We haven't been getting most of the Infinity Wars comics, because there are a lot of side stories and offshoots. However, there are a few that we haven't been able to resist! Arachknight is one of them. It's a combination Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and Moon Knight (Marc Spector). It sounds amazing!

"Chosen as the Avatar of the Spider-Totem, Peter Parker is the dark guardian of destiny doing the bidding of the great weaver of fate... a role that has shattered his mind into multiple personas: a tech genius, a photographer, a teacher..."

The last issue of Moon Knight was trippy. Marc Spector was given a drink that had psychedelic effects. He saw things that weren't there, but that's also pretty normal. The dialogue was weird. The villain (super creeper that needed to die a horrible death) was ranting and raving about the world. His thoughts were all over the place, and I have no idea what he was trying to convey to Marc. I know they were probably trying to set up the 200th issue, but I wish the story had been easier to follow.

Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows has ended, but Annie May Parker is making an appearance in Spider-Girls. I've enjoyed Jody Houser's writing, and I'm excited to see what she does with this mini series.

X-Med Red is always a delight! I love how relevant it is to the world today.

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.

Girls on the Verge by Sharon Biggs Waller

Expected publication: April 9th 2019

Synopsis (via Goodreads): A powerful, timely coming-of-age story about a young woman from Texas who goes on a road trip with two friends to get an abortion, from award-winning author Sharon Biggs Waller.

Camille couldn't be having a better summer. But on the very night she learns she got into a prestigious theater program, she also finds out she’s pregnant. She definitely can’t tell her parents. And her best friend, Bea, doesn’t agree with the decision Camille has made.

Camille is forced to try to solve her problem alone . . . and the system is very much working against her. At her most vulnerable, Camille reaches out to Annabelle Ponsonby, a girl she only barely knows from the theater. Happily, Annabelle agrees to drive her wherever she needs to go. And in a last-minute change of heart, Bea decides to come with.

Girls on the Verge is an incredibly timely novel about a woman’s right to choose. Sharon Biggs Waller brings to life a narrative that has to continue to fight for its right to be told, and honored. 

I have a feeling Girls on the Verge is going to be really emotional. It's definitely one I will have to be in the right mental state for. Do you like reading books that challenge your way of thinking, or cause you to view something a little bit differently? I really enjoy books that take me out of comfort zone and offer a different perspective.
