The kids are even more annoying than in the movie, but otherwise an improvement in every way.

It was interesting and I loved the artwork. I think the writing for Lex feels a bit weird. I also wish we'd gotten to explore Luthor's apparently amazing ideology a bit more, all we really see of his character is the desire to kill Supes. The ending is a little unsatisfying for me, which drags the score down a bit.

First time reading the revised version. It's a much cleaner work, I think it was a big upgrade.

I did enjoy this a bit more than the first book, but the shop still seems to be an afterthought.

I feel like Dan being so set on being a store owner in this context is crazy. Take a hint from your mimic buddy, we're all in this together!

I really enjoyed this one from Dinniman. It's hard not to see it in the context of 2026 and the genocide in Palestine and America's relationship to it.

This was a blast. Excited for the next one.

I thought this was pretty good but it didn't fully grab my like other Hamilton works have. I especially enjoy his trilogy, Night's Dawn. The commonwealth stuff I find okay but less interesting for whatever reason.

I am going to finish this duology out though. It was an interesting enough journey for me to see it through to the end. The fallers are a good sci-fi enemy and the Void is a fun concept.

Cars suck and we all know it. This book spells out why and gives you tools to fight back. Worth a read!

A page-turner from Laymon, even if it feels kind of ridiculous sometimes. It's amazing how everyone in this book is unlikable and you kind of want them to fail, except potentially Judy, but you still find yourself rooting for a character.

It's a fun romp with lots of violence and sex to keep you turning the pages.

An enjoyable, spooky read. The plot has some interesting weirdness, but overall it's nothing special. The art is top notch though.

Really liked this, hope to see more from Matt in this setting. I'm sure he'll be busy with DCC for some time, but he's found time for Operation Bounce House, so who knows.

A classic. "In The Hills, The Cities" remains one of my favorites of all time.

This was a lot of fun! I liked it just a bit less than Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon. Excited for the conclusion.

This was really good! Surprisingly dark, Dinniman seems to love exploring trauma. It is much more direct here than in Dungeon Crawler Carl.

A fine ending though nothing really remarkable here. The death loop that was an interesting mechanic in the first book is more or less resolved before we set out. The story is largely predictable, though it's written in an enjoyable fashion.

Grabbed this from Audible on a lark because I had a 2-for-1 credit deal to take advantage of. I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I expected I would! Knew basically nothing going into it, and now I'm excited to check out the next book.

It has a lot in common with LitRPG genre things but it's executed slightly differently.

This one was a lot of fun. Excited to see what Jason gets up to with all this new power and people to settle the score with.

The structure of this one feels a bit strange. The author does warn of this up front, but all that does is call attention to it. It almost feels like it should have been two books instead of two halves.

This was a lot of fun. It's a poor substitute for the continuation of the animated show, but the book really keeps the spirit alive. The art is amazing and I'll always love Mariner's nearly fourth-wall breaking references to Trek lore.

This one didn't grab me as hard as the last, but it remains an incredibly fun tale. Love to catch up with Jason, and of course the cliffhanger has me coming right back for 11.

Just didn't grab me, unfortunately. I'm sure some of the stories are fine but as an anthology I wasn't excited to pick it up and read.

This series is really picking up steam now. I'm loving the feeling of a level 1 to 20 dnd campaign as the characters start to gain god like powers.

Some more good stuff here. I'm excited to see Jason continue to overstep his bounds.

Kuang writes another banger with Katabasis. I really enjoyed this book, the themes of which didn't resonate as hard with me as the themes in Babel did but were explored in fascinating ways by the author. In many ways it felt like a modern day retelling of Dante's Inferno, with scholars instead of poets sent through Hell.
