Feel-good anime series is pretty hard to find, though this shojo series is popular for several reasons; the way its heroine, Tohru is portrayed, the way she helps the Sohma family cope with their turbulent life and how we get to really know each character.

There are plenty of animations out there that don't fall into the standard anime category of characters with big eyes and even bigger hai that I have been tasked with reviewing for the most part, but this doesn't make it any less interesting as it has elements to it that separate it from what I am used to watching.

Spider-Man: The Venom Factor: A Marvel Omnibus
Author: Diane Duane

Pages: 656

Reviewed by: Sandra Scholes
I enjoyed the last Marvel Omnibus I reviewed; X-Men and the Avengers: The Gamma Quest Omnibus by Greg Cox, so I got quite a shock when this tome was mailed to me. Here, we have Spider-Man facing three of his enemies: Venom, The Lizard and Doctor Octopus in the form of three of Diane Duane's stories, The Venom Factor, The Lizard Sanction and The Octopus Agenda.
