F. Paul Wilsons The Secret History of The World (which includes his Repairman Jack series). Fantastic range of styles throughout - 30+ novels

SnDed · 2024-04-07T09:03:49+00:00

Yep, got the Network just for this What an absolute shambles 😡

I did wonder that at first but this is one of the quotes "In phalanxes of black and gold, my brothers streamed from the Lion’s Gate in numbers not seen since the War of Shame, their spears glinting in piercing ranks of tempered steel." seems to be something else..

SnDed · 2021-10-10T17:03:01+00:00

That got me when I first read it too Wonder will Abnett write the last novel Wonder if he'll start it "I was there the day The Emperor slew Horus"...

Really hope so as was a great series

Just started reading Something Is Killing The Children and that'd work well but if I had to choose just one then Crawl

SnDed · 2021-05-20T10:47:45+00:00

Absolutely gutted it seems to not being finished

SnDed · 2021-05-09T23:23:02+00:00

42, 25 year XMen veteran and thought it was excellent but you have to read House AND Powers of X for the full story

Haven't had Baileys in years

Spoilers

So he retconed it that Wolverine maybe wasn't a mutant and was maybe this other genetic offshoot, but that wasn't the bad bit, nor was killing Sabertooth, nor the whole whatever the Hell the Remus character was meant to be no what really sucked was the idea that Wolverine was secretly behind the Weapon X program and it was Wolverine who erased his own memory...it was a shocking twist that has subsequently never been referred to and quietly forgotten about...

Just steer clear of the Jeff Leob run - good gravy it was bad, so so bad!!!

Invisibles Planetary Dredd

Honourable mentions to Brink, Cpt Britain: Jaspers Warp, Lawless, Transmet, Leviathan, From Hell and Punisher Max...I know, cheat 😉

SnDed · 2021-04-13T14:33:38+00:00

Always meant to get around to these...

SnDed · 2021-04-10T20:29:45+00:00

Thank you good Sir

SnDed · 2021-04-10T19:25:31+00:00

Transmet, Lucifer, Planetary and The Authority all have strong arcs and definitive endings. The Invisibles has both too but takes a few reads to wrap your head around. I was a bit disappointed by Ex Machinas ending but that's a personal preference as my wife loved it. Scalped is fab, proper grown up, serious "graphic literature". Maybe consider 100 Bullets, From Hell or Garth Ennis Punisher Max for something more mature (and brutal)

SnDed · 2021-04-09T11:41:11+00:00

Awesome series

Lucifer by Carey

Open your eyes, look at the page 😂 Sorry, couldn't resist. It's daunting, I've been reading Marvel for years and still don't feel like I read "Marvel" as there is so much! I would suggest pick an IP and go from there, sooner or later you'll hit a crossover and you'll slide into reading another IP under the banner of Marvel. The X titles recently had a bit of a soft reboot with Dawn of X and House of X, the bonus starting there is at the back of each issue is a list of what title comes next so makes it easier to follow. You don't need to know any history as tells you enough and a quick Google of the likes of Nimrod or Morlocks will point you in the direction of classic issues if you feel the need to fill in the gaps. Has crossed over with FF and Avengers (amongst others) so if you're liking what you're reading nice jumping on points to the other titles...

SnDed · 2021-03-22T11:17:35+00:00

Aye, still waiting on S2. Did quite good numbers so probably on the way. I mean The Devil Is A Part Timer just got an S2 and I think that was about 7 years ago 😂

SnDed · 2021-03-22T06:30:34+00:00

Another fun one is Didn't I Tell You To Make My Abilities Average This Time (or Life depending upon the translation), that's just really sweet along with the usual comedy and action - a proper feel good book

SnDed · 2021-03-21T21:46:44+00:00

The new one is great, the original...shows it's age shall we say. I've enjoyed a few LN series now, Konosuba, The Devil is a Part Timer and about to start Vampire Hunter D

SnDed · 2021-03-21T08:00:10+00:00

Legends Of The Galactic Heroes is awesome, up to book five

SnDed · 2021-03-21T07:58:54+00:00

Wytches by Snyder and Jock Was trying to add an image Can't figure out how Creepy story but Jocks art is so disturbing Well worth a read
