Wednesday Reading

[redrikki]

We Are Robin Vol. 1 -  I read the first issue back when it came out, but decided that I already had enough in my pull and that I'd read it when the trades came out. Finally, years later, I managed to track the the bound volume down at my local comic shop. Overall, it was enjoyable. I liked the various kids in the Robin movement, although reading this seriously makes me question all those fics which feature Duke Thomas as the only sane man. Like, the kid joined a gang of teenage vigilantes and stuck with it even after one of them got killed. In what world is any of that sane? Speaking of which, the fact that Alfred is the one equipping and sending a bunch of kids out to fight crime with zero training makes me really uncomfortable with his character.

Marvel Rising Vol 1 - Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Inferno, and America team up to stop a baddy who can shape reality into video games. The interactions between the characters were adorable, but my utter lack of familiarity with video games and their mechanics made it hard to get, like, half the jokes.

Up next...

No clue. Something. Probably a lot of fanfic.
