![]() ![]() Joined by iconic artist Greg Land, Landy has launched the new ongoing ALL-OUT AVENGERS series in stores now. The story is always in full flow, everybody is always hurtling towards the finish line every single issue, which is a feat in itself.” It’s not constant action, it’s constant momentum. “You’re thrown into the second part of the story, but the first part is never even written. You had to wait until you were a grownup and they invented Marvel Unlimited so you could find out how that story started.” We didn’t have the option to back order, we didn’t have comic shops. ![]() “Invariably it landed you in the middle of a story. “This is basically that feeling that readers of a certain age have of walking into a corner store as a kid and picking up whatever comic was on the rack,” explains Derek Landy, writer of ALL-OUT AVENGERS, the new comic with a high concept of starting every issue in the midst of an adventure. It’s like no Avengers comic you’ve ever seen before-sort of. ![]()

With her ship officially over (RIP Joseph), she's focused on protecting her sister, Arsinoe, while they try to make a life on the mainland. Mirabella, the elemental □She's always loved her sisters and had the hardest time coming to grips with the fact that she'd have to kill them in order to claim the throne. How the heck does that happen? And why do I always cheer on the 'bad guys'? And will there be a way to defeat the Mist without sacrificing my beloved? The first half of the story was slow and boring, but it definitely picked up and had me questioning EVERYTHING!! Characters I couldn't care less about have now become people I'm rooting for. This author does an incredible job of giving answers and creating situations that warrant more. My Review ★★★★✩Here I am, at the end of this book, and I have even more questions than I started with. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Other merfolk appear throughout the plot to really make this version do a tail-spin (pun intended). Add that to her relationship with her best friend (the Prince) and you already have a new tale. First of all, Pearl is a mermaid living on land with no knowledge of her true identity. There are a few major differences in this version of TLM than other retellings I have found. My local book stores disappointed me with their lack of availability, but the library came through for me! I sat down a few days ago to start this book and fell head first into the "new" plot. So, obviously, when I discovered this book did exist, I made it one of my summer goals to obtain a copy to read. I had no idea there was TLM book in the seriess (although it makes perfect sense). I read through them before I put them in my classroom library and thought that they were fun versions of many of my favorite fairy tales. A few years ago I picked up some other books in the "Once Upon a Time" series at a local library book sale. That story started my obsession with all things mermaid. Let me start by saying that The Little Mermaid is one of my all time favorite fairy tales (and Disney movies). ![]() ![]() ![]() If they were here, Colt and Creed would hold me while giving me words of encouragement, Keelan would say something to make me laugh, and Knox would push my buttons. "The only place that felt remotely like a home was when I was over at the guys' house. It was really nice to see how they all took care of her in their different ways. They always made sure to let her know that they were there for her, and they refused to let her spiral on her own. There were ups and downs with their relationships (arguments really, nothing too crazy), but the guys never walked away. She wasn't afraid to stand up to the guys if she thought they weren't handing something correctly regarding their relationships. She even got more confident and stronger in this book. We got to see her relationship with all the brothers evolve. And wow, I can't wait to see how the story progresses. She even made some more enemies in this book, unfortunately, and we got to see more of her Uncle Logan which led to the cliffhanger. I'm glad we got to see more of her flashbacks with Mr. It was so sad to see how hard her grief hit her, but she was able to overcome it. ![]() In this book, we got to see her grief and how she was handling it, and the guys were there for her every step of the way. Poor Shiloh went through it this book (most mentally), and I'm worried for when it gets worse. I'm scared to keep going because I don't want to finish it so soon. This series keeps getting better and better. ![]() |
