One of the more amusing things reading through all this Marvel stuff are the unlikely heroes that decide to bang. A few issues into a GotG run and Gamora slept with Tony Stark, and seemingly hurt him in the process.

Nice, love mecha. How's the artwork?
On par with most manga. I havent read another mecha manga to compare it to. It doesnt blow me away, but I think it looks pretty good.

Wonderful response on Alexander III of Macedon incorporating himself into a Persian framework. Pierre Briant coined Alexander as the last Achaemenid which the above post goes over.

Kirby Art&Style was alright I guess, but I probably wouldn't recommend it. Too much wasted page space on easily discovered promotional art from games, while the interesting/uncommon concept art and side material stuff was relegated to cramped, multiple per page pictures.

About to start Daisy Jones and the Six, someone left it at my job a month ago and I dig the series on Amazon so i'm gonna read the book I think. Story about a 60s/70s up and coming rock band, musical journey kind of thing.

At this point I may finish every GotG out there. Read a few hundred, keep going back to it for the stories, humor and art. Really dig Nova as a character.

Anyone have opinions on the book series Red Rising? Today was the 2nd time someone recommended it to me and I dont know much about it. Asked in the bookworm topic too.

Read Kirby's pitch for The Prisoner, it was awesome. His McGoohan is spot on.

Kind of random, but I've been reading the X-Wing series and now I'm inspired to play the EA Rogue Squadron game.

Wondering if any pilots from the books are in the game, and if so, if the game takes place after as I dont want to spoil anything for myself. It would suck if I was playing and they said something like "Corran died during the battle of Endor" and he's still alive in the book I'm on, etc.

IMO a safe bet to avoid spoilers would be to follow by release date. I looked at the wiki and here's what I saw:
Books 1-6 (1996-1998)
Rogue Squadron game (1998)
Books 7-9 (1999)
Battle for Naboo game (2000/spiritual successor in terms of gameplay)
Rogue Leader game (2001)
Rebel Strike game (2003)
Book 10 (2012)
Squadrons game (2020)

It's a great series based loosely on Welsh folklore. I read it when I was nine and have fond memories. Then I read it as a grown-up and I still enjoyed it a lot. Disney did a really bad adaptation in the '80s of the first two books.

Think fantasy adventure fairy-tail ish. Or Narnia without the overt Christian imagery.

Yeah, disney main butter is to adapt local folklore around the world and give happy endings to it.

I think it seems pretty cool. I do want to see more stories that doesn't involve Norse mythology.

Happy Easter! Still reading the X-Wing books, been in a small drought. Tried the first run of Gwenpool and wound up reading about 15 of them, pretty funny with some good character appearances.

I'm still terribly addicted to Midnight Suns so that game is cutting into reading time.

More publishers should do oblong/short side printing though, gutter loss can be absolutely brutal to nice 2 page spreads.

Read more of Sobotei today, about 800 pages left perhaps. The artwork continues to impress, I'll have to post some more panels tomorrow.
