They declined so the heroes say goodbye to them, no longer interested in the affairs of mortals. The two newly-minted heroes invited their friends to join them in their quest. Loki especially can no longer tell a lie and considers himself absolved of all his crimes, even his betrayal of his younger self. Where once they were evil, they are now good (with their "good" qualities being also reversed so that they are "good" in a smug, self-righteous manner). Going back a few hours, Loki and Amora the Enchantress were trying to explain to their friends Verity Willis, Lorelei (Amora’s sister), and Sigurd how their personalities had been inverted by the magic spell in AXIS #3. The villains are vanquished and Loki is a hero…. Oddball hurls a larger bomb at Loki who draws his sword and bats it, as in baseball, back at the baddies where it releases its charge of knockout gas.

I couldn't connect with any of the characters. There were too many just-barely-out-of-date pop-culture references which made the author sound like he was trying to be all with-it but missed it by a month. To me, the story lacked warmth and accessibility. I also did not enjoy the ridiculous amount of music and literature references it felt like an extended book discussion. And that is why it took me so very long to finish the book I was constantly irritated with the non-genuine-sounding teenage girl. Actually, she didn't seem to have much of a personality at all, especially considering her circumstances. I felt the main character of this book did not have that voice, that 13-15 y/o stumbling through life voice. I read it during a phase of reading YA fiction with protagonists that were 13-15 years-old so I was fairly immersed in that point of view at that time. It took me a really looong time to get through this book. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Thieves by lucie bryon![]() ![]() Well, it turns out Lucie Bryon has a captivatingly funny solution in mind.

I remember trying to lose our copy of Thomas the Tank Engine before I had to read it again. “I guess I don’t subscribe to the twee school. Comics are better than easy readers.” Spiegelman offers an antidote to these books in Jack’s story of mastering his imagination vis-à-vis a new toy. ![]() ![]() Then there are these books that are sold like coal-they’re four bucks apiece and sold as the lowest-denominator retellings of Cinderella with images. It starts with the medicine version in school- See Dick run. “The books that are provided when that light goes on really suck. And then you’re like, Oh, I see! They just get it.” But the cartoonist has sharp words for the book industry. Until my kids got it, they didn’t get it. You have to crack the code and the system. When kids are 4 to 6, this reading thing happens. Spiegelman learned from his kids as he and Mouly worked together to create the Toon Books series: “It’s a classy version of easy readers. On November 22, Spiegelman will attend Books of Wonder’s Rollicking Picture Book Day event to read from his newest kids “comic,” Jack and the Box.
