Book Review: Storm


Book: Storm (issues #1-6) by Eric Jerome Dickey with illustrations by David Yardin and Lan Medina and color by Matt Milla

Source: Library

Rating: 4 stars

Library:

This was a very intense story. It centered around Ororo Munroe (Storm) from when she was a little girl living with her parents to when she was a teenager orphaned and homeless living among a group of other children in the same situation. They were taught to steal as a way to survive.

One day an attempted theft put her and all who know her in harms way. It also revealed her mutant powers to those who would take advantage of it. But it also caught the attention of the young Prince T'Challa (Black Panther) who was in the area.

I thought this was a really interesting and well-written story. Storm's life has never been easy and this story shows just how difficult it was for her.

Currently Reading: Ghost Hunt vol #1 (for Book Club), Storm and Green Arrow vol #2

I'm cutting it a little close for reading Ghost Hunt for the July reading for one of my book clubs. As for both Green Arrow and Storm, those are two books I have been wanting to read for a while.



Book: Ghost Hunt volume #1 by Shiho Inada, story by Fuyumi Ono

Description:

The decrepit building was condemned long ago, but every time the owners try to tear it down, “accidents” start to happen–people get hurt, sometimes even killed. Mai Taniyama and her classmates have heard the rumors that the creepy old high school is haunted–possibly by ghosts from the Second World War. So one rainy day they gather at the told school to tell ghost stories, hoping to attract one of the suspected spirits.

No ghosts materialize, but Mai and her friends do meet Kazuya Shibuya, the handsome young owner of Shibuya Psychic Research, who’s been hired to investigate paranormal activity at the school. Also at the scene are an exorcist, a Buddhist monk, a woman who can speak with the dead, and an outspoken Shinto priestess. Surely one of them will have the talents to solve this mystery. . . .
