I an so excited for this week's comics! Daredevil is getting really interesting. I love seeing this new version of Matt Murdock, and what his life looks like without the suit. Miles Morales Spider-Man is fantastic. Ahmed has given Miles a very unique and relatable voice. Firefly is perfection. Also, Go Go Power Rangers: Forever Rangers is finally here! My son and I have been waiting months for this one, and we're so happy to be starting from the beginning.

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, that highlights upcoming releases that we're anticipating and excited to read. It's a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Synopsis (via Goodreads): In the first book in an exciting and charming new coming-of-age fantasy series from the author of the Age of Fire series, an impoverished girl enters into a military order of dragonriders, but her path won't be as easy or as straightforward as she expected.

Fourteen-year-old Ileth grew up in an orphanage, and thanks to her stutter was never thought to be destined for much beyond kitchen work and cleaning. But she's dreamed of serving with the dragons ever since a childhood meeting with a glittering silver dragon and its female dragoneer. For years she waits, and as soon as she is old enough to join, Ileth runs away to become a novice dragoneer at the ancient human-dragon fortress of the Serpentine.

While most of her fellow apprentices are from rich and influential families, Ileth must fight for her place in the world, even if it includes a duel with her boss at the fish-gutting table. She's then sent off to the dragon-dancers after a foolish kiss with a famously named boy and given charge of a sickly old dragon with a mysterious past. But she finds those trials were nothing when she has to take the place of a dead dragoneer and care for his imprisoned dragon in enemy lands...

The cover is what initially drew me in, but the synopsis is beyond amazing. Dragons! It also sounds like the main character will have a really compelling and authentic voice.

    1. Have you seen the Netflix series? I think it's a wonderful portrayal of Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Also, Foggy and Karen are great! Frank Castle has his own show, but I did enjoy his appearances in the DD series.

    1. It was hard to choose a Power Rangers cover this week! There were a lot I really liked, but I really loved the Carnival-vibe this one has. They're just a group of friends having fun! I hope the story is as lovely and interesting as the cover. <3

  4. My little brother is really getting into the Spider Man movies and TV shows right now, so I'm thinking about trying some comics with him- he did show an interest in other superhero comics a couple months ago!

    1. I would suggest Tom Taylor's Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Saladin Ahmed's Miles Morales Spider-Man. They're both really great! Miles would be good for a younger audience, and both of these haven't been as violent as others I've read.

  5. I love the cover for Novice Dragoneer!
    I had no idea there were Power Rangers comics. I'll need to let the kid know. He loves Power Rangers AND comics so this should be right up his street.

    1. They've had an ongoing Power Rangers comic for years now, but I've never felt compelled to jump into the middle of a series. I was thrilled when they decided to start this one. I like to start from the beginning, haha.

    1. Ohmygod, YES. I love Firefly! Please tell me you've seen the television show? It's right up your alley! Also, the comic has been doing the characters and the story SO MUCH JUSTICE. Greg Pak is killing it. The carnival background is the new Power Rangers!! :)
