pickWhile any abridged adaptation is necessarily going to come with its share of deviations, I think the team at Marvel did an excellent job at adapting this epic story. They even included a cheeky King cameo, with “Rich Bachman“, drawn to resemble King, as one of Flagg's lieutenants. #constantreader #losersclub
Having read both the original edit and this adaptation, it'll be interesting to one day read the “complete and uncut“ version.
pickIt shows both books under the same link - not sure about that - Oh well.
Great book 2 :) It's super cute. Love the “friendship“ aspect of this :)
pickSuch a cute graphic novel. Wonderful illustrations and a great story.

pick33/100 The mystery deepens as our writer "hero" foolishly falls in love with the actress hired to replace the other actress. Plenty of secrets come out, dirty tricks, sexual assaults, perversions, scandals the studio is willing to kill to keep quiet. Charlie, the writer, is too drunk most of the time to realize the real danger he is involved in. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
pick32/100 A very dark and gritty story of late 1940s Hollywood. A young starlet is found dead, and the studio rushes to cover up the scandal. A screenwriter, with writer's block, becomes involved because he knows the studio's story isn't true. It's very dark, there aren't any really likeable characters, even the MMC is a coward you folds under studio pressure to keep quiet. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
pickCreator Joe Benitez only illustrated the prologue for each chapter in this series, while main art duties were delegated to guest artist Brian Ching. It was an interesting change-up; it wasn't bad, just felt a little... lesser. Solid story. Lady Mechanika is flying solo, going up against vampires as she again crosses paths with La Dama de la Muerta.
