Kendall’s characters are really compelling and really generate interest in the remaining books of the series. And then I came home and delved right back into reading.

Do you enjoy inflicting pain on your readers? Gosh damn. I hurt the people around me.”įuck, fuck, fuck, Matt Dinniman. I look forward to the next installment in the series and I hope beyond hope that it is just as well written as it's predecessors. ![]() Once more I find that even though I'm physically done with this book I am not done with it at all. ![]() That is what Dinniman gives us each time around and just like the last four books, I am glad I read this. And make no mistake in good books that's what the characters become, people, real people with hopes and dreams, with tragic stories we might never read or hear. People you hardly know become painful to loose a few chapters later. Donut is an amazing foil to Carl, and the supporting cast is really good to. They weren't called, they were simply on of the many unfortunates caught up in this mess. That's first and foremost on my mind, I find myself rooting for the main characters because while they might always come out on top in the end, it is a harrowing journey of adventure which they didn't choose for themselves. It's incredibly well written fiction that can make you feel emotion which is the mark of an excellent author. It's heartbreaking in so many ways to think about this but just like the spectators in this novel I can't get enough of it. But for those of us that love this stuff this is another excellent addition. Honestly this series isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. ![]() ![]() We live in an odd media climate, and much like cinema, the comic medium is undeniably dominated by the male gaze. ![]() ![]() After she informs Sparky, the ineffectual dragon which guards her tower, that his role in life is to essentially be beheaded by a knight in shining armour, the two head off to rescue Adrienne’s other sisters. The problem is, Adrienne neither wants nor needs rescuing. The series follows Princess Adrienne, who, along with her five older sisters, was locked in a tower by her tyrant father on her sixteenth birthday, in the hope that some gallant knight will prove himself worthy of the throne by rescuing one of them. ![]() It’s also very, very funny – as was the FCD offering when read following this trade of the first 4-issue miniseries. Action Lab’s charming, Eisner-nominated all-ages series is a much needed parody of the gender roles played in fairy tales and high fantasy fiction. I first encountered Princeless a few weeks ago during Free Comic Day, and gave up reading the brief promo a few pages in. Comedy in comics is not so much a difficult thing to execute as it is to establish we need to know a character’s quirks before we find them funny. ![]() ![]() ![]() As he recovers from a near-fatal illness, March must reassemble and reconnect with his family, who have no idea of what he has endured.Ī love story set in a time of catastrophe, March explores the passions between a man and a woman, the tenderness of parent and child, and the life-changing power of an ardently held belief.

I can't say much about this book, only that broke me so much and I can't stop crying. It was so sentimental and I ended up crying because of how much Ekaterina and Sergei loved each other, how good they were on the rink and how much chemistry they had, not only as lovers, but as a professional pair. This is a love story, but it's also a tragedy. I watched the documentary and then read this book. In the comments I read that he passed away and there was a documentary on Youtube about him, Ekaterina and Sergei's story and his dead. I once saw a tiktok about the Russian ice skater pair, Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov skating, and they looked so perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() “This is what I felt like I was supposed to do, and it would be wrong of me not do this,” Wright said recently of her work in the community.īlack Tie Dinner co-chairs Ron Guillard and Nan Arnold said that Wright was the unanimous choice for the Med Award this year. ![]() For her efforts, Wright will be awarded the 2010 Media Award at this weekend’s Black Tie Dinner.
