It turns out the Jahpo the Old Timer’s goal all along was pretty simple- he’s been running all around the timelines after our girls because their time travel chaos is causing time to unravel, and he wants the world to like, not end. Understandable, really!

honestly its pretty tragic the way kj asks qanta if she wants “all that blood on her hands” referring to not saving jahpo and erasing all the potential ancestors, and then like... within the next issue has to kill a man and erase all of his ancestors

This week in comics: I’m finally reading at the pool again! Summertime...and the living is easy...well, maybe not easy, but the comics at the pool part is good. 

Captain Marvel #1: I read this awhile ago, and now I need to catch up on Carol’s adventures (the arc with Doctor Strange looks fun, but I may skip the Kree traitor stuff that’s coming up). The art here is good, and I’d follow Kelly Thompson pretty much anywhere at this point, including the apocalyptic future. (Speaking of Kelly Thompson, I’m going to finish her Kate Bishop Hawkeye series this summer, and then I want to check out West Coast Avengers.) 

The Legend of Wonder Woman #4: This is another series that I’m planning to finally finish this summer! (It’s only nine issues and I really like the art, but I just haven’t gotten into it somehow. Maybe because it’s WWII instead of WWI? I love the idea of seeing Diana punch Nazis, but we’re not there yet, and the build up just isn’t my cup of tea, I guess...) Anyway, we meet Etta Candy in this issue, and she helps Diana adjust to her strange new world. 

Mystery Science Theater 3000 #2: Dang, I love this comic! The art is so fun, and the way the jokes are incorporated into the illustrations really captures the spirit of the TV series. At the moment, Jonah’s busy having adventures with Black Cat, and Tom’s a junior reporter; I’m looking forward to more of Crow as the Crypt Keeper in issue #3...

Paper Girls #21-25: The penultimate arc of this series is really great! Now we’re finally learning how people and details from the past and present are connected, including Wari and Jahpo! Plus, clone Erin returns (though I guess we’re not supposed to call them clones--this is super uncool in the future!). I’m really going to miss this series, but I’m glad that I finally took the time to write in to the A.N.D.G. 

The Thrilling Adventure Hour #4: This is another comic I finished months ago, and I’m hoping that Boom! keeps putting out limited series like this--The Thrilling Adventure Hour is so much fun (I need to listen to more episodes), and the comics are a treat: what more do you need than love, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, demons, and tasty beverages? 

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #37-38: These issues remind me why I’m going to miss this series so much when it ends in November, but also why I look forward to rereading it. See above for ample evidence: also, did Ryan North predict the ending of Endgame?! Plus, I too have made the discovery Brain Drain did re: existential dread and water slides. 

War of the Realms Journey Into Mystery #1: Spoiler alert: this comic was as much fun as I was hoping it would be. This is exactly the kind of fun limited series that I’m glad the McElroys are writing: I love books like this, and they’re really (for me) the redeeming feature of big Marvel events, which I mostly ignore these days. The main series: no thanks. A road trip with Kate Bishop, Miles Morales, Thori the dog, other people, plus a baby? A thousand times yes!

Qanta and Wari and Jahpo :,)

Book-A-Day 2018 #370: Paper Girls, Vol. 5 by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang

Book-A-Day 2018 #370: Paper Girls, Vol. 5 by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang

Hey! The time-cops finally get named in this book! They’re called WATCH — we don’t know what that stands for, but baby steps, man, baby steps — and the old guy who runs them is Jahpo Thapa.

And our heroines learn more than his name, which I won’t spoil: they learn who he is and how he matters to them.

So, just maybe, Paper Girls Vol. 5 sees this series moving on from throwing out ideas at random…
