Dive into the Trade Paperbacks

I won the Goodreads challenge of reading 50 books this year, and I've read enough to post reviews for the rest of the year, so I'm going to spend the next little bit reading comic books. 

Here's what's on the reading list and an honest account of what I know about them going in:

  • Saga- Two aliens from different races are in love despite how their people are at war.  They have a biracial baby, who she breastfeeds like it ain't no thing.  I approve!
  • All New Wolverine- Hugh Jackman-esque Wolverine was cloned, but his DNA got goofed up.  More specifically, his Y chromosome got goofed up, and the mad scientists responsible said, "Pft.  Whatever," and just duplicated his X chromosome.  All New Wolverine is just like Hugh Jackman Wolverine, only female.  She kicks ass and takes names and hangs out with one of her preteen clone sisters and an actual wolverine named Johnathan.
  • Journey into Mystery- Loki was deaged or reincarnated or something.  When Thor finds him, he's a teenager with no memory of his evilness, but everyone else is like, "Loki's evil.  Get rid of him."  And Thor's like, "No!  He's my brother and now he's adorable!"  Loki has a tumblr.
  • Sex Criminals- When some people reach orgasm, time stands still.  They use this skill to rob banks.  There's important discussion about the guilt and confusion and fear involved in sexual awakening.  But mostly there are dick jokes.
  • Sandman- There's a magic guy who controls dreams.  Hijinks ensue?  We only have the fist volume, so I will need to get more from the library.
