Graphic Novel Review - 'Gumshoe' by Brenna Thummler

In 'Gumshoe', by Brenna Thummler, postwomen and postal girls are also pink-and-blue cowgirls.

It is an Arizonian, letter-writing, letter-looting, stamp-collecting, cat-loving, gum-chewing, gooey s'mores-mouthwatering, campfire-ing, femme-filled retelling of Louis Sachar's 'Holes'. Heck, it starts off with the protagonist, eleven-year-old Willa Rivera, stamping and delivering a letter to a Louis Sachar - the graphic novel is a literal love letter to another author and his work!

Willa is a shy, quiet girl with social anxiety, who dreams of becoming a postwoman. Through a misunderstanding with her town's mysterious postman, whom she aspires to be like, she becomes a runaway and an outlaw, and subsequently a cowgirl-postgirl in the Gumshoe Gang, who are runaway girls like herself.

There is a legend of Two Gum Tilly, a notorious bandit who chews disgusting gum and steals other people's letters from their letterboxes, and throughout the generations she has never been caught. She plays a huge part in the story of these girls.

I found I could relate to Willa, in her quietness and trouble making friends, and in her love of letters, and delivering them to different people (though that fancy of mine largely stems from my obsession with admiration of 'Kiki's Delivery Service', but still). Her three new runaway outlaw friends of the Gumshoe Gang, called Pepsy, Beanie and Whip, are very interesting, well-rounded and well-developed characters in their own right.

The artwork is colourful, expressive, endearing, shady and atmospheric, and the characters are so distinct, fully realised and alive it is almost scary. I loved imagining the Southwestern US accents of certain female characters. At 320 pages 'Gumshoe' manages to pack in carts and wagons' worth of interesting things. Female friendship is one of its major themes.

And did I mention it loves cats? And gum? Lots and lots of chewing gum?

'Gumshoe' - yes, the identity of the current Two Gum Tilly is almost insultingly obvious, and the ending is rather rushed and a little disappointing, after all that buildup and development (not to mention it's heteronormative, with Beanie's never-seen dads being the only exception), but it is such a funny and cute, yet mature and heartwarming middle grade graphic novel! It is certainly unique, and hardly like any children's graphic novel I've read before.

And it has Dogie, Willa's postman's cat, in it, who is drawn to gum like catnip, and is highly intelligent. There is a literal singing cat show! For a famous cat called Cat B'lou! She's "America's feline sweetheart"!

Have I not sold you yet?!

What a town-and-desert rodeo!

Final Score: 3.5/5

Graphic Novel Review - 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' by Tom King (Writer), Bilquis Evely (Artist), Matheus Lopes (Colourist), Clayton Cowles (Letterer)

I had to read this dark, not-at-all simple 'Supergirl' comic twice in order to somewhat comprehend, understand and appreciate it.

And in conclusion, after needing a full day's reading of 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', I've found I really like it.

This is despite how it demonstrates both the best and worst traits of Tom King as a writer; meaning, he comes up with the most brilliant, creative, subversive, introspective, existentialist, and out-of-this-world-and-cosmos concepts, of which he doesn't waste any potential, and his fearlessness in thinking outside the box and giving expectations a whiplash is exceptional...but my goddesses and garters is it hard not to disagree that he might have been better off as a novelist, because nearly every comic of his is wordy as hell. Waxing poetic about everything and nothing like there is no tomorrow (heh) appears to be his favourite vice. You do not read his works for a quick, breezy, action-packed time, that's for certain. It's great that they are not brainless, but they can be far too much if all you want to do is enjoy a colourful superhero comic.

It's like King is afraid of editors--or is it the other way round? That it's editors that are afraid of him, of even suggesting he cut a single word out of his overwhelming deluge of narration boxes and dialogue balloons?

This is especially troubling as it breaks the number one rule of storytelling across all mediums: "Show, don't tell". And King absolutely loves to tell, without letting the artwork speak for itself, for a chance - for room and space - to convey atmosphere. Readers are left with hardly anything to infer from and interpret for themselves.

