  • Loki: Where Mischief Lies – Mackenzi Lee

    Loki: Where Mischief Lies – Mackenzi Lee

    Loki: Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee My rating: 4 of 5 stars Mackenzi Lee tackles Loki’s story through the Marvel lens, blending Norse mythology and storylines with the unique versions of the characters that readers might be familiar with from the Marvel cinematic universe. We meet Loki and Thor as younger, more vulnerable characters…

  • Supernova – Marissa Meyer

    Supernova – Marissa Meyer

    Supernova by Marissa Meyer My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Supernova is the third and final book in the Renegades trilogy by Marissa Meyer. The series was inspired by the author’s love of superheroes, and specifically her childhood dreaming about the X-Men with her brother. I would say that Supernova is my favourite book in…

  • Batgirl, Volume 5: Art of the Crime – Mairghread Scott

    Batgirl, Volume 5: Art of the Crime – Mairghread Scott

    Batgirl, Volume 5: Art of the Crime by Mairghread Scott My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars This graphic novel combines Batgirl #26-29, Batgirl Annual #2 plus an 8 page story from Batgirl #2, which means that it was pretty long (because of the Annual). The Annual storyline focuses on the familial relationship between Barbara Gordon…

  • Superman – Matt de la Pena

    Superman – Matt de la Pena

    Superman: Dawnbreaker by Matt de la Pena My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Although Superman is not one of my favourite superheroes, I did want to see how his origin story would play out. I’ve never read any of Matt de la Pena’s books before, so I had no expectations about his writing style or…

  • Batgirl: Strange Loop – Hope Larson

    Batgirl: Strange Loop – Hope Larson

    Batgirl, Volume 4: Strange Loop by Hope Larson My rating: 3 of 5 stars As much as I love Batgirl, I have not been a fan of this run. The stories seem jumbled and not remotely connected. You have to go into this as if you are reading a number of completely standalone tales (or…

  • Catwoman: Soulstealer – Sarah J Maas

    Catwoman: Soulstealer – Sarah J Maas

    Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love superheroes and comics, so this series is actually what I never knew I always wanted. I really enjoy the unique origin stories that some of my favourite YA authors have brought to the characters, but sometimes they just feel a little…

  • Spider-Gwen – Jason Latour (Graphic Novel)

    Spider-Gwen – Jason Latour (Graphic Novel)

    Spider-Gwen, Vol. 0: Most Wanted? by Jason Latour My rating: 3 of 5 stars I feel like I am in the minority about this graphic novel (and character) as she is called the ‘breakout character hit of the year’ and I’m just not on board. I love Gwen Stacy, but this series just did not…

  • Batman: Nightwalker – Marie Lu

    Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu My rating: 4 of 5 stars Batman: Nightwalker gives us an origin story for the Caped Crusader that we didn’t know we needed – even if it doesn’t feel like the dark, gritty Batman we know from the Dark Knight or the comics. Bruce is an eighteen-year-old boy who is…

  • Batgirl, Volume 2: Son of Penguin – Hope Larson

    Batgirl, Volume 2: Son of Penguin by Hope Larson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I fell in love with Babs again when her story was reintroduced in DC’s New 52 and she got a costume redesign. As much as I enjoyed Gail Simone’s run, it was the collaboration of Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher and…
