COD and AC have comics??"

Yep dark horse has put out both cod and cod zombies series. I think titan publishes AC.

I have a LOT of game lore. I need to sort out the comics from the non-comics.
Any more sugge..."

Call of Duty

Thanks for the reminder. Just got back from the LCS with my copy ( and a half-dozen other books.)

Lenny wrote: "...I'm also loving rereading Atomic Robo in the new collected edition that's been sitting on my shelf; thank you Chad for inspiring that!"

Yay for the Atomic Robo love! It's so much damn fun.

Nancy wrote: "Mike- one more thing...is your Saga of Saga series podcast available to the public or only to paying members?."

I'm pretty sure Mike said on the podcast it was for patreon subscribers.

Forthencho Pacino wrote: "Is someone else also waiting for the next Berzerk update as eagerly as I am?"

I tried Berzerk but it wasn't really my thing.

- ★★★★ - A well done dystopian comic about a world that is plagued by Waves that cause people to go crazy and do self-harm while they are in effect.

★★★ - A fantasy book with some potential. Audrey Mok's art is fantastic.

- ★★ - A rare 2 stars for a series I've absolutely loved up to this point.

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

My guess is that GR removes it tomorrow when their regular staff comes in.

Ed wrote: "I suspect that those links were designed to somehow get a commission on what you purchase on Amazon. GR takes them down pretty quickly, so I doubt it will be very successful."

I just got another one on the same review from a different account after GR removed the last one.

Ed wrote: "I just read The Twilight Man: Rod Serling and the Birth of Television. Very good and recommended if you like the Twilight Zone.

I fear I may be in that Zone myself. Twice in the la..."

I had some of those too this week on some of my reviews but with a different username. It's just a new type of spammer. I reported them but GR's doesn't go to any great lengths to block them from creating additional accounts.

So anyone think Diggle will show up on the new Superman and Lois TV show now that he has moved to Metropolis? Maybe running a branch of the DEO there?

Erin wrote: "Nice! I heard there's a big Bloodshot Humble Bundle out right now too"

That's a great deal for $15. If I didn't have all those already I'd buy it in an instant.

Erin wrote: "That looks interesting! I've never really read any Valiant, but hearing how much hype it gets on the show makes me curious. I took a peek at your profile, I'm in HR too! (though not French) :)"

Valiant is one of my favorite publishers. Their first few years of comics are especially good. It's all available on Hoopla if you want to check them out. Duane Sweirzynski's Bloodshot run would be a good place to start with the movie coming out next month. I'll warn you though, it's real easy to get hooked on their comics.

Congrats Erin!

Sara wrote: "I'm loving it Chad!"

I'm not surprised in the least. There's a bunch of spin off series that are good as well, plus a novel as you get further in.

Sara wrote: "I'm reading The Witcher: Fox Children (Volume 2). I just finished Fables: Animal Farm and adored it!"

Fables is an all time favorite.

I went on another binge over the holiday weekend.

John Layman just released a new book 2 weeks ago. I liked the first issue. The Man Who Effed Up Time #1
