It's one of those audios you wish was a little bit longer. The Ms. Marvel release was only 90 minutes and felt perfect to that time length. Going into Graphic Audio, it seems almost too long to listen to it for 6 hours. However a 3 hour audio drama is like a movie - which fits with their tagline "a movie in your mind". Whilst the Ms. Marvel release felt like a Netflix pilot. Which if anyone hasn't checked it out, check it out! It's only $10 for the download (or £6.49) and it's a great coming of age origin story with fantastic characters. Additionally it does away with the annoying narrator, and instead has the occasional bit of internal monologue from Kamala. Its exploration of Islam is interesting too; the dialogue from Kamala's father about saving a life, and also the defence of the veil/headscarves. Whilst I love Adrian Alpohona's art, it translations to audio very well. My only criticism is the scene in which the vision of Carol Danvers speaking in Arabic (I think, don't quote me on that) is given an English translation by the narrator (i.e. not by Carol or Kamala), which kind of takes me out of it. Great soundtrack too - although it's a shame they couldn't license any modern pop music as that may have given it a better flavour. The bonus interview doesn't have the best audio quality, as if it was recorded off the phone or Skype, but G Willow Wilson says some great stuff about her intent for the series.

Rumour has it Rhonda Rousey is up for a movie version.

i loved guardians of the galaxy steal the galaxy. the first disk was ok i thought the voice talent was just ok. then the story takes off with disk 2 and all the side characters are terific, it got better and better as it went on. i wanted more of everybody. i want a nova corp spinoff series i want a spaceknight spinoff series. i still cant believe someone made spaceknights cool. i got the book because i wanted more.
so that 4 ive heard 2 i loved the dan abnett ones, 1 i liked the death of cap , and 1 i did not the boring ant man. i just ordered 2 more civil war and avengers breakout.
for 20 bucks you get a ton of audio.

Richard Rohan voices both Batman & the Joker on GA audios.
Deadpool Paws is a hilarious fourth wall, violent, crazy story that you'll either love or loathe, i loved it personally.
Definitely not one for the kiddies to hear.
