Saga Vol 9 Graphic Novel Review

Saga Vol 9

Erica Gives This Comic Four StarsSaga Vol 9 by Brian K. Vaughan (writer), Fiona Staples (artist), and Fonografiks (lettering + design)
Rating: 4/5 stars

If Saga gets you emotional, get ready for Volume 9. Vaughan continues with the emotional punches, and in many ways, this feels like a wind down of the book. The team says they’re going on a break from this book, so it’s unclear just how long we’ll have to wait for Volume 10 and some conclusions.

This review is about to get super spoiler-filled, so do not continue to read it if you haven’t read Volume 9. Continue reading “Saga Vol 9 Graphic Novel Review”

The She-Hulk Diaries came out in 2013, amidst one of those “women read comic books too!” attempts both Marvel and DC have tried multiple times. They’ve only recently succeeded in having any traction with this — and by “they,” I mean DC. They’ve smartly hired already famous YA authors with built-in audiences like Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, and Sarah J. Mass.

The She-Hulk Diaries is dressed “for ladies” only. She-Hulk, our star character, is green skinned and wears purple. The book’s spine is lime green, the front cover purple with white curly and diary fonts, and features a single tube of rolled out green lipstick and the Marvel logo at the bottom.