Ofttimes King borders on being like an unrestrained, pretentious, egotistical, overrated and overblown classic male movie director. That he seems to be restlessly writing for every comic nowadays regardless of the mixed quality of his output doesn't help his "keeps getting hired over everyone else and it's suspicious and seedy" case.

Yet in spite of all this (wow did I go longwinded myself, huh?), 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' (2021) is an excellent comic book, and I can see why it would be widely considered a masterpiece and an instant graphic novel classic. It's also not hard to see why it would pretty much serve the basis of the new 'Supergirl' movie coming out in 2026.

Sure, there are some random, superfluous and nonsensical things in it, and I find the ending to be only a little less frustrating and confusing on the second read, but its merits outweigh its shortcomings. I can appreciate better what King was doing, now with the knowledge of what to expect, plus a refreshed memory, and I can therefore properly exercise the patience required to enjoy it.

'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' - such effort is especially heartening to see in a 'Supergirl' comic in general. Tom King does not undermine the superheroine. Based on his writing, it is clear he respected her, and wanted to show her at her best, at her most rounded and three-dimensional...and most painfully tragic.

No one would forget about, ignore, dismiss, or underestimate Supergirl after reading 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', even if they had read lesser comics about her before, that do not do her character justice in the slightest, and seem to despise her existence.

Supergirl/Kara Zor-El is no mere distaff counterpart, distressed damsel, fridged woman, and "girl hero" - she is her cousin Superman's equal in every respect, perhaps more so; and is perhaps better than he is, due to her having experienced, struggled and survived far greater in her comparatively shorter life (she is in fact much older than he is - as a young teen she was originally sent from her decayed and destroyed Krypton civilisation(s) to earth to protect baby Kal-El; space and time travels, and depending on the rocket ship, and all that).

'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' is basically a retelling of Charles Portis's 'True Grit', set in outer space, with aliens, and the most devastated, hostile, barely habitable, and/or corrupt alien worlds, and genocidal space criminals and thugs and pirates.

Twenty-one-year-old Supergirl is on a mission that takes her across the universe. She is accompanied by Ruthye Marye Knoll (now that is a pretentious name), a girl from another planet, like Supergirl. Ruthye will stop at nothing to seek revenge on a monstrous man who murdered her father in cold blood, with a sword.

Over the long, hard and heavy course of her revenge quest, Ruthye comes to know of the unspeakably tragic past, and the inner and outer journey, of the Woman of Tomorrow. But by the ends of the universe, she will attempt to speak them, unceasingly, via her one notable characteristic of never shutting the @#&*! up, in her narration and her dialogue. Whether anyone likes it or not, Ruthye is the one telling the whole story - the story of her and Supergirl, from her perspective and memory, from when she is an old woman.

Kara's beloved Krypto the Superdog is there, too.

Supergirl, whatever she is doing, and whatever occasion she finds to smile and be kind and help those in need, there can be no doubt: she is suffering. She is depressed. She is constantly living, surviving through the trauma of losing her home on the blown-up planet Krypton, then in Argo City, and of losing her parents. In having to take care of the younger, naïve, stubborn and impulsive Ruthye, her PTSD reaches its full potency; it is showing up to the surface, beyond her control. With all her superpowers, that are without limits (kryptonite effects aside, and depending on what sun she is under, and magic is another weakness of hers), she is not so insuperable and perfect, after all. Heck, she's drunk in her first appearance in this comic. She has a short fuse and mood swings, and swears a lot (though it's censored).

But she will keep trying.

Keep defying.

Keep flying.

Keep finding and improving herself.

Keep saving lives.

She knows she has to cling on to hope somehow, or else there really is no reason for her to go on, to help others.

To save herself.

And there will always be other people who will fight to save her, sometimes from herself. People who stand up for her, admire her, and love her.

Through all her trauma, and personality flaws, she is Supergirl, fighting for truth, justice, and compassion and kindness in the face of all the evils, all the destruction, obliteration and oblivion, of the indifferent universe.

She is not a god, and she never asked to be compared to one. She never asked to be a hero, either. But that's the role she's been given, that's the hand she is dealt. And she will accomplish her tasks and duties to the best of her capabilities.

