Deadly class is a really awesome read.
The story follows one boy who used to be homeless at his new school where he and his classmates are training to be assassins. It is a very graphic story, but that should be assumed
I would definitely continue reading this story, because of the art. My favorite part of this volume was the coloring. Most pages are monochromatic, which I find to be really balanced and easy to look at, and the color hues that were used look so nice against the black ink. There are scenes throughout with only hues of complimentary colors which looks amazing, and the second half of this volume the crew is in Vegas and are tripping on acid -- the colors and drawings are remarkable.
I found myself really liking this story. The main character is likeable even though he is clearly a psychopath. He is definitely troubled but even still, you find yourself wanting him to be safe, be okay, stay out of trouble.

Captain Marvel - Volume 1
I wanted to know more about female lead superhero's so my co-worker recommended Captain Marvel.
This is one of the first superhero comics I've ever read so I was very overwhelmed. The way the story was laid out and the graphics seemed really busy to me, compared to the other comics I have been reading, overall I found it to be confusing because all these new superhero characters were popping in and out, and I had no idea who they were!
I haven't read anything about Guardians of the Galaxy or seen the new movie so this was my first introduction to these characters so I really didn't know much about what was going on or how they were all connected to each other.
Even though I felt intimidated while reading this, I still enjoyed it. Captain Marvel is one bad bitch who is best buds with her cat and loves being a pilot over everything else. She leaves her hot boyfriend on earth so she can pursue her dreams of going to space and learning more about herself (which rules!!). She seems to have a large passion for those who are less fortunate and believes in loyalty and justice. One groovy gal.
