And the secret's out! She like-likes the King of Shadows. Elesion might be a perpetual fourth grader in some of her whimsy, which actually makes her quite charming at times.

It just occurred to me that I could be posting about my attempt to read all of She-Hulk’s appearances so let me get caught up to where I am currently

Savage She-Hulk, 1st time with the Avengers, Contest of Champions, Secret Wars, Time with the Fantastic Four, Secret Wars II

Savage She-Hulk

Generally very nice

There was a letter on the letters page of #8 that was from a 7th grader who said that all of her friends and her history teacher (a nun) love it and I- 🥺 Please that’s so sweet.

I liked the secret identity angst with her father.

The weird love triangle (square?) between her, Richard Rory, and Zapper is very weird.

In the beginning they seemed to be going more for the “she’s one person not two separate personalities” but then they were like “actually Jen is in love with Richard Rory and She-Hulk is in love with Zapper” and I do not like it. Outside of that they weren’t really separate personalities? idk

Anyway, I liked Richard Rory, but not Zapper. They talked about how she was his babysitter?? Hi, what?

Then in the last issue she chooses Zapper over Richard Rory because she’s choosing to stay in her She-Hulk form but he is not mentioned again after that. (at least up until where I am but still)

Avengers (v1 #221-243)

I liked the earlier issues but about halfway through it started to feel like the Avengers lineup was changing every issue which is fine I guess but it felt less coherent and like they had less time to explore the characters’ relationships with each other.

Unrelated to Jen, but I liked the issue where Scott Lang and Hawkeye teamed up to stop Taskmaster from taking over the circus.

Starfox 👎

Contest of Champions

This was kind of bizarre. They clearly just wanted their superheroes to fight each other for no apparent reason, which. Valid I guess.

But it was a bizarre mix of famous heroes and completely random international heroes, and I’m kind of interested to know if the random international heroes were big at the time or if they were just putting them in to entice international readers.

Anyway, it has the distinction of being the first Marvel event.

How dare it spawn the curse that is Marvel events.

But also it was only 3 issues and had no tie-ins so it’s fine I guess.

Secret Wars

I liked it although I think it may have dragged on a bit too long.

I like Molecule Man

Wasp kissed Magneto that was weird

Idk I don’t have much to say

Fantastic Four (v1 #265-300)

This is a really bad time to jump into the middle of the Fantastic Four. Everything is happening.

Wyatt’s here though. That’s good. I like Wyatt.

Generally I like Byrne’s characterization and I think he’s very good at emotional drama.

But then all of a sudden you get an entire issue where Jen has to stop the skeeviest guy you can possibly imagine from publishing her nudes. Or SHIELD agents strip searching her while making racist comments towards Wyatt. (Technically this was in Marvel Graphic Novel #18 but it was during the time she was part of the F4 and Byrne wrote it so) Or the constant reminders that Byrne retconned the age gap between Reed and Sue. Or Sue being possessed by hate and Reed demeaning her and slapping her to snap her out of it. Or uh, just the Hatemonger thing in general.

In summary, mostly enjoyable but I occasionally had to chant “It was 1985″ while scrolling down the page in horror. (which does not excuse it but I’d like to think it couldn’t be published like that today)

Secret Wars II

The beginning of the tie-ins in other comics during events AKA the bane of my existence

Speaking of, I read the Daredevil tie-in bc it promised me the Beyonder badgering Matt for legal advice and then it did not deliver and instead gave me a tragic story where he had his sight restored so thanks for that

I did not need to spend 9 issues reading about the Beyonder’s existential crisis.

I wouldn’t mind reading about a character’s existential crisis, in fact I think comics need more of that and less of incomprehensible symbiotes take over the planet events, but the Beyonder. Why should I care. They did not give me a reason to care.

Can we talk about the two times he showed up in the Fantastic Four during this:

1. A very distressing issue where a small child idolizes Johnny and ends up setting himself on fire. He dies, Johnny considers giving up being the Human Torch. The Beyonder shows up and tells Johnny that he can’t do that. He does not attempt to revive the small child with his near limitless power. I don’t know, there was some crap about him truly living in the moment of his death bc he felt close to his hero.

2. To sum up a complicated mess: Dr Doom is in a random guy’s body because of reasons. He summons the Beyonder. The Beyonder attempts to vaporize him but ultimately gives Doom back his body also because of reasons and revives the consciousness of the man whose body Doom stole. I believe this is because they were trying to explain why Doom was in Secret Wars when he was supposed to be dead.