'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' - a grand, epic, emotional, horrifying, poignant, complex, and compact standalone superheroine graphic novel, if overly wordy and flowery in language, for this supposedly visual art medium. It swings between pretension and genuine cleverness on almost equal footing. It showcases the best and worst of Kara Zor-El, in a good way. It may just make a Supergirl fan out of anyone, if they are not already.

If you want, you can read my reviews of the other 'Supergirl' comics I like:


'Supergirl: Being Super'

'Supergirl Vol. 1: Misadventures in Midvale'


And to further show I do not completely hate Tom King's work, read these:


'Jenny Sparks'

'Helen of Wyndhorn'


Final Score: 3.5/5

Graphic Novel Review - 'Supergirl Vol. 1: Misadventures in Midvale' by Sophie Campbell (Writer, Artist), Rosi Kämpe (Artist), Paulina Ganucheau (Artist), Tamra Bonvillain (Colourist), Marissa Louise (Colourist), Kendall Goode (Colourist), Becca Carey (Letterer)

I figured I'd read more 'Supergirl' comics, what with the new film coming out this year, and the new comic, 'Supergirl Vol. 1: Misadventures in Midvale', is one of them.

Up until now, 'Supergirl: Being Super' was the only 'Supergirl' comic I liked (a reread of 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' would also rectify this, but that's for another review), and although 'Supergirl Vol. 1: Misadventures in Midvale' is far from perfect, and kind of a confused mess that doesn't seem to know who its target demographic is, it is a fun, funny, bright and colourful superheroine comic.

I'm not sure how old Supergirl/Kara Zor-El/Linda Danvers is supposed to be here, when she looks and sometimes acts like a teenager, albeit a very responsible and seasoned one with more of a level head than she is often given credit for. But regardless, there is zany and silly stuff to be had in 'Misadventures in Midvale', such as an imposter Supergirl (Lesla-Lar, later called Luminary, and she has a pet bunny rabbit named Kandy), Krypto the Superdog, Streaky the Supercat, Tinytano the tiny super gorilla, Lena Luthor, the daughter of Lex Luthor (who is plenty goth, and seems to be connected to Brainiac somehow?), Luna Lustrum the psionic goth girl (there are a lot of L-names in the Super-Fam stories), Kandor, Princess Shark and her shark invasions, Supergirl being turned into Satan Girl, a goth party, an adorable and funny issue starring the Super-Pets, Nightflame, and Kara experiencing her worst nightmares and memories, and she breaks through and overcomes it all with the power of female friendship, and realising that her darkness is her strength, not her weakness (the tone really gets muddled there, in the final issue, but it's good character development for Kara).

I'm glad I'm giving Supergirl another chance, at least with her modern incarnations. Between this and the much darker 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', I properly see now that she isn't Superman's frivolous, smiley and moody teenage cousin and distaff counterpart - Kara Zor-El is a truly tragic character, having experienced so much loss and devastation when she was just a child; the weight of her whole destroyed planet, civilisation, and family on her small shoulders. Unlike Superman, she remembers Krypton, and her Kryptonian family - she had a whole life on another world, that she took for granted, and only survived out of pure luck. While she always tries not to show it, under a youthful, sunshiny, compassionate and hopeful persona, she is a supernova of pain and grief.

But she will not let it end her. She will not let the memory of Krypton die with her. She will keep going; keep moving; keep flying.

And she will not let anyone else suffer like she has.

As Supergirl, she will use her godlike powers to help others, to do good, after having faced the worst the universe had to throw at her, as an innocent young girl, no longer so innocent and naïve.

Supergirl - a Schrodinger's cat of being both hopeful and happy, and despairful and sorrowful. Not quite a teenager, not quite an adult. Young and continuously learning, yet has experienced enough for multiple human lifetimes. Like a less "perfect" Wonder Woman.

Supergirl is a survivor. The epitome of strength and endurance and perseverance, in a stereotypical young, small, skinny, pretty, weak, female body.

What an inspirational heroine. Finally allowed to shoot like the brightest, fastest star, out of her cousin's shadow.

Power Girl isn't the only interesting female Super-Family member, after all. My apologies, dear, dear Kara. You are a miracle, a girl of hope, come to earth from the stars.

