Thanks. I know 2 folks over at DC beat me, but I think I'm the first Marvel to finish 'em all.

Marvel

Energy Cell

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

I got tired of waiting for the library, so I broke down and bought it. Glad I did, this was really good. And, last check, I'm still at number 16 on the library wait list. I find no movement at all for a month kinda odd.

Sounds like they have one copy and somebody lost it (or "lost" it). You still managed to beat me; I'm only half-way through.

They actually allegedly have 5, which makes it even more puzzling. I'm going to keep my hold on it just to see what happens.

Very much so. Especially as I keep getting the stupid person at the Lack Of Help Desk who can't grasp what I'm trying to explain.

This week was a triumphant win for Team Marvel. For them Audrey recruited Thor and Star-Lord, while Karen defeated Brainiac and added Iron Fist to her roster. Black Panther was recruited by Elwen and Wayland who finished his whole roster. The same goes for Shawnie with her recruitment of Nova.
For Team DC Greg recruited Supergirl and Dawn added Katana to her team.
The Energy Cell race went 3:2 to Team DC.