Why are we giving Doom back his body but drawing the line at resurrecting an 8 year old who set himself on fire.

There was some nice Molecule Man content. I did not realize how much I like Molecule Man but I guess I like Molecule Man. He just wants to play trivial pursuit and watch tv with his girlfriend which is Valid.

Enjoy this cursed lettering mistake if you made it this far (Incredible Hulk #278)

Well, there’s always a silver lining to any adversity, and 2020 was no different. While it’s globally unanimous that 2020 was like skidding down a razor bladed playground slide, there were some benefits. Beyond the zenith of all joys, the birth of my son, Ronan, I could also get a lot of writing projects ready for their 2021 debut.

Summer Reading List

Best Devotionals Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing by Sally Lloyd Jones & Jago (same author as the Jesus Storybook Bible)

Indescribable by Louie Giglio (great for kiddos who love science!)

Picture Books The Can Man by Laura E Williams - teaches empathy towards the homeless.

Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson - teaches empathy, kindness, and addresses bullying. It's illustrated by EB Lewis, who is my favorite picture book illustrator. His watercolors are simply amazing. I have loved any book he's illustrated.

St George and the Dragon retold by Margaret Hodges - good story about keeping your word, courage and chivalry. One of our very favorite picture books!

Just As Good by Chris Crowe - highlights a lesser known civil rights activist/baseball player during desegregation in major league baseball… good conversations on civil rights as well as courage.

How I Became a Pirate by Melinda Long and David Shannon - just a fun picture book… one of my boys favorites during K-1.

Dirty Joe the Pirate by Bill Harley and Jack E Davis - just another fun picture book, especially for little boys who may have an older sister.

Big Bouffant by Kate Hosford and Holly Clifton-Brown - cute picture book with great illustrations. Led to discussions on being your own person and not feeling like you have to be like everyone else.

A Bad Case of the Stripes by David Shannon - good picture book that teaches you that it's better to be yourself than try to fit in with everyone else.

The Tale of Three Trees retold by Angela Elwell Hunt - retells the folktale of the three trees that turn into the manger, the boat that held Jesus and the disciples, and the cross.

Mama Seeton's Whistle by Jerry Spinelli - this one just made my mama heart smile. Tells a story of a mama who whistles to get her kiddos to come home from playing around the neighborhood. Then the children grow but they can still hear their mama's whistle and come home to see her, and they end up whistling for their own children.

Chapter Books The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis - it's a classic but just so so good. Lots of spiritual parallels, courage, bravery, etc.

Kenny and the Dragon by Toni DeTerlizzi - great book about standing up for others, facing your fears and being courageous, even if you have to stand alone. Reads like an EB White book and has great illustrations throughout.

Little Pilgrim's Progress by Helen L Taylor - written in plain English, sparks great spiritual conversations. The publisher lists ages 8-12, but Connor has loved this one too, so it could work for a more mature 1st grader.

Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder - another classic but it's one of my favorites to read aloud to the boys. It can be read outside of the series as a stand alone book IMO.

Wonder by RJ Polacio. She's also written a picture book titled We're All Wonders that is the same premise but more appropriate for preschool/Kinder, or if the child isn't ready for a long read-aloud. We love both!

Any of the EB White books (Charlotte's Webb, Trumpet of the Swan, Stuart Little). All of these are shorter chapter books, with great character development and easy to follow plots for early elementary aged kiddos.

Read Alone The I Can Read Series (level 2) by ZonderKidz - lots of great bible stories written in language that's easy for beginner readers to read on their own. We love the ones illustrated by Dennis G. Jones: David, Daniel, Moses, Jonah, etc.

The Action Bible by Doug Mauss and Sergio Cariello - the Bible in graphic novel form. Great for kids who love graphic novels.

The Mercy Watson collection by Kate DiCamillo - super cute series for early readers wanting to get into chapter books. Has been a favorite series of both of my school aged boys; even my preschooler likes me to read these aloud to him.

*Kenny and the Dragon could easily be a chapter book read alone by upper elementary aged kids.

Today’s #tiptuesday is provided by Lindsay March. Lindsay lives in Bentonville with her husband and 3 sons. She is an avid reader and regularly serves in the Family Ministry at Fellowship Bible Church NWA!
