A pretty much 1 to 1 adaptation of the comic with okay artwork, wish it fixed some of the issues of the source material.

First introduction to Spider-Girl and it was great. Tom DeFalco knows how to tell a good Spidey story.

Another great book in the Murderbot series, although the ending made me sad.

Really fun adaptation of the first book published in the Drizzt series. The art manages to capture the vibe of the story so well and this was a great time.

This was excellent, probably my favourite Krieg book by Lyons. Like his prior two books he really tackled the Krieg from an interesting lens, this time viewing them from the view of the Ecclesiarchy.

This was everything that I would have wanted from a Siege of Vraks story, I revisited the Imperial Armour books after reading this and the sheer amount he manage to bring to life in this book is really impressive.

2.0

This book is ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED.

Is it good? NO.

Is it an amazing achievement of the literary form? Yes. 

Gender Fluid Predators who are INCREDIBLY HORNY and are down to get wasted. This is Canon now.

Shirley commits the cardinal sin for keeping vague antagonists scary by telling us waaaay to much about them....but this is the one time that I love it, because there is not a single HINGED thought going on in his brain.

Does the alien human bromance better than Project Hail Mary (THE SALAMANDER MAN STARTS EVERY SENTENCE WITH BRO once they become friends) and as a whole it's still better than The Predator.

Really solid array of short stories that introduce the world of Warhammer to fiction. Great artwork to accompany the stories and a pretty varied stock of tales.

LISTEN: Mecha-Nun kills a dragon and a cosmic horror fuckboi is vibes guys.

Jude Reid is by far one of my favourite Black Library authors, can't wait to see what she does next.
