More from The Sword (but this time, on drugs):
Musicians and thespians tend to have extensive knowledge on the topic, too.

I’ve been reading The Sword, a comic series about a paraplegic who found a powerful sword and the three siblings who would do anything to reclaim it. The creators, the Luna Brothers, write realistic characters with intriguing storylines. I loved their two previous works, Ultra and Girls, so I felt compelled to read this new title.
The main character Dara acquired paraplegia after a car accident. She was cured very early on in the title, when she found the sword, but the event reads less like the desire for an abled title character and more like the revelation of the sword’s special abilities. The Luna Brothers do show Dara’s struggle with paraplegia in flashbacks. As I read about her past, I see that her present strength grew from her courage to confront her difficulties.
In these pages, Dara realizes the reality of her situation. When reading, I found this very moving. This is what it was like for me after my car accident. This is reality.

This is my outside class reading list. I’ve been triggered recently by several events in my personal life, and decided that it was time to tackle the resurrecting skeletons. Some of these books are more for people who are in abusive relationships while others are for those recovering, but both genres have been very illuminating when it comes to why he did it and validating when it comes to why I stayed.
But I already regret getting The Woman’s Comfort Book. It was highly recommended on Amazon, but I find the suggestions uninspiring. Take a scented bath? Indulge in brownies? Look in the mirror and tell your reflection that you accept your body? If I wanted those types of suggestions, I would have gotten an issue of Cosmo instead.
