posted in uncategorized 4 comments friday face off march 8 2019 posted on march 8 2019 by bookwraiths welcome to the friday face off a weekly meme created by books by proxy join us every friday as we pit cover against cover and publisher against publisher to find the best artwork in the literary universe if you want to join in the fun check out next week s predetermined theme choose a book compare two or more different covers available for that book then name your favorite a list of future weeks themes are available at lynn s book blog this week s theme is two little fishes and a momma fishy too a cover featuring a fish fishes or other sea creatures well my first week back on the blogging circuit and i m already struggling with a theme no sff titles i remember have anything at all to do with this so excuse me while i go do some research on the old goodreads bookshelf and see what i can find just give me a minute it won t take long thanks for waiting that took a little longer than i expected and the winner is a tie listen i had to pick the cover on the left because it reminds me so much of the sff scene back in the 1980s where you d walk up and down the bookshelves looking at all the weird eye catching covers also the image on the cover actually comes straight from the story strange as that might seem the cover on the right is just cool to me plus it actually mixes together several elements of the story like the sun moon clock and the water which is in its favor so do you agree with my picks disagree love all the covers hate them all let us know share this share on x

comments mister miracle posted on march 7 2019 by bookwraiths mister miracle by tom king genre superhero comics series mister miracle 1 12 publisher dc comics february 19 2019 author info twitter length 320 pages my rating 2 stars never having been a huge fan of mister miracle or the new gods i went into this read with no preconceived expectations sure i had a passing idea of who mister miracle was a superhero escape artist from new genesis whose dad was the highfather of the new gods imagine odin but who was reared on the hellish world of apokolips as part of a peace treaty other than that i truly knew nothing about this guy and never had really cared to learn more but there was so much wild cheering about how amazing this mini series was that i decided to give it a go once i popped open mister miracle i very quickly learned that scott free might have amazing powers a wife he adores and celebrity status as the greatest escape artist ever but he has problems i m not a psychologist but the dude seems to have a touch of ptsd rad daddy issues mommy issues depression issues self esteem issues and a host of other mental health problems all of it leaving him feeling trapped so naturally scott free does what he does best when he is trapped he escapes his method this time around committing suicide you see what the writer did there a superhero escape artist escaping his problems by committing suicide that s clever isn t it subverts standard superhero themes of heroism accountability and personal fortitude postmodernist literature at its best but wait it gets better you see scott the escape artist who committed suicide then performs an even greater escape he escapes death by not dying omg that is even more clever right but wait there is more did scott actually succeed in his plan perhaps scott miscalculated his daring escape from death and is actually dead the events which occur after his brush with the eternal hereafter merely a post death purgatory of sorts or maybe scott is in a coma dreaming it all or he could still be bleeding out on the floor hallucinating all this as his life slowly seeps away each and every one of these possibilities terrifying on the other hand scott might just be alive dealing with the aftermath of his actions his attempted suicide beginning a chain reaction of events which ultimate leads to war between new genesis and apokolips many wonderful horrifying and bizarre events taking place all along the way thereafter scott and his wife barda attempting to deal with all this while maintaining a normal life on earth this unusual balancing act of ordinary and brutal the main theme throughout as mister miracle contemplates deep philosophical thoughts acts like a emotional scared man child and bores the hell out of you along the way so what did i think of the book well it starts out well enough i guess s cott free s characterization as an emotional unstable weak man who has daddy issues and mommy issues and depression issues and a whole bunch of other issues was different unique even honestly i can t recall ever reading a superhero comic where the lead was this uninspiring emotionally screwed up or pathetic and the whole mystery surrounding his suicide was intriguing so at the very least this story had a nice setup which made me want to crowd around with everyone else and watch where it went from there though the whole plot sort of sputtered for me there were some highs and some lows along the way to the end some cool twists some dumb plots mostly the art was fairly meh and uninspiring though others might find it more to their liking and the conclusion tried too hard to twist expectations round and round be emotionally thought provoking yet failed to do either listen i know my review is going against the consensus i realize most comic readers love this series adore this writer and that it has won major comic awards truly i m as disappointed in not loving mister miracle as much as some of you are in me not giving it a 5 star rating but unfortunately the story as a whole did not maintain the high level of its beginning failed to capitalize on its unique premises and didn t really surprise in its conclusion really i m glad you enjoyed it more than me but i have to call it like i see it which is mister miracle is merely an okay comic story nothing more

