What's YOUR Origin Story?
It’s no secret that I love the Wizard of Oz series. I’ve spent a lot of time reading them as a child and beyond.
Marvel decided to do these. And I finally finished all the series. There is even an omnibus, which is big but awesome. The graphic novelizations are pretty good.
The Silent Patient was a book I had heard about, and decided I needed to read because of all of the buzz.
Author Alex Michaelides takes readers on a psychologically compelling tale of a woman who is silent, and presently serving time in a hospital for killing her husband.

At first, Maggie resists Eve’s impassioned argument about relocating permanently so the sisters can open their own local bakery.
The Kitchen is something that has been on my radar for a while. However, when I finally read it, I felt like there was something missing. I was either looking for Tarantino or Brubaker, and I got something a little less.
I love the premise of women taking on the family business. I love the art and style of the book. It just fell a little flat.
I adore L. Frank Baum’s Oz. I remember reading the books and seeing the movies. I loved The Dreamer Of Oz (the biography with John Ritter) and Return to Oz. So when I heard about Marvel doing these treatments, I loved the idea of it.
And reading this, I feel like it is totally worth the read. For comic fans, and those who haven’t read comics before.
And, most importantly,
