![]() ![]() ![]() Why do they not dissolve it themselves,-the union between themselves and the State,-and refuse to pay their quota into its treasury? Do not they stand in the same relation to the State, that the State does to the Union? And have not the same reasons prevented the State from resisting the Union, which have prevented them from resisting the State? How can a man be satisfied to entertain an opinion m. After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule, is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. ![]()

Young Avengers, Vol. 1 by Kieron Gillen6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I was familiar with one or two of the characters and wondered if I’d get lost, but after only a few pages I was rocking right along. So it’s something of a relaunch using existing characters but introducing a new group and storyline. I’d heard good things about this series and after being smitten by The Wicked + The Divine, by the very same creative team, I made the time to check it out. Part of the Marvel Now! rebranding initiative, the title was meant to entice new readers. Fight scenes! Fake IDs! And plentiful feels! (aka “meaningful emotional character beats” for people who aren’t on tumblr.) Young Avengers is as NOW! as the air in your lungs, and twice as vital. No pressure, right? As a figure from Loki’s past emerges, Wiccan makes a horrible mistake that comes back to bite everyone on their communal posteriors. The critically acclaimed team of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie reinvent the teen super hero comic for the 21st century, uniting Wiccan, Hulkling and Kate “Hawkeye” Bishop with Kid Loki, Marvel Boy and Ms. Legacy isn’t a dirty word…but it’s an irrelevant one.

Dr strange with beard6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Eventually this led to estrangement from his family and the undoing of his relationship with a United Nations translator named Madeline Revell to whom he had proposed marriage. The more successful he became, the more arrogant he grew. Strange displayed phenomenal talent in his chosen field, and quickly attained wealth and notoriety. Nevertheless, he rapidly finished med school at a young age and became a successful neurosurgeon. Ironically, it was his inability to later save her from drowning when he was nineteen and on leave from college that undermined his belief in life’s meaning and the value of idealism. At the age of eleven he aided his younger sister Donna when she was injured, which proved to be a formative experience for him, and he was inspired to attend med school after high school. The eldest child of three, Strange was born in 1930 while his parents Eugene and Beverly Strange were on vacation in Philadelphia. At a young age, Stephen Strange had dreams of becoming a doctor. ![]()

![]() The plot is well-paced and the mystery keeps the reader interested up until Selwyn is able to figure out the puzzle that surrounds Farold’s death. The writing is simple and engaging, and the characters are well-painted. Vande Velde is a very prolific and decorated author, having won numerous Edgar Awards for her books. Why I finished it: The book jacket explains the book as a “mystery-horror-comedy” and the description pretty much fits perfectly. Why I picked it up: I read and enjoyed Heir Apparent and wanted to read more of Vande Velde’s writing. Unfortunately for Selwyn, Farold is just as annoying dead as he was alive, and it is going to take all of his restraint to keep from killing Farold for real. He is rescued by the witch Elswyth and makes a bargain with her to bring Farold back from the afterlife in order to help him prove his innocence. Synopsis: Selwyn Roweson has just been accused of murdering his rival and fellow villager Farold and as punishment for his crime, has been trapped in the burial caves with Farold’s corpse.
