I stopped watching Riverdale in season 1 but I never miss a Caleb book. Good lord a lot of shit has happened! This book is completely contained, you do not need to watch to know what’s going on. Caleb gives you all the background. I love the ending!

I love that this book now has a matching graphic novel!

I read this but forgot to mark it as read. Love this series!

Claudia Gray is the queen of taking IP and turning it into gold (she also seems to live in a world without time because HOW DOES SHE DO IT ALL?!). To say I was excited for House of El: The Shadow Threat is an understatement. I’ve always been curious about the time before Superman came to Earth and this trilogy starter was out of this world!

This page turner kept my fully in the story, with action, worldbuilding, and captivating art. The book establishes this universe’s unique take on the House of El and establishes itself as part of Superman but not reliant on him.

The Shadow Threat takes on not only the clear political instability as Krypton gets to a boiling point but also the challenges of genetic engineering. Classism reigns in the world of those with and without modifications, mirroring the issues we would inevitably have with such an endeavor.

I too would like to know the truth about Krypton. A solid start to this series – I can’t wait to see what comes next!

TY DC Comics for sending me a copy of House of El: The Shadow Threat!

A cute kid’s adaption of the beginning of Light of the Jedi. I love that they told the story visually from the POV of a familiar species for kids. I loved the opening spread because it dropped you right in the action. I felt that terrified look, since I knew what was coming!

This was just absolutely adorable! Told in bite sized stories from the POV of a sibling dog-cat pair, With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day is Fun is one of the truest pet experience slice of life stories. As a person with 3 dogs and 2 cats, I found myself nodding a lot.

It was, as the title says, FUN.

So many plot holes from TROS tied up (and one from TESB, too!)

An excellent deep dive into Robin that shows how the normies handled everything in the first two seasons!

Also, the book starts and ends on my birth date so how can I not love it?

Definitely worth the modern educator's read!

For those of us living in the modern public space, this won't be new info.
