The Daily Show (The Audiobook): An Oral History as Told by Jon Stewart, the Correspondents, Staff and Guests

I've had to renew my loan on this one twice because it's taking me so long to get through it. The format of the audiobook feels really weird, but some of the content is interesting/funny enough that I still want to finish it.

The Tea Dragon Society

Absolutely adorable and very short, so it was easy to get through! There's two more books in the series, so I might check those out next month.

Captain America: Symbol of Truth Vol. 1 - Homeward

Obsessed! Seriously, I enjoyed this so much. This series features Sam Wilson as Cap, and it seems like there's another Captain America series that ran concurrently with this one featuring Steve Rogers as Cap, before they both concluded with an event. I definitely want to check those out in the future.

City Boy (2023)

Ough if only all comic books were as good as this one! And if only City Boy had more appearances! This was a 6-issue series, plus two short appearances from other one-shot comics. Very beginner-friendly comic!

X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills

I really appreciated how easy it was to follow for someone who doesn't know the X-Men that well. It had some really interesting and thought-provoking themes, and the ending was surprising but fitting.

52, Vol. 1

I thought I would be more confused than I was reading this, given that I haven't read Infinite Crisis, but I managed really well. It's more about the aftermath, anyway, and you don't really need to know much more than 'Something terrible happened to the superheroes and now stuff sucks' The highlight for me was seeing Clark (who, during Infinite Crisis, used up all his powers and now he has to slowly recharge them) be a street-level character, solving his problems the normal-human way.

Hawkeye vs. Deadpool

An absolute delight. Two of my five favorite Marvel characters. Need I say more?