Final Score: 3.5/5

Graphic Novel Review - 'Harley Quinn Vol. 1: Destructive Comics' by Elliott Kalan (Writer), Mindy Lee (Artist), Triona Farrell (Colourist), Lucas Gattoni (Letterer)

Well, I'm back reading a new 'Harley Quinn' comic.

Now Harley and Poison Ivy are on a sort-of trial separation, that has to do with the events of Ivy's own current comic run. So Harls is out of the swamp and back in Gotham, in Throatcutter Hill, in a reconnecting-with-your-past, gentrification and condo development storyline, where she flirts with building developer, estate mogul, industrialist and capitalist girlboss bitch Althea Klang (who is so much like a female Seto Kaiba, it is too funny), in a love/hate war for Throatcutter Hill's rotten and rotting soul.

Don't worry, she's still in love with Ivy. In fact, in one issue they are back together in Ivy's swamp, fighting a psycho pig man. Harlivy are OTP forever.

There is a bum "superhero" from Harley's college days, a cranky, cantankerous old landlady, a family of Clayfaces, the destruction of new monuments, the thwarting of Amazon delivery vans, the bombing of septic lines, a found family theme, Harley constantly arguing with her brain 'The Simpsons'-style, and Harley's hyenas, that get forgotten about after the third issue.

It is all absolutely bonkers. Unadulterated nonsense. In others words, it is a superhero/supervillain/antihero comic. 'Destructive Comics' indeed.

'Harley Quinn Vol. 1: Destructive Comics' is one of the most hilarious comic books I have ever read. There are genuinely funny and clever moments, jokes and lines of dialogue. It is unabashedly irreverent, chaotic and topsy-turvy, and you've got to love it for it. It is like the best comedy manga/anime.

Colourful, subversive, anarchic, hell-ter-skelter, queer fun. A sugar, pork and chicken rush.

Wild!

A mad-dash comedy goldrush!

With the Joker completely absent from the whole thing.

Now this is Harley Quinn, as she should be!

Final Score: 3.5/5

Graphic Novel Review - 'The Lost Daughter of Sparta' by Felicia Day (Writer), Rowan MacColl (Artist)

'The Lost Daughter of Sparta' is a monumental and phenomenal powerhouse of a feminist Greek mythology graphic novel.

It explores the story of Philonoe, the youngest and forgotten sister of Helen of Troy. She's a woman who's been lost to time. Even the mists of myth no longer acknowledge her existence.

Until now.

Considered cursed because of a facial birthmark, Princess Philonoe was sent away as a baby to live as a poor goatherd. Quite appropriate, seeing as she is one of her family's female scapegoats - has been since birth. Her life is that of abandonment issues, and starvation of love, value, worthiness, and belonging. When she comes of age, she is finally allowed back into the presence of her parents, who she hopes to "earn" their love, and make them see her, by behaving exactly as she is supposed to; meaning: by becoming the perfect wife to a prince from an allying Greek city. And by hiding her face with a veil at all times.

Youthful, naïve, and desperate, Philonoe believes she has to conform to a patriarchal system of total submissiveness, faithfulness and loyalty to men in order to fit in and be loved, regardless of what is true and what is right for her.

But on her Twelve Labours-style quest to break her curse - and another curse placed on her and her older sisters, that causes them to inevitably "betray their husbands" - all initiated by Aphrodite - Philonoe, guided by Artemis, learns that the misogynistic patriarchy by its very concept will never love and accept her, and it will never make her happy. It will never allow her to be happy, to belong, to be free as she is. People living in and benefitting from that hierarchy will always hate and judge her, no matter what she does. A "perfect wife and mother" is a lie and a trap.

Philonoe will find the strength and resolve to love herself, to put herself and her needs first, no matter what anyone thinks. She will realise that she deserves love and respect too.

She will love other women, including her sisters, who she only knew by their "traitorous, treacherous, scandalous and destructive" reputations, and "monster" women. Like her, they are in fact victims of the machinations of insecure and power-mad male gods and heroes, and kings.

Perhaps she will also find love in a certain goddess who has her eye on her...

