Marvel and Benefit SpyGal: Thrills, Frills, & Espionage No.1 Review

-

Some of you may recall my joyous outpourings back in May when I received news that Marvel Custom Solutions and Benefit Cosmetics would be teaming up to bring us SpyGal #1. Well, since that day I have searched high, low, and every where in between to locate myself a copy and my patience has been rewarded. After a snap decision to stop into Ulta to check out the latest nail polish selections, there it sat behind the checkout counter beaming in all its fabulous glory. The checkout girl gladly added it to my bag along with the fact that she thought the story was so cute and hoped I enjoyed it. Did you hear that, comic review naysayers out there? I just said that a girl that doesn't read comics thought the story was really good! Possible comic convert at Ulta alert!






The story is just fantastic - simple, but fantastic. SpyGal isn't here to push an image of beauty at us. She's here to protect women from being pushed down by the evil agents of YUCK. SpyGal is plucky and independent, a single girl who's not afraid to run head first into danger to protect her charge. Her entire look is simple and stylish. Elegant cat eye liner, flawless skin, classic red lips all wrapped up in fabulous attire that any girl of any age can rock. SpyGal is about empowering women to realize you can be at the top of your game and still look polished without being too much. She also teaches us, in a few simple panels, not to let embarrassing situations set us back. Get up, brush yourself off, and keep going with a smile. Don't let the YUCK Agents keep you down ladies!






SpyGal: Thrills, Frills, & Espionage No.1 is a must have for any Benefit Gal, cosmetics junkie, comic book fan, or collector. It's a feel good read and all around positive story. If your local comic book store cannot locate it or order it then contact your nearest Ulta or Sephora stores. Mine was a free gift with purchase at Ulta so be sure to ask about that as well. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to save the world and look fabulous doing it!

After 3 seasons of following the adventures of Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph across the four kingdoms of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, fans will finally get to see what happens after the series ends.  In Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise Part 1 , we pick up immediately after the end of the series to find our heroes along side Fire King Zuko and Earth King Kuei deciding how best to handle the removal of the Fire Nation colonies.  It's decided that The Harmony Restoration Movement, named by Sokka of course, will uproot and move all the Fire Nation colonists back to their homeland in the Fire nation and out of the Earth Nation territory.  A fine idea to be sure but it's soon realized some things are not as easy as they seem and Aang must learn if he can bring peace to the Movement as well as keep a difficult promise to a friend. The book contains the usual hi jinks of course, coupled with the its ability to tackle big social and economic issues much like the show did.
