    Uptown Oracle Reads… Inhumans (1998) Issues 1-12

    Inhumans (Affiliate Links) Inhumans (1998) is a limited series by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee which ran for nearly a year. It’s an introduction to the Inhumans and Attilan and the reason why I was excited to read it was because I loved the Inhuman’s characters in Fantastic Four. The run has easy world building…

    Reading throught the last of Season 2 of the Winx Club comics was easy reading, but also a lot more additional story than expected. All of them deviated from the OG series, and there’s multiple stories which connect with each other as well as previous comics which I enjoyed.

    Continuing with Season 2 of the Winx Club comics and we’re outside of the show territory completely at the moment. The last comic was focused on the Shaab Stone (and how the mission went horribly wrong) so hopefully this concludes in a good story arc for our characters.

    I’m still on my comic book binge after reading the previous Winx Club comics, and so here’s the next 5 in the series. These are the start of “season 2” of the comics, and align with Season 2 of the TV show as we meet Aisha, although it deals mostly with the after season end…

    Uptown Oracle Reads… Winx Club Comics (Issues 11-16)

    Overall the final 6 comics of season 1 cover a lot of new content that the Winx Club TV show doesn’t. There’s context to different relationships and friendships, as well as characters aiming for growth throughout.

    Uptown Oracle Reads… Winx Club Comics (Issues 6-10)

    After finding out there will be a live-action adaptation of the Winx Club I’ve been on a full nostalgic binge after reading the first 5 comics and re-watching most of the TV show. The following issues are all in addition to the show, where some aspects are touched upon but these give more context and…

    Uptown Oracle Reads… Winx Club Comics (Issues 1-5)

    Overall the first 5 comics cover a lot of the same content that the Winx Club TV show does, but also adds a little bit more here and there which creates more depth to secondary characters early on, as well as the world building. I loved the welcome additional info on Alfea and Cloud Tower,…
