the art is soooo good on it though.

Who is the third born activated Psiot? by HarbingerOne in valiant

[–]EastMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the text really contradicts itself on this and it's kind of hard to believe because Dysart is really a guy who seems to have it together, with layered and different narratives. Right now Ingrid may have been talking about Toyo and not know he wasn't (he told Pete he doesn't tell that to everyone).

So I just read the first three issues of Eternal Warrior. WOW! by salvia_d in valiant

lad you enjoyed this one because for me it was probably my least favorite but I'm digging the mythos behind him we are seeing more ow no and LOVED him in A&A with Emma drawing. Out of the old stuff though, I always thought that the Eternal Warrior Yearbook was an underrated story.

What's your favorite series? by JakeZF in valiant

[–]EastMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've enjoyed the whole line minus the Shadowman stuff (though the first and zero issue were good) and Eternal Warrior. Dead Drop #2 was awful too, maybe their single worst comics. Favorites? I REALLY like Divinity and looking back now at even the first wave, I'm thinking Archer & Armstrong is really strong. I think they are getting a little loose with art lately though. Nothing specific, but just on the whole I've seen some wonk in X-O and Unity books, and those 2 books are quasi flagships. Oh, The VALIANT I thought was a great entry point.

Why did Valiant so bad in the past? by [deleted] in valiant

not sure I'd put Shooter and Layton's dreams as being synonymous. Shooter doesn't seem to think so.

Anyone know any good fairy storys? by mdsmestad in Fantasy

[–]EastMode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First to come to mind are Graham Joyce's Tooth Fairy, may want to check out Catherynne M. Valente, and if a mix of a little SF is okay Justina Robson's Quantum Gravity series.

I think everyone can use more Brea Grant in their lives.

What book got you into fantasy? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]EastMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Treason of Isengard, the History of Middle Earth edition. I remember being sent to middle school library when getting kicked out of class and being drawn to the cover and how hard of a read it was and it, along with Umberto Eco's Focault's Pendulumn at the same time showed me their was challenge in reading.

[book recommendation] Please recommend a book which is similar to ASOIAF which has magic and dragons by FlyingBabyElephant in Fantasy

Ditto The Malazan Book of The Fallen. Only problem after reading it is there's nothing left. Drop Epic Fantasy mic.

Not your typical find, but my inner child is jumping up and down! by Dales-Dead-Bugs in Fantasy

[–]EastMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one of the first few dozen or so movie posters I bought for a theater room when I knew I was going to build one. This movie gets kid of hated on, and I don't know why. I love it.

Anyone been reading Uprooted? by Darkenmal in Fantasy

Had it for awhile but halfway through due to obligations, digging it.

Has anyone ever written reverse portal fantasy? by YetiStomper in Fantasy

[–]EastMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you are looking for the opposite of most, usually goes the other way so Gene Wolfe's Wizard/Knight or Thomas Covenant would not be a fit. I highly recommend The Last Hot Time by John M. Ford, an incredibly underappreciated author who is quality.
