The Wicked + the Divine Vol. 9: “Okay” – Gillen, McKelvie, Wilson, Cowles

Posted on 31/12/2019 by Roseanna

I managed to read a comic series that GOT TO THE END. Like, the actual, planned end, not “oh, soz, guess no more Ody-C for you”. I have the full set nicely lined up on my bookshelf! How exciting is this! … Continue reading →

Die Vol. 1: Fantasy Heartbreaker – Gillen, Hans, Cowles

Posted on 14/12/2019 by Roseanna

Occasionally, circumstances conspire in a good way. You might, for instance, decide that today is the day to read this graphic novel, but you’re a bit sleepy, so you’re going to do it in bed. And it’s a bit noisy … Continue reading →

The Wicked + the Divine Vol. 7 and Vol. 8

Posted on 03/07/2019 by Roseanna

Double bill special feature (or: it gets really hard to have something different to say about graphic novels after the first few volumes*). And there won’t be much to say. Y’all know I like WicDiv. If you weren’t going to … Continue reading →

The Wicked + The Divine Vol. 5: Imperial Phase Part 1 – Gillen, McKelvie, Wilson, Cowles

Posted on 13/01/2018 by Roseanna

I’m not 100% sure what keeps pulling me back to this series. I’ve said before how I’m not super in love with it, I’ve critiqued it, I’ve said how I’ve read much better comics than this… but I do keep … Continue reading →

Pretty Deadly Vol. 2 – Deconnick, Rios, Bellaire and Cowles

Posted on 24/06/2017 by Roseanna

I am definitely not trying to bump my stats in my reading challenge by reading a graphic novel next, especially as I’m behind my target. That’s not a thing I would do. And I mean, I’m not really. I would … Continue reading →

Pretty Deadly Volume 1: The Shrike – Deconnick, Rios, Bellaire, Cowles

Posted on 31/10/2016 by Roseanna

This has been sitting on my desk for ages. Months and months. I mean, it moved house with me, and I’ve been in the new place a fair old while. And I am ashamed and abashed that I have not got … Continue reading →

The Wicked + The Divine Volume 4: Rising Action – Gillen, McKelvie, Wilson, Cowles

Posted on 20/10/2016 by Roseanna

ARGH. It’s a good “ARGH”, though. So you remember I was pretty un-fond of WicDiv Vol. 3? The disparate styles and… lack of plot cohesion really got to me. But I concluded that I had a good feeling that the … Continue reading →

Commercial Suicide – Gillen, McKelvie, Wilson and Cowles

Posted on 14/06/2016 by Roseanna

I didn’t actually enjoy this one much at all. It’s for a lot of reasons, but the one that really sticks with me is the art. It’s different from the first two volumes, and varies a lot within this one … Continue reading →

Fandemonium (The Wicked + The Divine) – K. Gillen, J. McKelvie, M. Wilson, C. Cowles

Posted on 09/01/2016 by Roseanna

Ok, I lied. I couldn’t be bothered to go back to Roberts and SF when I had more Classics-themed stuff to get through (and more pretty pictures). That said, I sort of knew I shouldn’t touch this straight after Ody-C, because … Continue reading →

The Faust Act (The Wicked + The Divine) – K. Gillen, J. McKelvie, M. Wilson, C. Cowles

Posted on 22/10/2015 by Roseanna

You know what I said about the Just City? How it was Classics thus there was no way I was going to resist buying it? Yeah that happened again. Only… kinda more so. If there’s one thing I’m even more … Continue reading →
