I'm not particularly enjoying this run, which is kind of blandly grim with some deeply uncomfortable Yellow Peril elements, but the one bright spot is Blindspot. Give him a solo series, Marvel!

This is the best Lois Lane - and one of the best Clark Kents - I've ever read, and a fun little mystery besides. I love this series.

I'm not a fan of Bronze Age comics in general - too much talky melodrama without the zany pacing of the Silver Age or cleaner pacing of the Modern Age - but Infantino's art is gorgeous and Kara is eons less whiny than most male heroes of the Bronze Age. Unsurprisingly.

I usually love Loretta Chase but I was disappointed in this one. The hero was basically a relentless asshole to everyone the whole way through, including the heroine, and whined about every good thing that happened to him.

A Jewish hero in a historical romance! I've never encountered that before and I loved it.

Honestly, I could barely follow this book, it was so convoluted, and I disliked so many of the characters that it hardly seemed worth the effort. I know so many people who love it but I'm not one of them.

I liked the characters in this a lot, though everyone's dismissal of Tom's very real trauma frustrated me. It felt like he made all the concessions and Reese made none, and I prefer romances where it feels like both characters are growing together.

Mostly I will remember this book for the guy on the subway who started reading it over my shoulder and then ATTEMPTING TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME. But the history was fine, I guess.

I put off reading this book for a while because I was afraid it couldn't possibly be as beautiful and heartbreaking as the first in the series, but luckily I was totally wrong.

You know how you hear a book being hyped so much you assume it can't possibly live up to it? Not the case here. I loved this book.

There is a tragic and mischievous urchin child in this m/m romance and that is all I need to love a book, really.

I found the prose of this a little exhausting. I guess that's how narrative non-fiction goes but I wanted her to calm down and just tell me the history already.

Gorgeous and lyrical. The imagery in this book is exquisite.

Finally got around to reading this! Though I don't know that I would automatically have thought "hip hop musical" upon reading, it's a pretty entertaining and incredibly thorough piece of scholarship. Warning: it WILL get the songs stuck in your head.

Annnd another volume of Waid's Daredevil. What will I do when I don't have these to reread anymore?

Y'all know how I feel about this series by now. TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR THIS WORLD.

It took me TWO YEARS to read this incredibly dense 1300 page history of New York, and that's with it only going through the consolidation of Greater New York in 1898. #NOREGRETS I am just that big of an NYC history nerd, I guess.

A companion to the C&H exhibit at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum - a new interview with Watterson & a thematically curated handful of strips. Not mandatory reading if you've already got all the C&H books, but a nice little addition.

Man, you guys know I love this comic, do I even need to say anything here?

Interesting enough, but this redhead was a bit uncomfortable with the emphasis on redheads as a persecuted group. I'm sure it's worse in Harvey's native UK but from an American perspective tying Black Lives Matter to teasing gingers is a problematic leap at best.

A thematic history and analysis of movie musicals. I basically want to yell every line of this book at everyone I meet. It's brilliant & hilarious & so eloquent about what makes musicals unique & wonderful that it brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion. Definitely Musicals 201, though!

The 2nd volume of Mickey Mouse strips from Fantagraphics, covering 1932-33. They're absolutely gorgeous, and Gottfredson is a master of building up momentum, both with danger and with humor. The commentary handwaves the 1930s racism more than I'm comfortable with, though.

Adorable baker Craig meets commitment-phobic playboy Alex, sparks fly, etc. Everything about this book, which is basically a coffee shop AU of a fandom that may or may not exist, is very cute, but I found the lack of real conflict frustrating.

13-year-old theater kid Nate Foster runs away from his tiny Pennsylvania town to NYC to audition for ET: The Musical. Hilarious and so, so sweet. I just wanted to give Nate a hug and tickets to every show in town.
