Book Review: "Ace Marvel Spy" by Jenni L. Walsh

New #bookreview + #literaryhypepodcast interview: If you're like me and love sports, comics, and WWII history, do I have the book for you. Jenni L Walsh is giving insight into the real life story of Alice Marble in "Ace. Marvel. Spy." Check out my full review & interview here:

Sometimes, I get a book pitch that sounds like it’s absolutely perfect for me. Sports, comics, and World War II historical fiction based on a real woman? Sign me up immediately. Ace Marvel Spy by Jenni L. Walsh [Buy Bookshop Amazon LibroFM] is a novel about Alice Marble, who I hadn’t heard of before. Most of this book is told in a dual timeline, with one walking us through Alice’s early days…

Bruce Wayne wakes up in the past, five months after Jason Todd died, and spends most days sat beside the grave because he never found out exactly when Jason had come back and he wanted to be there to save him when he did.

From an outside perspective, everyone is extremely concerned.

One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.

When Jason starts building his crime lord career, people start inexplicably comparing him to Matches Malone. They have the same mannerisms, the same fighting styles and a similar build. Some rogues even have theories that they're the same guy.

So when ever Matches is mentioned, red hood mutters "fuck that guy" under his breath and since Bruce puts his whole batussy into his personas, he's starts reciprocating that energy. All the rogues are scrambling to find out what happened to cause this beef. The entire Gotham underground now has to pick a side between one of their own who they've worked with and gotten to know over the years versus the new up and coming crime lord that's offering jobs and improving their lives. While Jason is wondering what he can do to stop being compared to Bruce, Bruce is trying to be a supportive parent (which means making sure the rogues don't turn on J) while protecting his persona he's been curating for years.

Flashback: Jason Todd when he discovered one of the trainers the Al Ghul's got for him was a child trafficker

*based off a story from the book

Jason (shocked): They… were just children.

His trainer (indifferent): Don't be so dramatic; it was necessary.

Jason (seething with rage): They were just children… and you were trafficking them.

His trainer (indignant): I did what was necessary—

Jason (raising his voice, gripping a knife): THEY WERE JUST CHILDREN, AND YOU TRAFFICKED THEM!

-----------------------------------

Jason (finishing the story): And then I murdered him in cold blood. It was fun… I think I felt true euphoria that day. Oh, and I let the kids go.

Bruce (too stunned and upset to speak): …

Dick (whispering, impressed): Resist the urge to clap.

Tim (horrified): Holy crap, did you have to detail it like that?

Jason: It's not a good story if I leave out the important parts. Like the time I recounted how I beat you up and won, I had to include the part where I stabbed your hand.

Tim (exasperated): You didn't have to and you didn’t win that! You cuffed me to a chimney at the last minute and ran off! I forgive you though, but I won that fight!

Jason (coolly): Seems like a win on my side to me. Anyway, Ra's kept assigning me trainers who were pedophiles, murderers, drug dealer; people I wouldn't let a child around. They all kept rationalizing their crimes, and somehow they kept running into my knife, or getting in the path of my gun, or “accidentally” falling off a bridge. That’s all I’ll say about that.

Tim rolled his eyes, relieved that Jason hadn’t explicitly detailed those killings. Damian and Stephanie, however, had the opposite reaction and stood up, applauding.

Cass (with a blank expression): Jason?

Jason (worried): Yes?

Cass (nodding approvingly): I’ll allow it.

Jason (smiling): Thanks!

Duke: Can somebody pass the cranberry sauce? Also, can I go next? I can top Jason's story! Let’s just say I didn’t buy that katana; nah, I earned that!

Bruce sighed, covering his eyes in frustration.

Bruce: This is the weirdest fucking Thanksgiving, but at least it hasn't gotten worse—

Alfred (making it worse): Talia and Ra's are here.

Damian (pleasantly surprised): Oh, they actually showed up!

Bruce slammed his head on the table.

Dick: That means "God… Damn it!"

sitting down to write isn't really about creating a story, it's about getting the story onto the page before it destroys me

GET YOUR HEALTHY DOSE OF AMERICAN STYLE SPLENDOR RIGHT HERE -- THE VERY FINEST.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on late, great American comic book writer Harvey Pekar, posing with a copy of "American Splendor" Vol. 1 #5 (c. 1980), in his Cleveland Heights, Ohio, home, c. 1986. 📸: Unknown/undisclosed.

ROBERT CRUMB: "You turned yourself into a comic hero?"

HARVEY PEKAR: "Sorta, yeah. But no idealized shit. No phony bullshit. The real thing, y'know? Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff."

Batman being Gordon Ramsey figure in the lead.

Batman yelling at all the adults who should know better because “What the HELL we’re you thinking Hal. You were supposed to keep watch not wonder off god-knows-where doing god-knows-what.”

Batman hugging all the younger hero’s after a mission gone wrong. Giving them food, blankets, hot drinks, and settling them in for the night. Being a figure who provides them advice and comfort and whenever they need. Pulling out lollipops and capri suns from his belt whenever he patrols with them.

It's the bug gang!

Bug Fact: Caterpillars have 12 eyes! Kinda. They have simple eyes called, stemmata, all along their body. Vision is very blurry.
