David McK (3562 KP) rated Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, Vol 1: Galaxy's Deadliest in Books
Aug 29, 2021
In the original Star Wars trilogy - or, at least, ever since Empire Strikes Back - there was actually three main groups: that of the Rebels (Luke and co), that of the Empire (Darth Vader), and that of the 'scum and villainy' (Jabba the Hutt).
Of the latter, the Bounty Hunters first featured in Empire Strikes Back where far and away the coolest.
Which is why it is such a shame that this comic arc completely bungles the landing: hard to follow (I didn't even realise until a fair bit in that Valance was meant to be the main character), with the panels and lettering all over the place, and with a plot that takes its time spinning wheels, and that even has had its thunder stolen by The Mandalorian!
I might pick up the next arc, but only if it's own sale - doubt I'll pay full price for it!

This book completely wreck me and validated my feelings, all at the same time. I can’t think of a woman that won’t relate to some of the garbage situations that the women in these book have to deal with, regardless of class, race, or sexual orientation.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Batgirl, Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection in Books
Feb 25, 2018
I'm a huge fan (maybe one of the only) of the new 52 DC reboot. Barbara Gorden is the main reason. Babs has her legs again! She's no longer Oracle, and she's Batgirl again. Batgirl was my first favorite superhero, after watching the 1960s Batman show. She was a librarian, and she had the cool motorcycle.
Gail Simone script is excellent in this volume, and I quickly demolished her Batgirl arc.

This novella is Chris Merit's POV and it begins straight after Revealing Us ends.
The story continues in Paris, You learn what happened to Chris and you get an inkling into what makes him tick. Sara gets to see the painted dragons and the real dragons in Chris's Paris life. I Loved this but it was over far to quick for me and I just want more...

Not awful but not great either. The plot lacked originality (angels/demons), some characters fell a little flat, could have used more world building, and I thought the way the angels/demons identify one another (seeing each other's breath, really?!) was a tad ridiculous. I think there was potential here for a good story but as is it was disappointing.
*Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!*

The Dead Spot: stories of Lost Girls

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A collection of short stories
This was a fun read. These short stories all contained a lost girl element and each one was unique. From dealing with zombees to twisted parents. Really good read.
