Kill Six Billion Demons III: “Seeker of Thrones” (part one)

The saga of Allison "Kill Six Billion Demons" Wanda Ruth, known locally as Killy, as she attempts to rescue her sort-of-boyfriend from the seven sorcerer-kings of the cosmos and maybe accidentally become God or something while she's at it continues now!

Astro City II #10: “Show 'Em All”

He kinda reminds me of Vermin Supreme, just a little bit.

Of Want and Will (K6BD book 2 analysis)

This volume has a lot going on in it, both in terms of worldbuilding and story progression, and in themes and subtext. With the intricacy of the story and cast both sharply increasing after the end of book one, it's also tricky to organize into a single thesis.

Which, honestly, may be part of the point, because Kill Six Billion Demons is a postmodernist work in both the literary and the political sense.

“Ex Machina” #2

The NYPD threatening the democratically elected mayor into not "stepping on their toes." What a far-out, fantastical premise.

Kill Six Billion Demons II: “Wielder of Names” (part four)

Mottom ended up being a much weirder and wackier character than I anticipated, though it remains to be seen how much of that is performative.

Kill Six Billion Demons II: “Wielder of Names” (part one)

Where last we left off, the young woman whose family and friends foolishly think of as Allison Wanda Ruth rather than her true name of Kill Six Billion Demons (Wanda Ruth) had just returned to Throne to rescue her sort-of-boyfriend Zaid from the dark masters of the multiverse.

Chainsaw Man #1: “Dog & Chainsaw”

There really is no avant-garde like Japanese avant-garde, is there? I'm not sure if this is funny or exciting or ironic or...what. It makes me want to read more, at least for the time being, but I can't really put my finger on why it makes me want to read more.
