Another volume full of fantastic character designs and interesting modern-day interpretations on the Greek pantheon. Like with the first volume, the art is distinctive and striking. I'm still really enjoying Diana herself, and the balance between str...more |

| The first half of this tackles Nite Owl's origin story, much of which was already pretty well explained that it felt a little repetitive (plus, some Rorschach as he's featured decently heavy in here). Still, there's some interesting looks into Nite O...more | |

| A solid dysptopian that has a similar premise to the classic The Whipping Boy, but spread across an entire broken society. In this world, rich "patrons" can buy the debts of orphans and have them serve as a Proxy whenever their children misbehave. Th...more | |

For something that I knew so obviously was going to be a retread of the Hunger Games, I was pleasantly surprised that Charbonneau took on a lot of twists of the formula and threw in some unique ideas that made this all the more fun to read. The writin...more |

| There's some really neat aspects to this--a corrupt king that felt modeled off of Henry VIII if he'd been willing to also murder all of his non-male children, mysterious magic, a girl who doesn't age, and of course the central mystery of who Tucker S...more | |
“I wanted to cry.
I also wanted to go to my laboratory and prepare an enormous batch of nitrogen triiodide with which to blow up, in a spectacular mushroom cloud of purple vapor, the world and everyone in it.”

“Eldric turned away from the mirror, holding out his hand. In the cup of his hand lay his fidget of paper clips. But the fidget had blossomed into a crown. An allover-filigree crown, with a twisty spire marking the front.
I stared at it for some moments. "It's for you," said Eldric. "If you want it."
"I'm seventeen," I said. "I haven't played at princess for years."
"Does that matter ?" Eldric set it on my head. It was almost weightless, a true crown for the steam age.
In a proper story, antagonistic sparks would fly between Eldric and me, sparks that would sweeten the inevitable kiss on page 324. But life doesn't work that way. I didn't hate Eldric, which, for me, is about as good as things get.”
