Being a Marvel fan can be weird and a bit of a struggle because people will be like, “Oh, so you like [insert character here]? Do you like the comic version or the MCU version better?” and I’m just like
“How do I explain that the character that I like isn’t from just one source? How do I explain that they’re a mixture of all of my favorite qualities and characteristics found in every source of Marvel media I can get my hands on, from the comics to the movies, to the animated series and to every great fanart and fanfic I’ve seen? How do I explain how I’ve pulled pieces of the different versions of this character and created a new design in my head that is similar to the others but not quite the same? How do I explain that I enjoy a certain part of the character’s canon in one source, but will disregard another piece of canon and replace it with something I like from another source. I don’t just like the character, I’ve reconstructed them to something that the movies and comics don’t get. Maybe they’ll never get it. Some parts of the fandom gets it. We’ve all reconstructed the characters in a certain way, recreating but not stripping away what defines the characters we love. I know them in a way you never will.”
But I’ll never really say anything thing that unhinged, so I’ll resort to, “A bit of both, haha.”

"Delicious in Dungeon" Volume 1 by Ryoko Kui
Tumblr media
(Grade 7 and up) Years ago, a golden kingdom was sealed underground by a mad magician. With his dying breath, the king of this mysterious land willed his entire kingdom to whoever can defeat the magician. Now, adventurers venture into the dangerous world of the dungeons, seeking their fortunes and doing battle with strange and powerful creatures! But whether you're a fighter, magic user, picklock, or other class, there's one thing that everyone needs: food. And no matter how experienced or skilled you are, fighting hungry can lead to disaster.
After Laios and his party are forced back above ground in the wake of battling a dragon, two things are clear: the first is that his little sister, Falin, has been eaten! And the next is that she can still be revived, if the party can reach her before she's digested. However, that means there's no time to go back to town for more supplies. So when Marcille and Chilchuck agree to follow Laios back underground, he explains that there's only one way for them to survive: start eating monsters. Good thing their new friend Senshi is full of culinary prowess! Check out this hit series about battling fearsome beasts and then turning them into tasty meals. (4.5 out of 5 stars)

"Happy Kanako's Killer Life" Volume 2 Story & Art by Toshiya Wakabayashi
Tumblr media
(Grade 8 and up) Nishino Kanako hasn't been an assassin for long, but she's already making waves in the underworld. With her knack for fading into the scenery (she still dresses like the average office worker, after all), and her skills as a marksman (playing a lot of video games as a kid apparently helped her become a good shot), Kanako's building quite the reputation...which isn't necessarily what you want in the dangerous world of contract killers! Still, Kanako's doing fine: sure, she can't tell her mom about what she really does at her new job, and the idea of marriage and family seems impossible, but at least she has a job she's good at!
As her confidence grows, Kanako has a harder time ignoring the evils of the world. Of course, not every problem can be solved with violence, and just because someone's a sexist jerk doesn't mean you can kill them. (Right?) It doesn't help that she's attracted the attention of the police, though not in exactly the way she was expecting. Does Detective Takehara suspect Kanako of murder...or does he want to ask her out?! And what's up with her coworker, Sakurai-san? Kanako's adventures continue in this full-color comedy about assassins and...maybe...romance?! (4 out of 5 stars)

"A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?" by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith
Tumblr media
(Grade 8 and up) While space settlements are a staple of science fiction, they aren't a reality just yet. But since we really are closer than ever to plans for colonies on the moon and Mars, and as billionaires launch rockets into space, Kelly (a scientist) and Zach (a cartoonist) Weinersmith have some questions. Big questions, like how we're actually going to decide, as humans on earth, what dividing land and resources on other celestial bodies will entail; what growing up in space might be like; and if the first Mars pioneers will be surviving on a diet of crickets.
It turns out that looking beyond the cool concept of living on other planets means diving into subjects like the history of Antarctica (and the babies born there), who owns what on the moon (including poop bags left behind by Apollo astronauts), and the legal ramifications of building human settlements in space. Also, there's the small issue of space being extremely deadly. With characteristic humor and thorough research, the Weinersmiths have written a book for everyone interested in space settlement, including (or especially) those skeptical of the whole endeavor. (5 out of 5 stars)
