Description

Black ComicsDie westlichen Demokratien, insbesondere Deutschland, haben intensiv damit begonnen, sich mit ihrer kolonialen Geschichte auseinanderzusetzen. Dabei tun sich schmerzhafte Abgrnde aus Raub, Verschleppung, Versklavung und Vlkermord auf, die viel zu lange durch die Fiktion von Abenteuertum und vermeintlicher Zivilisationsentfaltung kaschiert wurden. Die Realitt sah anders aus: menschenverachtend und grausam. Und was sagt der Comic dazu? Man kann schwer

Die westlichen Demokratien, insbesondere Deutschland, haben intensiv damit begonnen, sich mit ihrer kolonialen Geschichte auseinanderzusetzen. Dabei tun sich schmerzhafte Abgründe aus Raub, Verschleppung, Versklavung und Völkermord auf, die viel zu lange durch die Fiktion von Abenteuertum und vermeintlicher Zivilisationsentfaltung kaschiert wurden. Die Realität sah anders aus: menschenverachtend und grausam. Und was sagt der Comic dazu? Man kann schwer erwarten, dass die Kulturprodukte rassistischer Gesellschaften nicht auch ein ebensolches Bild abgeben würden. Ein Negativbeispiel ist zum Beispiel Hergés 'Tim im Kongo' von 1930, in dem der blonde belgische Reporter an der Seite katholischer Missionare den 'dummen' Afrikanern Bildung und Tugendhaftigkeit bringt. Aber: Nur neun Jahre später machte es Jijé besser und bescherte dem europäischen Comic - mitten in der Besatzung Belgiens durch die Nazis - einen schwarzen Jungen als Titelhelden ('Blondin et Cirage'). Außerdem: Trotz seiner kolonialen Agenda wird 'Tim im Kongo' im Kongo selbst zu einem Bestseller und rangiert bis heute in Afrika unter den beliebtesten Comic-Titeln. Das Album wird zur Initialzündung einer eigenen afrikanischen Comic-Kultur: circa 50 Prozent der Comic-Künstler und -Künstlerinnen des gesamten Kontinents stammen aus dem Kongo. Das Beispiel zeigt: Mit plumpen Klischees und schnellen Verurteilungen ist hier wenig Staat zu machen. Das Thema ist sehr komplex und steckt voller Ambivalenzen. Zu Beginn der 1950er-Jahre prangerte der EC-Verlag den Rassismus in den USA und die Machenschaften des Ku-Klux-Klans an. In den frühen 1970ern erweiterten Jack Kirby und Co. den Superhelden-Kosmos um eine ganze Riege afroamerikanischer Helden, angeführt vom 'Black Panther'. Der Kampf der Bürgerrechtsbewegung hatte gefruchtet. Nun gab es nicht nur schwarze Helden, sondern sie wurden auch zunehmend von afroamerikanischen Künstlern gezeichnet. Immer stärker setzte die Black Community in der Comic-Landschaft eigene Akzente und Independent-Autoren und -Zeichner wie Ho Che Anderson oder Kyle Baker huldigten in Graphic Novels ihren Idolen Martin Luther King oder Nat Turner. Heute ist die Comic-Szene von New York bis Kapstadt, von Paris und Brüssel bis Kinshasa so vielstimmig und bunt wie nie zuvor. Zur Ausstellung erscheint dieses umfangreiches Katalogbuch, das die Ausstellung deutlich ausweitet: mit wesentlich mehr Exponaten und tiefgehenden Texten. Auf seine herausragende Weise bietet Dr. Alexander Braun dem Leser neue Erkenntnisse, hebt verborgene Schätze, stellt Zusammenhänge her und unterhält durch seinen eleganten Schreibstil. Ein neues Standardwerk. "Black Comics" wurde mit dem "PENG"-Preis des Münchener Comicfestivals für das beste Sekundärwerk über Comics des Jahres 2025 ausgezeichnet.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Just read it. You won’t regret it.
Format: Hardcover
This book completely blew me away. I loved every single character—not just the FMC and MMC, but the side characters too, which is rare. In a first book, side characters can feel flat while the focus is on world-building, but that definitely wasn’t the case here. The romantic tension between the FMC and MMC was so good—seriously addictive. The plot itself felt pretty straightforward at first, and the world-building was easy to follow. It even gave me Heartless Hunter / Wolf King vibes… until the last 20 pages. And wow—those final pages. I usually spot plot twists coming, and I thought this one was going to be predictable, but I was completely wrong. That ending genuinely shocked me—I haven’t had that reaction to a book in a long time. I’m already counting down to book two (and that teaser chapter? Absolutely brutal). Just read it. You won’t regret it.

4 Stars for Now!
Format: Kindle
I DEVOURED this book. I was in a huge slump after reading a horrible series right before this but after 3 pages of this book, I was hooked. I read the whole book in 2 days. I think the author did an amazing job at writing an engaging story with an amazing twist at the end. I know many readers feel betrayed by the twist and find the narrator to be unreliable but I feel that the twist was done in a great unsuspecting way. Though I do feel betrayed, I think there is so much room for redemption in the second book! The author also did an amazing job at world/character building. She was able to do so without interrupting the story which is one of my huge pet peeves. A lot of authors build by taking breaks in the plot or dialogue which I find choppy and disengaging but this author was able to build in an engaging way. There was some lack of world/character building but I think that was due to keeping reader in the dark. The world, politics, and characters were all very easy to understand. I found the romance a little lackluster and a bit off-kilter. Some of it was really pushy and rushed which left a bad taste in my mouth. I do hope the author delves deeper into the romance in coming books. The FMC was a breath of fresh air. She was not whiny or stuck-up like most books. She was never afraid to accept help from others but she was still able to shine with her intelligence. Not once did I think she made a poor decision just for the sake of a plot point. She was really easy to like. The MMC could use some work but I think that will happen more in coming books. This is a MUST read, my only advice would be to wait until it is a finished series!
