![]() The story follows Dylan, a woman who is excited to have just gotten her dream job – being the head lawyer of a sports team. So all of the ingredients for a great read were here, but they didn’t come together in a satisfying way for me. It lost me completely once they began hate banging and STILL denied any kind of feelings/relationship very late in the book. ![]() It’s completely inappropriate for a boss/employee situation – especially for a heroine who is a lawyer and 100% knows better – and some of those issues are never resolved. But it just felt so sexual and superficial to me they snipe and bicker, try to one up each other, and every other thought in their heads is of the sexual variety. ![]() It should’ve been a perfect fit – there’s tons of banter, sizzling chemistry, plenty of bickering, a firecracker of a heroine, and a hero who is in over his head. ![]() This series has become very popular, so I took my time waiting for the right tropes before checking out this new-to-me author. Everybody’s been loving this one, but… I was disappointed. ![]() ![]() Hudson broke Wes’s heart years ago-and could again, given he’s rocking a hot silver-fox look that shouldn’t be legal.Īs they work together to track down the murderer before anyone else gets hurt, it becomes clear Wes and Hudson have unfinished business.

Consider like a Seven Soldiers of Victory schema writ large - a lead-off graphic novel, a variety of related miniseries, and then a graphic novel closing. ![]() I’d so like to see DC jump on this approach, what the Earth One books once seemed like before they petered out and/or had years between volumes - mainstream, part-of-an-ongoing-story OGNs, and pairing them with miniseries seems just the right approach. Second is that “Bone Orchard” is the umbrella title for what’s said to be a “shared horror universe” headed by Lemire and Sorrentino and including graphic novels and miniseries - so, trades, trades, graphic novels, and more trades. I’m remiss, and will have to rectify, that I have not read their re-teaming on Image’s Primordial or Gideon Falls, but I was pleased to re-join them for Passageway. At the time, each was doing great DC work on their own - Lemire writing a quirky, smart Animal Man, Sorrentino bringing detailed, moody art to I, Vampire - together they were clearly magic. ![]() First, it’s by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, the dynamite team behind a legendary New 52 Green Arrow run.

It was during his military service, too, that he met Jean-Paul Sartre, the existential philosopher. Camus joined the French Resistance at the beginning of World War II, and worked for an underground resistance newspaper, eventually becoming its editor in 1943. In 1930 he contracted tuberculosis, causing him to give up playing soccer (he was a skillful goalkeeper) and meaning he had to study part-time. Here he developed his sense of political engagement, joining first the Communist Party and later the Algerian People’s Party. Showing aptitude for his schooling, Camus was accepted to the University of Algiers. Camus’ mother, an illiterate house cleaner, brought him up thereafter. ![]() His father, Lucien, died in World War I when Camus was still a baby.
