Reading Diary B: Ghatotkacha

One of the characters I have always wanted to learn more about is Ghatotkacha. He is the son of Bhima from the Pandeva brothers. It is crazy to see how big of a role he has in the Pandeva’s success in this comic book. He has so many amazing powers that help him throughout the story. In the end he dies a heroic death in the fight between the Kauravas and the Pandevas. He is one of my new facorite characters from the epics I have read so far.

Reading Diary A: Hanuman to the Rescue

I have been reading a lot of comic books today. I am trying to get my reading diaries done before the semester gets really busy. Today I read Hanuman to the Rescue. This comic book adds a lot of detail to the time Hanuman retrieves the herbs from the mountain to save Lakshmana. He has to battle many warriors, carry a mountain, and even stop the sun from moving so that he can get back in time. In the end Lakshmana is saved.
