Runaways #8 - Marvel Monday

Eat My 54-Year-Old Muffin

Writer: Rainbow RowellArtist: Kris AnkaPublisher: Marvel ComicsRelease Date: April 4, 2018Cover Price: $3.99

Runaways is a very character driven comic that is steeped in its past while it builds towards its future. But it doesn't allow its past to confuse its present. I have never read runaways up till this current run. I look forward to reading past issues in my future. But for right now I hope you sit back and enjoy the present as I read you this review I wrote the other day.

Champions #19 Review - Marvel Monday

Champions Congregate!

Writer: Jim ZubArtist: Sean IzaaksePublisher: Marvel ComicsRelease Date: April 11, 2018Cover Price: $3.99
I have not read any of the previous 18 issues of The Champions but I hear they do good things. So when I saw on the cover 1st ISSUE OF AN EXCITING NEW ERA! at the comics store, I said to myself Fresh Start bitches and picked it up. I am at least somewhat familiar with the characters involved. I have either read about some of these characters in their own titles or in other team books I have been introduced to them.  Now let's see if the Art and Story can get me to care about this team and this comic.
