Review: My Hero Academia: Vigilantes vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

At one point My Hero Academia was the best new thing I had read. The world was like Marvel or DC but grounded more in how our society works. The pacing was fast, and it seemed to avoid all the shonen pitfalls that the genre is known to have. Unfortunately, for me anyway, with the rise in popularity My Hero Academia became more and more Shonen, which some people love. When it works, it works, and the creators produce a lot of long-running content which keeps them working and busy. At some point, the formula needs to change because not every plotline can sustain the long-running and filler feeling nature of the style and that’s exactly my problem with the core My Hero Academia series.

Review: My Hero Academia vol. 13-14

By Dustin Cabeal

I seemed to have missed a volume in my reading. If you’ve followed the reviews for this series, you’ll see the gap, but it wasn’t planned. I lost track of where I was and just read. It felt like I had missed something, but not to the point that I was bothered by it… then I realized that I had read volume 14 and not 13… which made me wonder if it really mattered?

Review: My Hero Academia vol. 11

By Dustin Cabeal

Holy shit this was the volume I was waiting for! After all, this slow building that the story was going through I didn’t expect for All Might and One for All to throw down for real in this volume, but that’s exactly what happened.

Review: My Hero Academia vol. 10

By Dustin Cabeal

Unfortunately, My Hero Academia is become a story with cool moments, but not a cool story. At the start, this world felt like a very Japanese take on the modern American superhero stories. It’s quickly changed into a political story, which isn’t bad, but the politics always seem to be set up by attacking children.
