  Book: Desuetude Author: NTW Pages: 77 Hard Core Scale: 4/4 Normal Scale: 10/10 Publish Date: 2024 About: A huntress on a quest. The world is smaller, different, artificial then it once was. What is lost in the beauty of the world? When the world is tamed what purpose is there for a hunter of beasts? Review: Smoking hot off the press. Short and to the sticking place to quote the bard. A mirror of reality frighting and very real. Something that men like me face in the daily life. The big questions of is there a place for me and what of our place when our real world disappears by our own designs. Our fake natures versus the real nature we abuse and neglect. Haunting, beautiful, heart breaking in its designs and reflective mirror of ourselves and what we may become. NTW you’ve proved yourself after trials and error and the hard passini.   True science fiction. It has been done and done well. https://www.amazon.com/Desuetude-NTW-ebook/dp/B0CTHSNYVR/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=2D...

Now danger increases into the world and Mark must find great strength and responsibility facing temptations, horrors, and forgiveness. Review:      A long haul build up. The strengths are wonderful as Mark (Invincible) develops and grows as a hero through his trials. Its ultimate themes on forgiveness, want, and ultimate good strongly used. Its concept of ultimate peace on the other hand seemingly always turning back towards violence. That did not set well with me. It is a very violent book. The arguments of what one does in a super hero comic book world with mortal heroes in immortal bodies and villains is a critique on the genre that I’m not sure w...

  Comic Book: Animal Man Author: Grant Morrison Issues: 32 Hard Core Scale: 3/4 Normal Scale: 8/10 Publish Date: 1988 About: Animal Man has the unique abilities to attain powers from the animals around him. Not the most useful of super powers, but someone wants him dead and uncanny events begin surrounding him and his family’s life. Review: What a trip. Those moments where the publisher just throws someone the keys to a small fry and say prove it. Morrison crushes the early contract issues and was kept on. He explore wonders things of the human condition while making great use of an absurd character in an absurd world. Coyote Gospel might be one of the best comic one-shots written period. Sadly, he takes it to the ultimate 4 th wall breaking of character meeting author and turns it into a self-rant of the self and animals in the imagination. Also, a tribute to the small and forgotten character’s post OG crisis with one of the earliest mockeries of the second crisis loomin...
