Faith, Volume 1: Hollywood and Vine by Jody Houser
4.0
I was surprised how much I liked this. And it wasn't just the hero.
Usually, superhero-universe characters are too actiony or referential for me, unless they're not macro-universe-based (cf. [b: Ms. Marvel. Vol. 1: No Normal|20898019|Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1 No Normal|G. Willow Wilson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1413031883s/20898019.jpg|41250341], [b: Rising Stars: Born in Fire|237556|Rising Stars Born in Fire|Arthur Byron Cover|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328040373s/237556.jpg|14429549]).
Here, I loved how much time was spent on the practicalities of life as a superhero - with a dayjob, alias, exes, relationships.
Solid, readable, engaging.
Yeah, kinda loved it.
