic [ #Narcissism ] villainess supposedly got her comeuppance, I found no redemption in this tale, the creators had none to give. The reader is left to find scraps of those from the occasional vacuous kindness for the beautiful darknesses to sneer at in its vapid naivete.

Loved Ms. Marvel, issues 1-5

I think editor Sana Ananat wrote it best when describing this comic and its readers:

“–it was clear that you guys got it. By now you should have realized that this book isn‘t a marketing ploy, nor does it come with political agendas. It‘s just a story about a young girl maneuvering her way to adulthood, who also happens to reflect the changing face of America.”

👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼

The graphic novel written by Evie Wyld and illustrated by Joe Sumner was only ok. Evie remembers growing up in Australia where her shark obsession begins. Interspersed with shark attack stories this is really about family and loss but stays too much on the surface to be a moving, heartfelt memoir. I enjoyed Sumner‘s artwork.

Soft pick. The story itself didn't grab me, even though I liked the idea of the Jedi Council mingling with normal people. There were many scenes that made me laugh out loud, but all in all there were just way to many characters. Whenever I stopped reading and picked the book up again, I had to look up who's who (except for the obvious ones). Guess I'm not that much of a Star Wars fan after all? 😭
