Re: The Devil's Thread: Matt Wagner's Grendel
I will say this though - my initial impression of a Grendel In Space story is one of some mild skepticism... I think it will end up being just as great as all the rest of the series has ever been, but it does seem like an odd choice to make a space opera out of a book largely grounded in a future t...

Re: What video game are you currently playing?
Done with the first Witcher. I took my time getting to this franchise, but after I read the short stories collections and the novels (read 7 books in 2 weeks or so), I was reaaaaaally curious about the games. In terms of plot, this had one of the greatest twists I ever experienced, that with Alvin ...

Re: The Devil's Thread: Matt Wagner's Grendel
And I was going to say, after reading Past Prime I was really wishing there was a new Grendel series based on The Paladin... turns out there *will* be!!! Matts newest Grendel project is set in the Grendel Prime era! :o Set for release in October: https://www.newsarama.com/44322-matt-wagner-s-grende...

Re: 20+ years of Valiant website... too frustrating?
I have to dare you, Greg- you have to find the time in your life to go and write a Valiant history book. Seriously, you are the guy who could do it, and we would kickstart the heck out of it.
Congrats on another awesome source for Valiant stuff.

Re: Harbinger - Probably the greatest team book since...well
Its not only the best VEI (or all Valiant, honestly) series that I read but it is the one V book that made me feel stuff I never expected to feel while reading a comic made by a superhero publisher.

Re: Comics series that took the longest time for you to fini
Naruto. I started reading this back around 2007, and used to buy 5-ish books at a time from Amazon and read them on my lunch breaks at work. I read probably about the first 50 books, and when I quit that job to take up a degree I had neither the time or the money to spend on it, and I haven't got a...

Re: The Gamebooks Thread
Ok, as I said in the previous post, here's my final thoughts on YOU ARE THE HERO, the book on the story of FF books. This belongs in the shelf of any fan of the genre, let alone FF. Its simply a must-have item. Details/behind-the-scenes stuff related to the original line are on the hundreds; artwork...
