Chad’s comments from the Edelweiss & Netgalley Reviewers group.

American Jesus by Mark Millar and Peter Gross explores Jesus's return as a young boy in America. I found it flat and uninspiring.

Fear Agent was a great comic. I didn't realize it had been optioned. Have you ever read any of Remender's other series like Black Science, Low, or Seven to Eternity? He's written plenty of others but I think those are my favorites.

If you think that's a lot just wait until next month when I go and spend a week on the beach in Mexico reading and sipping frozen drinks for a week.

I went on another binge over the holiday weekend.

I didn't see anything obviously wrong with it. Amazon does require you spend at least $50 on Amazon every year in order to leave reviews. Maybe that's your issue.

Thomas did you post the same review on GR? If so, can you provide a link to it so we can take a look?

NetGalley posts tags you can copy into your profile to make the badges show up. I think though that Goodreads still has updates to your profile disabled. It's been disabled for going on a year because GR can't figure out how to stop spammers from posting links to malware and porn on them.
