Last week I was insanely sick, and this week I feel really blah. Please excuse my delayed post! I'm still recovering and haven't gotten my energy back. I seriously think I could sleep for a week without waking up! It's one thing to be sick, but it's infinitely more difficult when I'm sick and taking care of sick kids. There's no time to rest and recuperate. Personally, I think it's the weather. One day it's hot and in the 90s, and the next it's raining and below 50. I'm hoping it stays cold! I've finally unearthed my hoodies and sweatpants, and I refuse to give them up!
Back to comics... I decided to add Marvel Zombies to my list! It's the perfect time of the year for spooky, and I really liked the synopsis for this one.
"Years after an incurable zombie virus ravaged the world, a small colony of survivors is protected by the Marvel U's few remaining heroes, including Spider-Man, Daredevil and the Falcon. But when their last chance at salvation arrives, will they be willing to sacrifice their own humanity in the process?"
Doesn't that sound awesome? I love the team of survivors, and I want to see how the group has been working together to stay alive. Plus, it has a The Walking Dead vibe that's always appealing. I used to watch the show with my husband, but we stopped around S7, I think. It was right after the incident with Lucile. We just didn't have time after the girls were born. We're slowly getting back into our shows.
As for Runaways, I have questions. I'm not familiar with the group outside of this specific comic, so there are a few references I haven't understood. My confusion could also be from starting this series in the middle and not at the beginning. Not having the specific details doesn't impact my overall understanding of the story, but there are little things that I know I'm missing. For example, someone new (to me) popped up in the last issue, and he's someone they all know, but I've never heard of him. He's clearly familiar with the group, and it's obvious they have history.
It's still a comic I'm enjoying, but one I think I would like more if I had the full story. The last issue was pretty intense, too. There's a lot happening at once, and I'm curious which direction the story will go in now.
Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at

Synopsis (via Goodreads): Edie Kits has a learning disability. Well, not a learning disability exactly, but a disability that impacts her learning. It isn’t visible, it isn’t obvious, and it isn’t something she likes to advertise. In fact, she’s successfully hidden it from nearly everyone in her life, including her college roommate and best friend, Serena.
And for the first half of her freshman year, she has managed without assistance. Edie thought she was in control of her disability, until she meets her match with French 101 and a professor unwilling to hear her out.
Edie finds herself caught between getting the help she needs and convincing her professor that she isn’t looking for an easy out. Luckily for her, Hudson, the badly dressed but undoubtedly adorable TA in her French class, ambles in to help her out…
I think it's great that this story is going to focus on a learning disability!
What are you reading right now? Is it any good?
