Review: My Hero Academia, Vol. 11

My Hero Academia, Vol. 11 My Hero Academia, Vol. 11 by Kohei Horikoshi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wowzers wow wow. This volume marks a turning point in the series!!! (view spoiler) I guess I'm still talking in my All Might voice, even now, a whole volume since my last review! Am I annoying? Probably! Do I care? Not really!!!

It kind of still feels the same though, like nothing's really changed, especially with those chill last couple chapters. Which is neither a bad nor good thing, just an observation. Actually I'll go ahead and say it's a good thing. This series remains great! But I want more Kacchan please, thank you.

I feel wary of the next volume though. They're making up their special moves? I dunno, it seems too similar to things that have already been done before (picking names...) So I feel like it won't have the same charm. Hopefully I am wrong!

(view spoiler)

I love these covers that crop up every few volumes, these close-ups of all the best characters. As an artist, these are my favorite covers because I can more easily see the beautiful details of the drawings. Also because they're intense and awesome as frick.
Volume 5, 7, and 11 covers, respectively(Mouse-over images to view sources)

It's the middle of the night and I don't have enough brain cells left to write a proper review. Ah.

Review: The Art of the Adventures of Tintin

The Art of the Adventures of Tintin by Chris Guise My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Art of The Adventures of Tintin was even better than I could have ever dreamed. This is my first "Art of" book, and I kind of knew what I was getting into but I was still surprised. I didn't even mean to start reading this when I started reading this. We were given an assignment in art class to design a poster for the school play and I really had no ideas. I remembered that these "Art of" books are full of concept art so I decided to flip through this one. Well, next thing I knew I wasn't just flipping through it, I was completely engrossed in it. I flipped to the first page and started properly reading it. This book was a good reading experience. Right off the bat Chris Guise lets the reader know that he's not going to bombard you with text, that he's gonna let the art do most of the talking and he's going to make the best "Ar...

Review: Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War

Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War by Linda F. McGreevy My rating: 0 of 5 stars This is a very unique and interesting academic text. There are no other examinations of the German artist Otto Dix, his war experience, and his war-related art that are quite as in-depth as this one, while also covering a wide range of different aspects and angles of not only the artist's story, but also the Great War's. I used this as a source for a University research essay I wrote on the effects of Dix's war experience on the creation and effects of his painting Skat Players (1920). I was very late in starting my research so I unfortunately had to stick to only reading the information I could use for my own examination, rather than being able to devour this book in its entirety. However, the library requires this book be returned at the end of January of next year, so I have some time now to actually finish this book since the semester has finished...

Review: Spells & Sleeping Bags

Spells & Sleeping Bags by Sarah Mlynowski My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was infuriating. Miri was super annoying during book 2, but she started this book off with some funny burns toward Rachel which made me think maybe she would be better in this book. Ha. No. She wasn’t. Miri. Oh Miri Miri Miri. So dumb. And it was annoying how it seemed like she didn’t even learn anything from the last book. She’s still all about saving the world and whatnot and being a dumbass. And she talked about poofing up money to help her help people, which is extremely illogical because she knows that poofing up money means she’s stealing money from somewhere else. Way to “help” out the world you fucking idiot. For the majority of this book I reckon she was under some kind of “emotion amplifying” spell but honestly that’s no excuse since she’s still her dumbass self. (view spoiler) [Her figuring out that Fake Rachel wasn’t real Rachel was nice and all but felt a bit...
