Nothing at the moment! I am between books.
Recently Finished
I skipped last week because there wasn’t much to report, but since then I have managed to finish a few books. First, I was determined to read through Vermis III: Old Curses & Buried Horrors by Plastiboo, which seemed to follow a structure more similar to the second book but set things up like the first volume; namely, it told what seemed to be a singular character’s journey through these dark and strange lands with an ending unique to that character, yet it started once again with a selection of characters one presumes you’d be choosing from. It made things feel a little disjointed, as I wasn’t sure which it was truly going for at times. The settings, scenarios, and monsters contained within were truly inspiring though, and I continue to really love the art, so it didn’t detract from the experience too much. If a fourth volume is made, I hope things are taken in a somewhat different direction, however.
I also finished reading Dictionary of Fine Distinctions by Eli Burnstein. I don’t have much to say about it except that I loved it through and through. It’ll be great to have around as a reference book to recheck things, and I’m glad I read it cover to cover first so I could see all it had to offer.
Earlier this week I finished reading Absolute Batman Vol. 2: Abomination by Scott Snyder, Marcos Martín, and Nick Dragotta. I liked but didn’t love the first volume, as it had to juggle setting the stage for a new Batman origin story and tell of a compelling conflict in the present. With all of that groundwork laid, I really loved this book. I’ve not read many Bane stories before, but from what I’ve heard about how the character was presented at his inception, this seemed to me like a great return to form for a villain who is supposed to be one of Batman’s greatest rivals. Batman is so often presented as a man who can handle almost anything too, so it was great to see him put into such a vulnerable position by an adversary he is seemingly no match for physically or mentally. Seeing him overcome this challenge and the cost it incurred was sensational.
Reading Next
Next I plan to read Let Me In Your Window by Adam Ellis, a graphic novel collection of horror stories. There are some books I own that I really want to start reading, but I borrowed a bunch of library books like this one again that I really want to read and return first.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
