“…it is not a book to be confined to the classroom. No wizarding household is complete without a copy of Fantastic Beasts, well thumbed by the generations who have riffled its pages in search of the best way to rid the lawn of Horklumps, interpret the mournful cries of the Augurey, or cure their pet Puffskein of drinking out of the toilet.”

Comics Cosmos – Keeping Up With Jones
If you haven’t been to your local comic shop lately, you may have missed the new Jessica Jones comic book. The series began in October (stemming, in part, from the popularity of the Netflix series) and, even though it’s only two issues in, it’s pretty interesting so far.

Miss Dawn’s Musings – Letting Go of a Favorite
Anyone who enjoys reading ends up with some favorite authors in a very short period of time. As soon as you fall in love with a character or setting or style or series – that’s it, you want to read everything that author writes.

But there were other changes that were made and additions and whatnot… and what we ended up with was not G.I. Joe. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – The G.I. Joe Movie We Deserve
Best Geeky Finds – Catch Up with a New Agent Carter Operation
Peggy Carter – she didn’t break many hearts, but definitely broke many legs.
Since the cancellation of Agent Carter on ABC (and its mysterious lack of availability on DVD), I have missed Peggy and her adventures, not to mention the show’s feminist approach to the Marvel Universe and the 1940s.
Thankfully I recently came across the comic Agent Carter: Operation S.I.N. After being in retirement from S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy is thrown back into adventure after Howard Stark tricks her by sending an agent to attack her at home. Peggy and Stark fly to Moscow where they meet two informants and learn about another adversary that continues to be a badly used plot piece in the MCU – Hydra.