I'm so glad that, even with my knowledge of Greek mythology, I've finally gotten to know Philonoe, and other female figures - such as Clytemnestra, Timandra, Echidna, and including the genderfluid Caenis/Caeneus - who are more than worthy of having their stories told, and remembered.

Philonoe is a real immortal heroine in 'The Lost Daughter of Sparta'! She is so human, vulnerable, lost, naïve, scruffy, scrappy, relatable, and imperfect, and her development throughout her journey is a beautiful thing to witness. She is loved and seen, and respected, as herself - %$*^! any "curses", and how she looks.

I love this interpretation of my girl Artemis, as well. She's a stubborn, hard-arse warrior woman with a heart of gold - and a crescent moon on her forehead! - and she's a feminist LBGTQ+ icon who is forever exploring her sexuality and horizons. Artemis's design in the graphic novel resembles that of Pearl from 'Steven Universe', so much so that I suspect it was intentional.

How happy I am that stories like 'The Lost Daughter of Sparta' are still being told; are continuing to exist in the mainstream public eye. And how happy I am that I decided to buy it on a whim upon seeing it for the first time in my local bookshop, despite having reservations about the rough, cartoony black and white and red artwork, and having never read anything by Felicia Day before.

'The Lost Daughter of Sparta' - just read this feminist graphic novel mistress-work, that respects, understands and celebrates forgotten women in history, myth and legend. Independent, LBGTQ+ women, that is. It is an epic tale matching (and marching!) that of 'Odysseus'. For fans of 'The One Hundred Nights of Hero', 'Young Hag', 'The Fox Maidens', 'Heathen', and 'The Girl, the Priest, and the Devil', it is definitely a must-hunt-down-and-devour.

Also recommended are 'Goddess of The Hunt', 'Great Goddesses', and 'Warriors, Witches, Women: Mythology's Fiercest Females'.

(In my opinion, 'The Lost Daughter of Sparta' is much better than any of the modern bestselling novels that retell Greek myths with a "feminist twist", that are being churned out ad nauseum.)

Final Score: 4.5/5 (five Artemis's crescent moons!)

April 2026 Netflix & Disney+ Update

I'm ready to document what I've been watching on Netflix and Disney+ since December 2025, as a continuing fangirl at heart. I'll mostly list TV shows, and when it comes to films it'll be from Netflix only, to keep things simple. Some of them will be rewatches from my past subscriptions. No specials or shorts will be included.

Also, I have now cancelled my Netflix subscription. I will continue to use Disney+, but only for the time being. I never wish to support unethical, exploitative, abusive and authoritative corporations owned by billionaires. Fuck capitalism and AI.

I'll break up my list based on what I recommend, what is middling to me, and what I don't recommend. In terms of order, the TV series/films will start from which I feel strongest towards (positively for my recommended favourites, negatively for my unrecommended least favourites).

Enjoy!

Netflix

Recommended: Nimona (always), Heartstopper (despite my one misgiving of the first season *cough*Tao*cough*, the rest is absolutely worth hundreds of rewatches, for it is a beautiful miracle of a series), Hilda (again, always), Dead End: Paranormal Park (ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!), Little Witch Academia (such an adorable, magical anime), Sailor Moon Crystal Cosmos (both this and Eternal are recommended for all Sailor Moon fans), K-Pop Demon Hunters, Scaredy Cats (a charming and adorable live action children's fantasy series worth many rewatches), Ultraman: Rising.

Middling/Would Not Stop You From Checking Out: Wednesday, Bridgerton (up to season two), Unicorn Store (it is truly a shame that the first movie I ever watched on Netflix, and which actually made me cry, doesn't quite hold up as well as I hoped on a 2026 rewatch, but I can live with it), Damsel, Griselda, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Arcane: League of Legends (the first season is still good, but the second is a big disappointment, in my opinion), Magia Record (okay, WTF was that? It's not bad, but wow it is an exhausting watch! It's the plot holes that ultimately undo it), Haunted Hotel, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, Rumble.

