3 stars. Very generic, I wish it was more different, not sure how I feel about the magic being one strand again, I hated Kai and wished he died, I'm curious about the treaty which lead to the creation of the dessert kingdom and I hate the Shen is a prince because it's a classist trope to make all the good guys long lost royals/nobility and I can't buy Shen remember his life from when he was like what 2-4 years old? It's unrealistic to me. I'm going to read the third as I'm curious about what's going to happen with the ice kingdom and evil queen. Captain Davers betrayal was something I could see from a mile away. He did not like witches and the Baron needed a high ranking spy for the information he was getting.

I like this volume it's great to see more magic and Coco growing closer to the other girls and I'm very curious about Agott past and what happened which drove her to learn magic with such ferocity.
Five stars. I f****** love this comic. I adore the designs for the characters, the writing, the art overall. I love the relationship between Circe and Diana, as mother and daughter, I'm curious as to what the amazonians did to earn this punishment, I love that Wonder Woman is now a witch its a great expansion on her powers, I'm concerned about Hecate prophecy, Prometheus was f****** awesome, and Persphone was beautiful, the trick with the pomegranate seeds was brilliant, I love the origins behind this version of the lasso, and I just adored this comic and can't wait for the next
3 stars. The art was really good And do a great character and directions but I just don't think I'm the demographic for this comic. Also they massively mischaracterized Orion and I'm salty about that. Orion is betrayed as being this brutal and worthless person and make no mistake here that is part of his character but it isn't so dominant, He has a more caring side to him and him and Scott relationship is typically much more nuanced, with there being love and care but also envy. This story it's purely antagonistic in these nothing really brotherly about it. Still it was a good read and I'm not the target demographic
4.5 stars. I adored this book but I think it's not very good if you're just looking to be introduced to the new gods as it's very much a good book but it's written with the idea that the reader knows the characters of the new gods. I especially loved Orion and Scott free interaction they feel like loving brothers, Big Barda was a standout as per usual, and Olivia was adorable. The references to older gods and the source and the baby being some sort of magic prophecy child all felt very mythical which was great because this is a book about the gods of this universe And I very much felt that way. Their ancient, powerful long living some are hateful and some are loving. But they all feel like gods. Not the average characters within DC.
3.5 stars. I liked the story's and they made a lot of sense for the characters but I didn't adore any of them, they were just alright.
I adored this book, Coco is a great protagonist she's as intrigued by the magic as I am as the reader, and great art. It reminds of studio Ghibli
3.7 stars. Wish the dragon and it's orgins had been expanded on, but still I love it as an allegory for mental health, and internalized self-hatred and the only way to handle it is to accept these parts of yourself you do not entirely love. I wish Huge had properly reunited with his family, But it makes sense he didn't considering the implication of what happened which is another thing I wish we got to see.
I adore Vinland saga and volume nine is a continuation of this incredible written work. I love the fight, the bear metaphor and Hild backstory, and Thorfinn having to confront his past from both enemies and former "allys" turned enemies. It's really great to see that Thorfinn past will continue to play a role, as he is someone with many enemies who won't leave him alone just because he's changed and this book is a reminder of that for Thorfinn and the reader of this fact. The ending scene of Thorfinn with the little girl necklace, and the mother begging for mercy is heartbreaking and realistic. I adored it. 5 out of 5.
I really liked this book. All the characters were compelling and the conclusion was perfect with all the build up, and made perfect sense for what has been built up, and left me yearning for more. Rose's views on witches witching is a little abrupt for me and I just wish it had been done a bit slower it's still very well done I just think they needed to be a bit more breathing room. 4 stars
I've never really been a big fan of Supergirl but this book is really really good, and does a great job fleshing her out and making her unique from Superman in a way other writers fail to do without breaking away from her previously established characterizations and I adore ruth as a standalone character and the artist is f****** amazing.
