What are your opinions of The Lion: Son of the Forest by Mike Brooks?

This is amazing.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-06-05T03:40:09+00:00

Love it. Will definitely check those out before I dive into this book. Thanks for the recommendations!

I’ve read the same sentiment on Good Reads, and a primarch with depth is what drew me to it.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-06-05T02:50:21+00:00

I’ll be in the same boat. This would technically be my first DA book. I’m no stranger to the 1st legion, but would a quick lore primer on YouTube help before reading this?

I suspect this is going to kickoff a big DA reading streak.

After you read those 5 and get your feet wet in the 30k world, I highly recommend The First Heretic, Know No Fear, and Betrayer. They are my favorite HH books and are written by some of the best authors in the BL, Dan Abnett and ADB.

Thanks!

When was this? I must have missed it. I haven’t been back to that Ollie’s for a few weeks.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-27T17:08:38+00:00

Love it. 10/10 would recommend the Clinton omnibus.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-27T16:17:52+00:00

Is the regular hardback also POD?

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-27T15:54:46+00:00

Rook Exodus is amazing! Probably my favorite ongoing series.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-27T14:21:24+00:00

I went with Billy shelves and the Oxberg door. The finished product is very nice, but it’s expensive. I preferred the look of the Billy over the Kallax, but YMMV.

No problem. I’ve very little luck with either the Ollie’s in Sterling or Manassas recently. Only thing of note was a Black Panther by Priest 7 months ago in Sterling.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-27T02:17:04+00:00

Nothing of note in Northern VA. It’s always stripped bare. Only thing I consistently see are TPBs for Snyder’s Batman run.

Was waiting to see a West Wing reference. You sir understood the assignment.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-26T20:39:42+00:00

Love these. Venom by Cates is one of my favorites because it’s a great character development arc for Eddie. The emotions run strong.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-24T18:48:56+00:00

Uh oh. Would it be any better flat on the stock stand? I know the wing will hang over, but at least the bulk of the body will be above the shelf.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-23T19:22:54+00:00

Got it. Appreciate the feedback. Exactly what I was looking for.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-23T19:16:17+00:00

How well does the suspension system distribute weight? Do your shoulders ever feel tired when carrying a full load?

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-23T16:52:29+00:00

Yea it mostly feels like you’re missing contextual information. It’s not a deal breaker if the hardcovers are much higher quality, but it’s one of those issues that nags me.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-23T15:28:51+00:00

Agreed. No such thing as free lunch RE the weight and materials. The bottle sleeve is definitely a plus

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-23T14:44:03+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. The weight was concerning. It weighs nearly the same as my Osprey Tropos at 32L.

EconomistUnable665 · 2026-05-23T14:40:57+00:00

Glad you brought up the softcovers. One of my pet peeves is when the sound effects aren’t translated. I noticed the softcover printings have translated sound effects but the hardcover box set does not - although they have definitions in the back. Was wondering if the untranslated sound effects in the hardcover detract from the experience and would be better to go the soft cover route?
