pop !! goes the bottle of champagne. inez tucks the top into her pocket and shows off the freed bottle with a grin. "hell if i know," she says before taking a rather undignified swig from the bottle. inez offers it to neena when she's done. "it's french, ain't it ?? prob'ly cheese."

"Well now you're making me hungry. And I honestly don't know what goes well with champagne because it's so damn dry."

Review: 

I didn’t hate my time reading this, which I’m aware doesn’t sound like a particularly thrilling endorsement. This book wasn’t bad by any means, and I’m sure that lots of people will love it! The action segments were well described and exciting, and the perspective of a character whose actions invariably end up being more heroic than she’s interested in being is always a fun time. The nods to the wider Marvel universe were also good, and for the most part they were minor enough that they didn’t feel like they were overtaking the story itself.

Unfortunately I was hoping for a lot more.

There are three timelines followed through this book. There’s Neena’s childhood, an incident from when she was ~21, and the present day when she’s ~27. I didn’t mind the switching between the three periods too much, but I did mind the overall effect this had, that being that none of the storylines or any of the characters had any real depth to them. Neena tells us that she had friends at first as a kid, but there’s no time for us to learn any of their names, let alone truly examine how Neena herself felt at the time. Neena tells us that she’s close with her teammates in the present, but all I can tell you about those teammates is their names and that one of them is also a mutant, they didn’t seem to have any personality for themselves. Neena’s own personality is pretty flimsy, too. She’s a typical snarky protagonist who tries to live in the moment but, despite herself, ends up helping other people, especially when children are involved. That’s it. There just wasn’t enough room to develop the plots and characters well and have three different timelines going at once. Something had to give, and it’s a shame that development and depth was sacrificed.

Also, footnotes in prose fiction are a tricky thing to get right. They’re rarely used because they rarely work. They don’t work here. There wasn’t a single time that a footnote was used where what was said couldn’t have just been put in the prose itself, and the book would’ve been better for it. In fact, at one point near the end Neena’s narration mentions that she’d told the reader something already, when that specific thing had only been mentioned in a footnote! I was making sure to read all the footnotes, which made reading this take longer than I would’ve liked it to, but there are definitely readers out there who will assume that there isn’t anything overly important in the footnotes and so won’t bother. 

I was really looking forward to this, and I’m disappointed that it missed the mark. If you’re looking for a fast paced book full of action then there’s every possibility that you’ll enjoy this one! As someone who cares a lot about characters in what they read, it just didn’t end up being for me.

I received an e-arc through Netgalley in return for an honest review.

i, enjoyer of the comic books Domino and Domino: Hotshots by Gail Carriger and also the novels Domino: Strays and Outlaw: Relentless by Tristan Palmgren, and specifically Domino’s Posse, have a declaration to make:

it is absolutely VITAL that at some point, over drinks, Diamondback told Domino and Outlaw about the events of Cable & Deadpool issue #20 by Fabian Nicieza.

i need me one of them pinned posts, so here we go !!  name’s alex ( she/her ), 25+ ( if you’re UNDER 21 please don’t underact ), i’ve been rping inez “outlaw” temple of marvel comics on tumblr since 2013 ( OG blog is @buryme-withmyspurs-a ).  here’s some useful links: rules, about, && verses - a loose guideline.  all comic icons are made my me, all headcanons are formed of my own, uh, head.  i follow ( as in this blog follows.  i personally have no goddamn clue what’s going on in comics rn.  everyone say hiii to the giant stack of single issues that’s been sitting behind my computer chair since 2017 ) the current 616 continuity, but the last she’s been seen was outlaw: relentless by tristan palmgren ( which you absolutely should go buy and read right now -- my girl has a SOLO NOVEL !!! ) so, assume she’s still running with domino and diamondback, and is still in contact with atlas bear, white fox, and black widow.

IMPORTANT: by default, unless plotted otherwise, outlaw is engaged to deadpool ( @regeneratingdegenerate ).  wadeinez is a crucial piece to this blog and the canon created around my portrayal of outlaw.  we’ve been building up their relationship since 2013.  they’re the default mainverse ship.

i'm being more lax with this atm because i don't know if/when luke will ever return lol: i am mutually exclusive with @regeneratingdegenerate‘s deadpool, meaning that his is the only deadpool i will be interacting with on this blog.  if we're mutuals, if we have rped together in the past with your version of deadpool, or you’re a deadpool interested in threading, please feel free to reach out to me to discuss.

my disco is available to mutuals.  feel free to reach out to plot or anything like that <3 my other marvel blogs include: @someonesassassin (elektra), @desirenotneed (shiklah), @spyderina (black widow), and @radishflower (which is a multi-fandom multi-muse where i have sandi brandenberg). these are all at varying stages of activity from none to some, but i really want to get back into writing !!
