Review: My Hero Academia Volume 6 *SPOILERS*

 

I have a feeling that I am going to be reviewing a good amount of My Hero Academia for the rest of the year because my husband has really gotten into the anime show and he has told my daughter and I to hurry up and read because he loves to binge watch and he will watch the show without us....lol. So I requested volume 6, 7 and 8 from the library.

The problem with these are that my daughter reads them before I do and she has no filter. She will spoil the hell out of me, hence the spoiler warning in the title.

The beginning of this volume sees the U.A. students starting internships and picking out their hero names. This was the first spoiler I got from my kid and all I will say is grape juice. Which is hilraious because at the time, I was drinking a glass of grape juice and the character that chose it is a perv.

We also get a secondary pov that is from the League of Villians which made the story even more interesting. It kept my attention. Also Midoriya gets a new mentor and his mentore is so freaking tiny and grumpy. I LOVE IT!

Ida's character really got on my nerves this volume. His need to do everything by himself and the need for vengence for his brother got very annoying, especially with Midoriya's constant inner dialogue....ugh.

“The Blue Flame …is a triumph” -- SYFY Wire

"A perfect 10." -- Comics Bookcase

“…one of the most thought-provoking stories in comics all year.” – SYFY Wire

"...a vital modern superhero story." -- Comicbook.com

“With a rich, multifaceted narrative (it touches on, among other reference points, Birdman and Strange Adventures), the book is a gripping exploration of why people become heroes, and what that ultimately means in every sense (logistical, emotional, philosophical, etc.)” – AIPT

“…an intriguing and rich read…” – Comics Bookcase

“The Blue Flame … is a supremely confident, deliberate, and interesting comic. Every element of craft in this book is not only well-done but deployed in a way that serves a greater unified narrative, one that gets at the heart of the intersection of the fantastic and the tragic. It’s brilliant work. 10/10.” – Comics Bookcase

“If you like brilliant art and clever storytelling this is one to pick up.” – Comic Watch

“The Blue Flame … presents a crisscrossing narrative that pays homage to Silver Age comics and sci-fi serials, setting up a mystery that crosses time and space. Comic fans old and new should give this title a read, as it presents classic tropes in a fresh new way. [It] has also raised a set of questions that will keep readers … hooked.” – But Why Tho?

Inspired by his own childhood and packed with clever illustrations, George Lopez's sequel to ChupaCarter sees Jorge finally feeling at home in his new town, thanks to his awesome friends Liza and Ernie—and especially Carter, the chupacabra.

New kid Jorge is shocked to learn that his beastly friend Carter isn't the only legendary creature in Boca falls. Every few years, the town is terrorized by a haunted . . . piñata? Rumor has it that the petrifying party decoration floats around setting eerie fires to avenge a long-ago betrayal. Jorge can't help but laugh, until a rash of green fires forces the townspeople to consider moving away, including the parents of his pals Ernie and Liza!

With Carter at their side, the three friends are in a race against time to catch the real culprit before they're separated forever . . . or the whole town is set aflame. Which will come first?
