Here’s a roundup of the things I’ve read the past week that didn’t make it to a review.
The Waste Lands (Dark Tower Book 3) by Stephen King
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I think it’s my favorite of the Dark Tower series so far.
Hawkman, Volume 2: Deathbringer by Robert Venditti and Bryan Hitch
⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 3 out of 5.
This series was better than some previous Hawkman efforts, and Bryan Hitch art is welcome, but I didn’t get into it that much.
Providence by Max Barry
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 5 out of 5.
This one made my best of 2020 so far list. Full review might be in the cards later. Check it out if you like sci-fi.
Pokemon Adventures vol. 9 by Hidenori Kusaka and Mato
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 4 out of 5.
This series is up and down. I don’t think I’d recommend it for those who don’t like Pokemon but it’s perfectly serviceable for those that do.
Pretty Deadly vol. 3 by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 5 out of 5.
Another one that made my best of list. It was worth the 4 year wait after volume 2.
Astro Boy vol. 3 by Osamu Tezuka
⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
I’m not sure Astro Boy is going to be for me. I don’t mind older comics, but this one just isn’t doing it for me.
Throne of Jade by Namoi Novik
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 4 out of 5.
The second book of Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series. While the first was mostly world-building there’s a lot of good character and relationship stuff between Laurence and Temeraire here.
Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs by Caitlin Doughty
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
This was my first Caitlin Doughty book. It was funny and informative but I think it might have been better to start with one of her books that wasn’t answering reader questions.
Kekkaishi vol. 25 by Yellow Tanabe
⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
I’m really losing interest in this series. I’m mostly just reading so I can say I made it to the end of the series at this point.
X-Men: Days of Future Past Prose Novel by Alex Irvine
⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 3 out of 5.
Marvel has been re-releasing the Graphic Audio versions of all their prose novels the past 6 months or so. Most of them are truly terrible, this one was mostly fine.
