Nothing physical new this week, but Amazon was having a pretty amazing sale on Marvel Digital comics, like 90% off on a LOT of books, so I binged a bit and picked up a stack of books I’ve been looking forward to reading. I once did comics reviews, I may have to start doing it again. Anyway…

A lot of newer stuff in there, I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the art style in a lot of older comics. The two main drivers here were Ms. Marvel and Spider-Gwen, both series I’ve been wanting to read for a while. I’ve started on both. I also picked up the Kate Bishop Book because I really enjoy the Hawkeye^2 run. The same thing can be said of Jessica Jones. Alies was enjoyable and the Netflix series is my favorite of those shows, so it felt like a no brainer.
Spinning off a bit from Marvel, I’ve heard the Darth Vader series is pretty decent as well. I’m always kind of wary of Star Wars Expanded Universe stuff, it tends to feel a little Fan-Fic-ish which I don’t care for. I decided to give this one a go however, and the Doctor Aphra book I believe is related. Whatever the case, Doctor Aphra I believe is getting a Black Series figure in an upcoming wave, and I’d like to know why.
I was a little hesitant to go for Gwenpool. I’m not real big on Deadpool, and Gwenpool kind of feels like an even more MEME ridden version of Deadpool. For what it’s worth I passed on Squirrel Girl for this reason, also I can’t stand the art in Squirrel Girl.
IronHeart Ironman was kind of a random gamble, I know there was some uproar over this book and it’s protagonists so I figured I’d check it out. Mockingbird was also a random pick up. I like what I’ve seen of the character elsewhere, so I figure I’d try out her series.
Lastly, Marvel 1602, I have almost zero idea of what this is but it sounded like a neat concept. I generally like these sort of “re-imagined what if” style stories, probably because they tend ot be self contained while still keeping the idea and spirit of super heroes.
