Review

I got the gist of the story and I did enjoy reading it for the most part, but something kept me from loving this story. I think because it is set in "futuristic" England....in 1997. Also I really wish they didn't have V leave constant riddles, especially with Evey. I wasn't too impressed with Evey, but when she got frustrated with V's long, drawn out monologues and riddles, I could relate. However, I am glad I read the book.

I chomped down on two YA books and a bunch of graphic novels to keep up with the current game. It was enough that I reached my goal of reading 100 books this year!

Now I have one graphic novel to read, V for Vendetta, that I will start as soon as the kids are in bed. Then it is on to finishing A Sip Before Dying, working my way through Black Rose, and hopefully by the end of the week getting into Life As We Knew It. My sister-in-law is visiting this weekend, so here's to hoping I get through my weekly TBR before she flies in.

I'm mostly through volume three and forgot to post a review of this.  

I have a migraine that I finally tamed, I'm stressed out again and I'm going to take a day for myself.   Binge watching Savage Dragon and binge reading Spawn.   The perfect day to be honest.  

Not a long review, but I still love the darkness, I love Angela and medieval Spawn.  

Resellers want over a hundred bucks for the hardcover of the Art of Todd McFarlane, which I've wanted for a while.   Bought the paperback on Amazon because I am just waaaaay too stressed not to make a couple small purchases to keep me sane.  

I'm so tired my eyes hurt.   I'm too stressed, depressed, and disturbed to go to sleep.   So I keep reading Spawn.  I was wondering why issue 10 wasn't reprinted.   Copyright issues with Cerebrus.   I'n not a huge Dave Sim fan, so I was actually okay with that not being reprinted, to be honest. 

I notice they did include issue 11 with Angela, as I mentioned before.   I care far more about Angela than anything of Sims.   (And Sims has a huge following, which I am not trying to put down.   I just don't grok his stuff, especially not when compared to Angela/Gaiman.   And issue 11 wasn't reprinted for a while because of other copyright issues with Angela and Gaiman.   So I am not putting down Sim, or his fans, just stating that 11/Angela's hunt is way more important to me, especially given how she comes back later on whereas Cerebrus is a one-shot cameo.    That being said, me enjoying Angela more is a different issue.   I have huge respect for Sim as a creator because he's not untalented and carved out a huge space for himself in comics history, even if I'm not especially fond of his things.   Sim had bouts of mental illness and then went on an anti-feminist tirade and was like 'women are inferior for the most part' so I don't respect that about him.   But I can still respect his creation and the respect people have for it and what it accomplished without liking it.   Did I mention how tired I am, which is why this has gone on this long...)

Ooooh!  Angela.   After a lawsuit, she will eventually be sold to Marvel, where I continue to adore her.
