Review – Captain America: Civil War

I just got back from Captain America: Civil War and wanted to write a review while it was still fresh in my brain. I really liked it, and I definitely thought it was worth the wait. That’s it. Goodnight everybody! Kidding. It’d be a pretty boring review if I didn’t have at least a couple minor

“Over the top” doesn’t begin to cover it. The first volume of Skottie Young’s I Hate Fairyland isn’t some sweet story in a land of spun-sugar towers and graceful unicorns, or the otherworldly beauty of Oz. It isn’t even the cute cartoon mayhem of his Little X-Men, Little Avengers issues. Fairyland is violent and goofy and gross, as
