I always enjoy finding out what others are reading, so I thought I'd start this month's.

I just finished One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg. "Hero" is a wonderful feminist Arabian Nights-type graphic novel. To keep a sexist pig (one of many) from ravishing her friend on a bet, Hero tells irresistible stories, including the moon coming to Earth and finding romance. I wasn't familiar with Greenberg before, but now I'm going to find her The Encyclopedia of Early Earth.

Oops - What Are You Reading, not Your. :-)

>1 jnwelch: I read The Encyclopedia of Early Earth late last year and enjoyed it quite a bit; it sounds like I ought to check out Hero, too.

Tonight my graphic novel book club is discussing Wonder Woman: A Celebration of 75 Years; we picked it in honor of the movie release. Beyond that, I've recently read Mirror: The Mountain, which has fabulous art, and Nowhere Men, Vol. 1, which is great but is mostly setup rather than a self-contained arc. And I just got Castle Waiting: The Lucky Road from the library on a whim.

>3 Euryale: Yes, if you liked The Encyclopedia of Early Earth (I've gotten further in it), One Hundred Nights of Hero should be your cuppa.

Imagine Wanting Only This was okay, but not as good as I hoped. Lots of drawing talent, but the story just kind of petered out.

I've read Thanos: The Infinity Revelation, which is classified as a "Original Graphic Novel" but is actually the first part of a 3 issue mini-series. Jim Starlin is drawing as good as always and this story has a good cliffhanger.

I don't know if the kids that are hooked on Marvel films will like it, but it is recommended for those who likes Starlin's things!

I finished Jupiter's Circle Vol. 2. Again we have a shot at the prequel of Jupiter's Legacy with that 60s/ 70s feel, with Alex Toth-like art. The plus are cameos by Ayn Rand and William Burroughs and the whole pop culture and historical context.

Fun read!

>7 jnwelch: I felt the same way; it just felt colder than most of the memoirs I've read, somehow.
