The mysterious Red Hood returns to Gotham with a vengeance! Former Robin Jason Todd parted ways with the Batman over their vastly different approaches to crimefighting.
MY REVIEW
Red Hood is one of my top three favorite characters in comics, so it’s really no surprise that I’m just basically a fangirl for this. I loved seeing Jason back, and watching Bruce trying to puzzle out who he is. I admittedly feel like I always need more Jason in the Batman world. I think that Jason is a brilliant character, and no he’s not always good but he is very much what the world’s made him. He’s a nice parallel to someone like Dick Grayson and I will be rereading this frequently in the future. 5/5 Huge cups of coffee from me.
Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action.
MY REVIEW
We read this for graphic novel club and holy crap I loved it so much. The art is STUNNING, the story is beautiful, the characters are brilliant and beautiful and everything I want from DC when it comes to the Amazons. Even though this is not Wonder Woman’s official origins, I would accept it in a heartbeat. If you want something that truly feels like mythology for ancient civilizations and has bad ass women kicking butt, well then take this and run with it. It is spectacular, I actually cannot gush about it enough so here we are, me just flinging it into your hands and begging you to read. 5/5 Huge cups of coffee from me.
Drawing from original interviews with the author, Holler is an illustrated look at six inspiring changemakers. Denali Nalamalapu, a climate organizer in their own right, introduces readers to the ordinary people who became resisters of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a project that spans approximately 300 miles from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia—a teacher, a single mother, a nurse, an organizer, a photographer, and a seed keeper.
MY REVIEW
Aptly called Activist art, I enjoyed this one. It wasn’t as in-depth as I wanted but that being said, I would absolutely call this a great teaching tool for those educators looking to bring something different into their classroom. The memoir spans several (six) activists and the ways they cope with the hardships and challenges while still maintaining their stances on climate change; especially with what is happening right on their own lands/ back yards. Short, easy read with some great use of color and a perfect way to bring attention to reads of all ages the works of climate activists. 3/5 Cups of coffee from me.
