I need to make more rude comments about Hoopla here more often, because every time I complain they don't have something it appears a week or two later. Anyways, Kieron Gillen did an amazing job with Immortal X-Men. I would not mind owning all 13 issues and the extra "Sinister Date" thing at some point. Just a well written series that does deep dives on some really complicated characters.

Mom's been watching "The Days", and I keep trying to find a copy of Shin for her to watch for that exact reason.

Last movie I saw in the theaters was Rogue One. Haven't been back mostly because of caretaker issues with my Mom.

Used my last November borrow to read X-Men vol 4, and it suffers a bit from half the story being in other books. Also, I'm still waiting for Hoopla to get volume 3 of Immortal X-Men, since I think that has the Sins of Sinister fallout I'm still missing. But they do have the X-Men Red volume 3, which seems to deal with the repercussions of Magneto's death, so I'll borrow that on Monday.

Has this been mentioned/promoted anywhere before now?

OK, in the last couple weeks I have read some comic book stuff: 1) Star Wars: The Last Republic vol 1 - I've read one novel and now some of the comics, and I still can't get into it. I'm not sure why. 2) X-Men (Gerry Duggan) Vol 3 - As a child of the 80's, I am here for all the Iceman and Firestar stuff. A very good volume. 3) Assassin's Creed: Dynasty vol 1 - Picked this up on a lark and really enjoyed it. I'll definitely read the other 4 volumes. 4) At the Mountains of Madness as interpreted by Gou Tanabe - First time ever reading anything Lovecraft. I'm highly annoyed by the Kindle/online version of this, tho... I don't know if it was turned into an epub by a cheap scanner or using cheap OCR software, but the art is often smudgey looking, to the point where I cannot tell what I'm looking at. I will probably not bother with the other volume of this.

Bethesda is begging negative reviewers to try the game again in the worst way possible. It reads like internet forum "debaters" desperately trying to convince someone why their opinion on a game is actually wrong. Except a company is doing it. This is embarrassing.

Panthers coach desperately trying to gas himself up. “These games are winnable. That message doesn’t fly when you’re 1-10, but I know these games are winnable. I know we have the players and the coaches to do that.”

Eagerly awaiting all the think pieces about how this spells the doom for --- [SIGNAL LOST]

From this article, had to LOL As Schreier noted, whether that means the game will ever come out is a very different question - but, at least by this latest report, at least two people are still working on it. For the time being, that is.

Annual Carolina/Clemson rivalry game this weekend, about to be overshadowed due to presidential candidates showing up.

It's Steam sale season! Go pick up stuff when it's 75% off!

Finished this up a couple days ago, and I'm torn between "It's not bad, per se, but it could've been better" and "It didn't tell the story I wanted to read, which is on me". Third volume is better art-wise than the second one. I might have liked this better if it had been a single collection instead of three slim volumes. I also might have liked it better if it had ended a couple pages earlier.

Huh, I'll have to go back, I thought the end of XMen: Inferno it was implied she had her powers back, in that if she died that was the last reset. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

All they have to do to reset reality is kill off Moira, so... yeah. It'll rewind one last time.
