UHH maybe only worth reading if you have mad nostalgia for Golden Age Batman. Or have to read Golden Age Batman for your comics class. Basically, kitschy and moderately entertaining but if it hadn't been for class I probably would have stopped after 30 pages or so. The storytelling just doesn't really hold up.

Please don't murder me, Batman fans.

I think this held up better than Golden Age Batman. I enjoyed it, though it's still kitschy of course, with plenty of unintentional hilarity. (Like how after Zemo sprays the city with super adhesive glue, the Wasp goes to find "Paste-Pot Pete" to save the day. Thank God for Paste-Pot Pete!) It is a LOT of comics and my interest waned toward the end--but maybe that's just because Iron Man and the Wasp both left the team halfway through. (Also the Hulk and Ant-Man, but I care less about them.)

I really enjoyed this, especially after my crash-course in 60s-era Avengers. Super happy that the Wasp was around, being totally awesome. I didn't know all the characters who ended up on the new team (picked by Tony Stark, led by Ms Marvel) but I enjoyed their interactions. The dialogue (and thought bubbles) tended to be very funny, except for when SERIOUS PROBLEMS AROSE, as they so often do.

I was listening to the audiobook of this but it was on my iPod that got stolen awhile ago. But it didn't really grab me enough to make me want to re-acquire it. SORRY MEG.

Maybe some day I will read this for real.

This is maybe 3.5 stars but I rounded up because, Buffy. Felt very true to the series, with a lot of its humor. Uhh if you like Buffy you will probably like these comics?

Really well done graphic memoir. Sexuality! Literature! Symbolism! Hooray!

Great book if you are into gross symptoms and stuff. I'm not really but I also appreciated the decently complex historical views presented, especially for a children's/YA history book.

Ehhhh I read this after I read [b:An American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793|46727|An American Plague The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793|Jim Murphy|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170343104s/46727.jpg|45822] (both assigned for class; I'm not suddenly obsessed with yellow fever or anything) and this wasn't as richly detailed or compelling as the nonfiction story. The protagonist also felt fairly anachronistic.

Pretty good? A little slow to start, but ultimately a sad, sweet, and revealing look at the Cold War Soviets. Also very sad, even though you pretty much know how it ends. But it's worse to know all the reasons why Laika died (they rushed the whole thing b/c they wanted a dog in space on the 40th anniversary of the revolution, there was no way to even try to get her back down).
