[QUOTE="Elodan, post: 7128125, member: 8006"] Another month, another thread. Going to catch up with what I read since I last posted, I read [I]Bound [/I]by Benedict Jacka (the 8th Alex Verus novel). Another good read. While there's a lot happening, it sometimes feels like the story isn't moving forward. These is supposed to be the penultimate book in the series, and it feels like there's two or three more novels worth of materials to go. I also finished [I]Lord of the Fire Lands[/I] by Dave Duncan. Decent fantasy in the King's Blades series. I'm currently about half way through [I]Silent Hall[/I] by NS Dolkart. It sort of feels like a sandbox D&D campaign where the characters are just going from place to place with no real central story. There's a fair amount of exposition about the gods of the setting (it is the first book in the Godserfs series). Decent writing but I feel like I could put the book down, never read it again, and wouldn't care what happens to the characters. Comics I read Marvel's [I]Star Wars: Han Solo[/I] trade. I thought this was an excellent read. Felt like it kept true to the character and Han's growth during the original trilogy. I also took my birthday money and bought a lot of DC's rebirth titles. [LIST] [*][I]Action Comics Vol 1 - Path of Doom[/I]. The issue is essentially one big fight but there's also a pretty good story mixed in. Going to pick up the next volume. [*][I]Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corp Vol 1 - Sinestro's Law[/I]. Deals with the return of the Green Lantern Corps (Hal, John, Guy) and sets up another fight with the Sinestro Corps. Does feel like it's treading over the same ground but I will be picking up the next one. [*][I]Wonder Woman Vol 1 - The Lies[/I]. It addresses the various origin stories and lives of Wonder Woman and the central issue is that Diana doesn't know which ones are true. There's a big bad who's really not a factor in the story and is defeated rather off-handily. Good enough to pick up Vol 2. [*][I]Detective Comics Vol 1 - Rise of the Batman[/I]. Decent story but like [I]Batman Vol 1 - I am Batman[/I] it didn't really grab me. Won't be picking the next one up. Will be grabbing Batman Beyond Vol 1. [*][I]Justice League Vol 1 - The Extinction Machines[/I]. Decent story. Not sure about picking up the next one yet. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
