Agent Carter Returns

I'm excited for the second season of Agent Carter. I can't wait to see how she takes Hollywood by storm.

Last year, I created a list of books I thought this feisty heroine might read. Check them out. 

Mini Review: Storm Season

 *  volume 2 in the series *

Derrick Storm sees a ghost from his past while working a case. He's been hired to help a woman recover money she lost. Everything should have gone smoothly, but the man she identified as the con artist, comes to Derrick asking for help.


He's looking to find his missing sister, who disappeared. As Derrick digs into the case, he uncovers a dangerous criminal organizations - along with his old CIA partner.

My Thoughts: I'm so happy to learn more about Derrick Storm - with great illustrations, lots of action, lots of danger, and a hint of romance. I hope these graphic novels continue!

Monday Matinee: The Avengers

After watching Iron Man and the rest of the super-hero movies, I was excited to see The Avengers. I watched in on Saturday afternoon and couldn't have been happier.

The action was great - lots of fighting, blowing things up, and or course the best part the Hulk.

The super effects were cool

The villain was creepy.  He was oily, smug, and irritating.

They came together as a team...eventually and after they almost killed each other

The humor was perfection - there was great tension between Tony Stark and well, everyone, but especially with Captain America.

The one criticism I have: I didn't know anything about Hawkeye (including his name). I would have liked some more information about him and his character.

Ironman is still my favorite of the Avengers, he's hard to beat.

Plus all the super heroes had an equal amount of screen time, which seems like it would be really hard to do.

I swear I saw Blake Griffin in the Kneel scene. Anyone else see that?

I liked that the actress from Growing Pains had a small role, I recognized her almost immediately.

There are 2 moments to see after the movie. I only saw the first as I was unaware of the second.

Review: Pride and Prejudice the graphic novel

Pride and Prejudice in graphic novel format

My Thoughts: I liked seeing the graphic format and the pictures were amazing - except for Lizzie's mother, she was hideous. From my understanding, this book is part of a 5 book series although, the book ended with the proposal. I'm not sure where the other books will go. I like that Marvel decided to create a classic graphic for females. Maybe this book will lead reads to the book.

The Cover: Interesting how it resembles a magazine.
