Space Marine: Master Crafted Edition review

 
    I have a mixed relationship with Warhammer 40K. I'm a huge fan of the setting but also went for about ten years without reading much material of it. I think I just fell out of the fandom due to other things preoccupying me. Still, I have a great affection for the grimdark future and could recommend many series to people hoping to get into it. Also, I've played plenty of the games.

“What IS it about this town? I never thought I’d long for the good old days of Nazi robots and dragons.”
C.T. Phipps, The Rules of Supervillainy

“A spouse was the absolute best thing a supervillain could have. It was the superheroes who struck me as the perpetual bachelors. I mean, come on, the whole ‘it’s not you, it’s my enemies’ thing is so they can stay single and get sex from the people they rescue. I have it on good authority the Silver Lightning uses it all the time to pick up guys. Admittedly, the good authority was my brother’s old gang but if you couldn’t trust them then who could you trust?”
C.T. Phipps

“I suppose he could be the mole,” Shannon said. “What with his being completely insane and all.”
