Interesting spin on the trapped princess. Some very witty dialogue. The whole thing is unhealthy physically and emotionally from almost start to finish. The characters were true to themselves. Just painful to read the situation. Not my cup of tea.

Really fun. Our heroine continues to break the fourth wall, and is (mostly) sure she is a hero in a comic. Lessons must be learned, and some grounding just when it looks like its going to be completely ridiculous. love it.

great characters with an intro by howard the duck, suiting up with a somewhat(completely?) scammy costumer, and a realistic(for marvel) hacker. throw in some modok for some schadenfreude.
