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.

They're ba-ack

Volume two is not quite as good - the story is stretched out a bit too much, the art gets a bit too stylized. I also think he's not telling the story I'm interested in, but I'll see what we learn in the third volume.

Stop me if you've heard this one before... Grim Dawn, the ARPG that keeps on giving, is putting out another massive free update next week. This is probably the last big fix before the new expansion next year, just from perusing the patch notes.

I'll always suggest a FFX replay. I'm guessing this it the remastered version? Stick with the original sphere grid for starters, the newer one is even worse somehow IMO.

Former Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Matt Ulrich has died at 41, according to team owner Jim Irsay.

X Japan bassist Heath (aka Hiroshi Morie) died in late October of cancer that he didn't tell his band mates about. He was 55.

Between COVID and the strikes, their timing has gotten shot all to hell.

Most of the people reporting on the negotiations are in the studios pockets, so....

I still randomly think about that one every so often. Alfred trying to keep Bruce Banner calm. Bats dressing up as an old man to give Hulk advice. Joker suddenly realizing he is in WAAAAY over his head. Great, ridiculous stuff that is so much that era and yet so timeless.

Was just coming to post this, saw the trailer in my Instagram feed of all places. HOLY SHIT indeed. I've read the book a few times, this looks so good.

Dudes talking out his ass, he's anti strike and desperate for clicks.

Read the first collection of "We Only Find Them When They're Dead", by Al Ewing, and I found it quite interesting. A lot of the reviews were complaining about how slow it went, and they didn't understand what was going on until the info dump in issue 5, but I personally found it real easy to figure out what had happened, for the most part. The art is very stylized, which works here. Will definitely read the rest of the series.

And here we are in the days of the Last False Summer, before the temps fall off a cliff into the realms of True Autumn
