Alien vs. Alien by Gini Koch
4.0
This series is just so much fun to read and this book is no exception. It's over the top as usual but I found I really loved Kitty when separated from Jeff & Chuckie. Don't get me wrong, I love the gang all together (and I really loved the rundown of whose everyone's Avengers counterpart was), but sometimes the dudes get too much into the macho posturing so it was fun to just have Kitty working through the disaster with the folks on hand. Plus the peregrines of course. I love the AC animals and the peregrines are a great counterpart to the poofs. Seriously, how awesome are the AC animals? I'm prone to be on the animal's side so I even loved Bellie.
As always there was nonstop action and humor. By now I love all the inside jokes, Christopher's "patented glare #whatever", Jeff's bellowing, the conspiracy theorists who are actually right.
I think the tone of this series either works for you or it doesn't. I think that's how it always is with humor. Personally I admit that I'm kind of tired of brooding, destructive superheroes so the fact that Kitty is delighted by her powers so that she can help save the world, and the people she loves, is so refreshing. If I have a complaint is that our cast it so big now I could probably use a character list or family tree or something to remember exactly who everyone is. But that's a pretty minor complaint compared to how much fun I had reading it.