shocked me horrified me even just a few years ago because i grew up a marvel zombie and have seen every mcu not only in theaters but on opening weekends yet after all these years i ve grown tired of the mcu and its direction the word direction probably will make most people assume i m speaking about brie larson and the swirling controversy around her statements about white men and so forth but i m not sure i ve read them heard people talk about them but they have nothing to do with my decision because the only reason i go to see movies is if they look interesting and captain marvel just doesn t let me just go point by point attempting to explain a few reasons why this film has not captured my interest one i grew up reading marvel comics primarily in the late 1970s through the mid 1990s during those years there was another captain marvel monica rambeau this woman carried the mantle for years fighting alongside the avengers and leading them at one point and no she wasn t in any way connected to mar vell of the kree but she was a very powerful character in her own right so this is my captain marvel which means i m not really interested in seeing her replaced by another version two i don t really like cosmic films in the mcu sure i enjoyed guardians of the galaxy but that was due to the humor group camaraderie and the music all the aliens spaceships and cosmic stuff bored me to tears that is probably why i enjoyed guardians vol 2 less than i did the first since it focused so much on the cosmic aspects and it is probably why when i heard captain marvel was going to be a cosmic marvel film i yawned three i ve grown bored with the formula for marvel films in the last year or so ant man and the wasp the latest example and probably my least favorite mcu film rating below even the incredible hulk and doctor strange because it was a damn carbon copy of every other mcu movie i ve seen in the last ten years i say this to make clear i m pretty much tired of the same old same old from marvel and from early reviews captain marvel is serving up the tried and true mcu kool aid again four this ret conning of mcu history sure the writers might find a way to wedge captain marvel into the mcu timeline explain where she has been and why nick fury never felt a need to summon her during previous world cataclysmic events but why go to all this trouble the mcu has been developed over a decade seamlessly meshes together and isn t riddled with alternate timelines mirror dimensions and other strange idiosyncracies which will not work with generic moviegoers this whole rewriting of mcu history is just annoying as crap five i m tired of nick fury listen i ve always liked this character enjoyed his cameos and i can understand why marvel thought adding a young nick in as a buddy cop angle might help this standard origin film problem is i don t care to know any more about nick fury part of this guy s gravitas and mystique has always been not knowing everything about him so why marvel wants to ruin that i don t understand six i hate to say it but i view captain marvel as the ex deus machina marvel has pulled out of their proverbial butts to fix the delicate situation avengers infinity war has put them in honestly we have half of the mcu along with half the universe obliterated with a snap of thanos golden hand and now this mess has to be fixed in some coherent way to allow the mcu to move forward in a bold new direction the problem being i m afraid cap marvel is just being set up to be this overpowered demigod who fixes things which will be boring seven i don t like the soundtrack for this film at all i know i know the soundtrack isn t even out yet but i m already dismissing it out of hand but hear me out here the simple fact is i really don t like 90s music didn t like it then don t like it now honestly i struggled during the 90s to find any bands i enjoyed listening to and the ones i did follow back then i don t really like much now so the idea of 90s music in the film horrifies me eight i m not much for nostalgia simply put i lived through the last several decades and don t feel a need to watch a documentary or film devoted to them so when i ve noticed that captain marvel tries to play up the 90s nostalgia angle it has turned me off since i lived through the 90s sure i guess they were good in a lot of ways but they were not perfect by any measure so i really can t see what disney is selling here nine captain marvel s trailers have not been very exciting for me personally and have not compared very favorably with another superhero film soon to be released that film being shazam the original captain marvel no i haven t gotten a special showing of the next dceu film but it looks extremely funny and lots of fun from the trailers it s light hearted laughs a lot more appealing to me than the rather bland mcu captain marvel ten captain marvel has a tough act to follow in the superhero department many might believe i m referring to avengers infinity war or ant man and the wasp here but i am actually speaking about james wan s aquaman this was not only a very good origin story visually stunning filled with loads of fighting and more than a few laughs but it also had some solid performances by jason momoa who made aquaman cool somehow and patrick wilson who was a smooth complex villain whom you hated but also understood anyway i ll be eager to read what my friends all have to say about this film and i do wonder if any of my concerns are felt by anyone else i ll definitely watch captain marvel once it hits netflix or my local redbox but i just am not excited enough about this story to shell out 50 00 100 00 for me and my sons to take this in at a weekend matinee share this share on x opens in new window
