• What are you currently reading?
Nothing.

• What did you recently finish reading?
Young Avengers #5: And so the first arc comes to an end, & everyone is a team & they're going off in a spaceship (?!). I don't really care where they're going or what they're doing, so I guess that means I should take it off my pull list, lol.
I might follow up later, when it's at the library or something.
I REALLY could have used a trigger warning for Billy's pages, too, jfc.

Avengers: The Enemy Within #1: This is the beginning of the Captain Marvel crossover event. This was okay, mostly like reading another of Captain Marvel, with special appearances by Spider Woman & Thor.
Carol coping with a chronic illness is what makes her character compelling to me.

The Last of Us #2: Still really digging this. I love Faith's art. Starting to dread the end of this prequel mini-arc, because the storyline will continue in a PS3 video game and I don't have a PS3 ^^;;;

Angel & Faith #22, What You Want, Not What You Need part 2 - So, the entire season has been leading up to this. Giles is resurrected after all, with all his memories and knowledge...in the body of a 12-year-old boy. Something that's actually interesting!
As the apocalypse is nigh (again) & everyone prepares, I find myself really attached to this group of people. I hope there's more after this season ends, whether in a continuation of Angel & Faith or back with the main Buffy title.

X-Men #1 - This is the new series that Brian Wood is writing, which caused a stir a few months ago when the cover just showed six women. ONLY WOMEN HOW CAN IT BE?! Anyway, my familiarity with the X-Men universe is pretty minimal. I saw the X-Men movies maybe once each, like a decade ago? (or whenever they came out lol)
This issue includes Rogue, Storm, Jubilee, Kitty Pryde & some other people, but I don't really know who any of them are.
THAT SAID, I love the art, I'm interested in the story, & I think I'll be sticking around for a while.

Lifelode by Jo Walton - I really liked this. I wish I was in a better headspace & able to say more about it.
It's the first time I've finished a novel in a while. And just...yeah. I love Taveth.
Still a little uncomfortable with the concept of a "lifelode," but overall I really loved it.

• What do you think you’ll read next?
idk.
