Wow, this was just weird and bad in a way that was not at all fun.

A woman was "blond" on one page, another woman was "blonde" on the next. I understand it's a needlessly gendered word, but at least be consistent?

There's not even anything wrong with this, but I was never able to get through more than a handful of pages at a time before losing interest.

It's possible I will come back to this another time, but I just really can't hang with the writing style rn.

Maybe the right book, but definitely the wrong time. 

Black Cloak Volume 1

Didn't care for the art so much and didn't feel like renewing when my library loan was due.

I love splatterpunk. I love cosmic horror. I love weird shit. 

I did NOT love this. Disjointed and difficult to follow (in a bad way) and I found myself not caring enough to keep going.

I have tried, like, six times to read this fuckin book bc it seems like EVERYONE loves it. I am officially giving up for good. Can't even bring myself to get past the halfway point so I can use it for Bingo.

Sometimes I read something without quotation marks and it works so well I don't even notice. Others I am painfully aware of every missing one. This is the latter.
