Been reading Psyren, Yugioh GX 5D's and Zexal, and Bakuman.
Starting off with yugioh Zexal, it starts off exactly the same as the anime but then goes into original territory once the later part of volume 2 happens with the Black Corn Xyz showing up. I'm really interested to see where this goes and I heard that there's a manga exclusive Utopia (the main monster the main character, Yuma, uses) upgrade coming up.

Horns is improving...ish. You see I'm just used to fast paced, action led novels, like movies in book form, so it's kinda hard for me to get around how static, slow and dialogue heavy this book is.
Many confrontations stretch out with barely a movement at all, with the few included seemingly there to frame sentences rather than drive anything else. I mean the book is coming together, and getting fairly interesting because of it but when you're used to wizards in sweatpants blasting werewolves through buildings, a few harsh words and a bit of a rough and tumble in a carpark is hard to get excited for.

Bakuman volumes 9 and 10.
I love how the Tanto arc reminds me that Takagi can't magically create amazing writing all the time. So no we know that both Masahiro and Takagi aren't super human. Although, I don't know how the hell Masahiro doesn't get hand cramps after drawing manga for 5 years. When the main plot got back into motion in Volume 10, it stopped all of the fun subplots. i don't know if its just me, but Bakuman was at its best when it was mostly about the subplots of the other characters and their interactions with each other. This new dude writing True Human seems kinda useless to the plot, only being used as a device to scare Aroshogi into not using the World is about MIA again. All of the other manga artists haven't really done anything. Granted, at the end of the last chapter of the volume, we do see some set up with Hattori and the Otter No 11 and True Human guys. |

Just started reading Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon volume 3 and I'm already at the end of the original manga version of the Dark Kingdom arc. I have been enjoying the series so far and on another note, Sailor Venus really kicks ass in this.

Read Time Riders 4 earlier this week in one sitting. Damn, I forgot how addictive this series can be. Got 5 reserved at the library, and got 6 out so it doesn't disappear!

Just caught up with and finished Dance in the Vampire Bund this week.
Wow I am not happy with that ending. It really wasn't one anyways. I'm happy to see there's a sequel series... but then after seeing how it's already been going on for a year and nothing's been scanlated yet, I've not got hope for seeing that any time soon. It took forever just for the original, and even then a lot of it was pretty poor...

First 7 issues of Ultimate Spiderman and volumes 9 and 10 of Psyren.
First few issues of Ultimate Spiderman I got major amounts of deja vu when I read these issues, because they were the basis of the origins for Peter in the Amazing Spiderman movie. Though this comic has my favorite version of uncle Ben, why? Because Ponytails. And it has my least favorite version of Peter because his hair makes him look like a hippie. I am really interested in the new monster that showed up, I knew it wasn't Lizard but I spoiled myself by accidentally flipping to the back of the book revealing to be Green goblin. My library district doesn't have the second collection containing issues 14-26 so I'm going to have to use the library my friend goes to to read more. Psyren volumes 9 and 10. So in volume 9, the main plot becomes save Nemesis Q's creator from Big Boss, I mean that suspicious looking dude from chapter 1 that wanted to take Ageha's card. It was an okay fight with Ageha using his new power of the Melez shield. And we find out who the creator of the Psyren game is...... a new character. I thought when I first saw her in the tube, it was Amiyama's mentor, I mean she did disappear relativity soon after Rebirthday ahppen to never be seen again. So in my mind, she maybe built up her Psionic powers and then got physically harmed, so she created Nemisis Q and put herself in the game so her from the past could learn how Psionic powers worked and teach people how to use their powers they could save the future. But nope, just some random woman born with Psionic powers who was the twin of the villain. I went on Wikipedia and found out this series has 16 Volumes so I hope in the next 5 volumes, they wrap up the story relativity well. I don't think it will considering there's four more villains to blow through, fights usually take multiple chapters along with the resolution of character developments and stopping Psyren from happening. And there was a bonus comic at the end of volume 10 featuring a the main character from a manga about a toddler who doesn't wear underwear. Ageha and Amiayama talk to his mom in the present and some characters in Psyren at the time passed by the same kid grown up, still wearing no underwear. WHAT THE EVER FLYING FUCK. |
