Monk discovers that a recently deceased judge was actually poisoned. And then Captain Stottlemeyer starts shows the same symptoms. Who is out to kill the captain?

The plot in this one was a little simpler than it might have been, but the characters make it plenty of fun. Yes, there are even some more great laughs along the way.

Sadly, this is looking like it will be the final book in the Monk novels. It’s been a wonderful franchise, and I am going to really miss these characters.

The only reason I read Volume 2 is because I felt guilty for not reading all of my library books. Again, skews to the younger demographic. It also pulls from the 'Captain America: Hydra-Agent' mess that I can't even acknowledge to be valid. I haven't read it.... and I was kind of pissed that he killed Natasha (spoiler alert?).
After this volume... I can't wait until they reboot Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in January and give her character back to Kelly Thompson.
The last issue of the volume was the best, mostly because Carol's back on Earth with her friends and only gets emo at the end.

<b><i>Has it ever occurred to you that there might be another version to Peter Pan’s story? Would you want to see Captain Hook’s point of view? If so, then you will truly enjoy this lovely short read: Captain Hook: Villain or Victim by Ellwyn Autumn. </i></b>

I have always loved Peter Pan and this fairy tale is without a doubt my favourite fairy tale. The world is unique, and the story is amazing. Maybe Peter Pan was the reason I was always so in love with England. I will never know.

When Ellwyn introduced me to her book, I knew I had to have it. I had to read it and find out what Captain Hook’s story might be. The book is quite short, but full of adventures throughout. We follow the journalist, David J. Locke, who sails through the seas searching for Captain Hook. When he finally gets a clue, he dives into the story of Captain Hook and discovers truths that have never been told before.

Even though there were times when the Captain Hook’s story seems like a side-story to David J. Locke’s adventures, it was a pleasure to read it, and I read it in one sitting. The book keeps you interested throughout, and the fiction of the re-telling is quite smart and uniquely thought through. I am very happy that I read this book! I would recommend it to all of you that love retellings and love fairy tales.

A huge thank you to Ellwyn Autumn, for sending me a paperback copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Stay Fly is my favorite Captain Marvel volume of them all. Danvers is in space, has contact with Rocket, and finds out her cat, Chewie, is an alien with thousands of babies. I kind of want to frame the cover art because it's hilarious and makes me laugh.

Secret Invasion: Where Marvel decided to change characters into Skrulls. In this volume, Carol's not even sure if she's a Skrull. The newest run of Captain Marvel (2015) seemed to get an idea or two from this arc, and I'm not sure that was a good way to go.
