Stressed out by the news, I decided to relax by reading a funny book...
pickA massive cross-over event that sees the god of the symbiotes invade Earth. Eddie Brock/Venom is forced to reconcile with his place in the world and his role in saving it. Can he be a father to his son and a hero to the world, or is his violent path too much to put behind him? How can he rise to meet the King in Black when mutants and superheroes continue to fall to the void? Excellent storytelling and art.
pickReprinting early issues of the comics in two beautiful formats.
so-soMeh. I guess if I had done a little research on the Color series, I would have known that they all feature their hero pining over someone they lost. I guess I wasn't in the mood for Cap mourning Bucky so soon after reading Matt Murdock's story. Or maybe I just don't find Captain America to be that interesting. Even Sale's art seemed uninspired. And, if I hadn't seen the MCU movies, I would have had no idea who anyone in this comic was.
pickMan's inhumanity to man. What made me weep at the close of this graphic novel is realizing exactly how much Truth there is to the kinds of atrocities depicted and the kind of treatment black people (and other BIPOC minorities) received, even AFTER the worst was done. See the last couple pages of this work for academic/ historical sources. A very important read. #graphicnovel #bipoccharacters #racisminhistory
pickCaptain America has been living a lie, when he is revealed to be one of their agents since the sentient Cosmic Cube Kobik affected his memories upon Red Skull's clone using her powers on him. Steve Rogers has worked his way into a position where he can make Hydras ideal reality!
pickAn emotional look at Cap‘s early years fighting in the Second World War alongside his best friend, Bucky. Sparse dialogue with very cinematic scenes, this tale digs into the deep relationship forged by these kindred spirits, a friendship that will echo into the future. Classic!
pickSped through this one pretty quick. Short redemption story for Bucky.
