Soon after, Milan got an email informing her that two formal ethics complaints had been filed against her with the Romance Writers of America, an organization whose members include some 9,000 published and aspiring romance authors. In those passages, Kathryn Lynn Davis, the book’s white author, describes her Chinese characters’ “slanted almond eyes” and “bronze faces, turned slightly yellow by the London climate.” Milan wrote: “As a half-Chinese person with brown eyes, seriously fuck this piece of shit.” In August of last year, a romance novelist named Courtney Milan tweeted a series of screenshots from a 1999 romance novel called Somewhere Lies the Moon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So if you’ve been struggling to figure out where to begin, or what to read next, strap in and check out my complete guide to reading Jason Aaron’s Thor. Marvel can’t ever seem to make this easy. On top of that, many of these issues have been collected multiple times across various editions, while others can be really difficult to find in any physical format at all. And to complicate things further, this run was also crisscrossed by three major Marvel events ( Original Sin, Secret Wars, and War of the Realms). However, the story jumps across a number of different series, and even the mainline series was renamed multiple times during this era. It includes now-famous plotlines, such as Thor hunting down Gorr the God Butcher and Jane Foster becoming Thor. Jason Aaron’s mighty run on Thor is highly regarded, and it’s also the inspiration behind the movie Thor: Love and Thunder. ![]() ![]() To find out why, she enlists the help of a warrior ant, and the two set off on separate journeys into a harsh and violent world.

The result is a translation with minimal interpretation, but with impeccable annotations of unfamiliar references and a masterful introduction placing the work and its author in the broader contexts of political philosophy and statesmanship. It remains the most often quoted book about the United States, not only because it has something to interest and please everyone, but also because it has something to teach everyone. When it was published in 2000, Harvey Mansfield and Delba Winthrop's new translation of Democracy in America-only the third since the original two-volume work was published in 18-was lauded in all quarters as the finest and most definitive edition of Tocqueville's classic thus far. ![]() ![]() The book he wrote on his return to France, Democracy in America, is both the best ever written on democracy and the best ever written on America.
