Month in Review(s) - August 2017

August. Yeah, August...

August, for me, was stressful.

My 88-year-old grandfather was very unwell and ended up in hospital, he's better now but we still have to do a lot to make sure he and my grandmother are safe, happy, and as healthy as they can be.

Comics Wrap-Up - Taking Back the Crown

TV Trailers

Another Inhumans trailer!

And Medusa has had a hair-cut 😲 (In case you were wondering, her hair is her power, so that's kind of a big deal!)

Comics Wrap-Up - Girl, You've Got To Be What Tomorrow Needs

TV Trailers

Another trailer for Marvel's Inhumans! (Woo!)

(And I'm totally loving Iwan Rheon in this already!)

Comics Wrap-Up - Miss Atomic Bomb

Film Trailers and Films

I'm actually gonna give you some slightly older trailers for two based-on-comics films I've seen over the past two weeks*

*Yes, two films in two weeks. I bought a year cinema pass, so I literally go there every week; after the first 20 films, it's paid for itself.

And I've seen like 24 or 25 now. If you're a movie fan, maybe look at similar deals where you are? #BudgetTipsWithCee - lol! ;)

Comics Wrap-Up - Live Without the Sunlight

TV Trailers

Another little video clip for Marvel's Inhumans!!!! (Iwan Rheon totally rocks dammit!!!)

Comics Wrap-Up - Everything Is Average Nowadays

Film Trailers

Marvel has given us a tiny (ha, tiny!) teaser that Ant-Man & Wasp is now in production :)

Month in Review(s) - July 2017

July was a big month for this little book nerd's blog!

This was the month that Diary of a Reading Addict (DORA) became Dora Reads - with a custom URL to match.

It's something that'd been on my mind for a while, and I'm so glad I did it!

Comics Wrap-Up - Heroes Always Get Remembered

Lots of stuff for you this week! The big companies always release lots of goodies @ San Diego Comic Con (SDCC,) so we've got some fab new trailers: a selection of which I've given you here.

There's also some other stuff that I've come across in my comics-y web-wanderings, as per usual :)

Comics Wrap-Up - Least the Ones That I Got Away With

All the good sh** from comics-land is being held back until San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC.)

So my news is a little thin on the ground this week, but still delivered with a smile :)

Everything also comes under the 'Other Stuff' category, because... well, I blame Loki. It's usually his fault.

Comics Wrap Up - With Your Back To The Wall

Film Trailers

Just a li'l Spider Man: Homecoming trailer for you this week.

I actually saw this film with The Bestie™ on Monday - and I have to say that I loved it :)

Comics Wrap-Up - Just Because We Left Our Guns At The Door...

TV Trailers

The First trailer for Marvel's Inhumans is here!

Comics Wrap-Up - If You Carry On This Way

Film Trailers

Maybe this is more of a publicity stunt than a trailer, but meh, my blog my rules.

See what happens when Spider-Man freaks the hell out of a bunch of people at a coffee shop in New York.

(I have to admit that my fave reactions are the ones that are just like, 'Hey, how you doing?')

Comics Wrap-Up - What a Catch

Film Trailers

Some little Spider-Man: Homecoming trailers this week (well, some are from before this week, but... semantics)!

They tie-in with NBA finals - which is... I wanna say basketball...? Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Warning: Some flashing images.

Comics Wrap-Up - Those Jet-Pack Blues

Film Trailers

The first teaser trailer for The Black Panther hit and IT LOOKS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!

Comics Wrap-Up - Where Were You When All of the Embers Fell?

Graphic Novels

This week, I read Doom Patrol, Volume 1: Brick by Brick, one of the DC Young Animal/Gerard Way titles.

And yes, I bl**dy loved it!

(Amazon: UK - US)

It's already out in the US and will be out in the UK on the 13th - so my review will be appearing sometime on or around the UK release date (I haven't decided precisely when yet.)

If you're a fan of surreal-ness and/or any of Gerard Way's other comics, you're gonna love it.
