It's Thursday, I'm tired, this is Dora Reads - so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Dora Reads is the book blog of a Bookish Rebel, supporting the Diversity Movement, bringing you Queer views and mental health advocacy, slipping in a lot of non-bookish content, and spreading reading to the goddamn world! :) (All posts may contain Amazon links, which are affiliate, unless marked otherwise.

Still, I can't help but feel - and I know other people will agree - that we're in the middle of a particularly weird and wacky period.
The 2020s haven't exactly been an easy ride so far, and it looks like that isn't changing any time soon.
But whoever you are, wherever you are - keep going.
'He looked up at the sky and sent a question to the stars.
“Loki, are you there?”
No answer.'
This is a melancholy little story about love and loss...

(Just goes to show that taking a chance on something sometimes pays off.)