Skip it/Avoid Like the Plague: Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld, A Whisker Away, World of Winx (I am still mystified by how and why this exists; it is unbelievably desperate and sad, even for Winx Club (in fact, it has nothing to do with Winx!) and Iginio Staffi - unbearable, and almost unwatchable), Kitti Katz (so good it doesn't have a Wikipedia page!), Disenchantment (I watched all five seasons, and it was not worth it), Witch Watch, Suzume, Mermaid Magic (another with no Wikipedia page! Though it is not as bland, mediocre and forgettable as Kitti Katz, it is nothing special, and do not support Iginio Straffi or Rainbow S.p.A, and I say this despite my guilty pleasure love for Winx Club), Spellbound (I don't care that the story's main theme is quite poignant and original - do not support anything produced by He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Sexual-Predator-Still-Hired-To-Produce-Children's-Films, and it did not need to be a musical; said musical numbers sound AI-generated anyway), The Twits, The Last Kingdom (gave up after the first season), Anne with an E (same, and Hecate and Hades it is a dark, depressing programme! when it is based on such an optimistic and magical book, and it is not for children to see), Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (a lot of disappointing anime on here, sadly, that I find to be baffling, regressive and toxic in their messaging).

Disney+

Recommended: The Owl House (my favourite show ever, so how could I not?), The Ghost and Molly McGee (adorbs!), Gargoyles (first and second seasons only), Sofia the First (I was pleasantly surprised), Amphibia (another rewatch), Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, X-Men '97, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (in fact, I like most of the Winnie the Pooh stuff on Disney+, especially the films - they're so charming and funny!), Bluey.

Middling/Would Not Stop You From Checking Out: Milo Murphy's Law, Tangled: The Series (aka Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure), Darkwing Duck.

Skip it/Avoid Like the Plague: Ironheart (there is no heart to be found here - the worst, most lurid, morally abhorrent and evil-minded thing ever dished out by the increasingly dire and burned-out corporate hell that is the MCU, and that is heartbreaking (pun unintended) coming from a show with an all Black and POC cast), Elena of Avalor (Sofia the First this ain't - what a stupid, stupid show, and again, I hate having to say anything negative about a POC-led show, especially for children), Fancy Nancy (just...don't), Alice's Wonderland Bakery (anything Wonderland-related should never be boring and pedestrian, yet here we are).

Additional recommended films/New DVDs and Blu-rays: 100 Nights of Hero, The Emperor's New Groove, Soul, The Marvels, Mean Girls (2004 and 2024).

Yeah. I've been watching far too much television.

In the future I plan to rewatch longer shows, such as The Simpsons, Steven Universe, and She-Ra: Princess of Power. I currently own DVDs, bought from eBay, of The Owl House, Amphibia, Hilda, Dead End: Paranormal Park, and She Ra and the Princesses of Power.

As if all this wasn't enough, I watched Winx Club (up to season six, to save my remaining braincells) and the movies on YouTube, but that's neither here nor there.

I need to get my act together, and get a life and be an adult already lol.

But fiction and stories can save us all, and remind us of our morals, ethics and humanity in an increasingly effed-up, dystopic world.

Well, that's it for my updates at the moment.

Keep safe, and loving and caring.

Never stop caring.

April full moon 2026: When, where and how to see the pink moon

When Is April 2026's Full Moon? Here's Why It's Considered 'Pink'

How and when to see April's full Pink Moon - BBC Weather

Your horoscope for the full pink moon in Libra is calling you to release what you've outgrown

Google sources:

The pink moon will reach peak illumination on Wednesday, April 1 at 10:12 p.m., according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. To catch a glimpse, simply look toward the eastern horizon after sunset.

The Pink Moon will light up the sky on April 2, 2026. Despite its name, the Moon will not appear pink — the name comes from the Creeping Phlox, one of the first spring flowers to bloom, spreading soft pink colors across the landscape.

The Pink Moon is the full moon in April, named after the herb moss pink (wild ground phlox), which blooms early in spring. It signifies rebirth, growth, renewal, and the end of winter. While not appearing pink in color, it represents a "waking up" of nature and is a time for setting intentions.

This Full Moon asks us to restore harmony by addressing imbalances, disharmony, and lack of reciprocity in our lives and relationships.

This Pink Full Moon symbolizes rebirth, growth, and beauty — ushering in a time for emotional release, heart-opening, balance, and inner peace.
