DC versus Marvel Reading Challenge 2016
For some reason, I didn't consider SWORDS as an option!
Mod
Just Another Judgement Day/Deadshot/Gun for Hire/ 1/3
Dead Until Dark/Deadshot/Deadshot/2 of 3
Men at Arms/Dead shot/Suicide Squad/3 of 3
Deadshot defeated.
Cinder/energy cell
Team MarvelThe Lies of Locke Lamora/Deadshot/Suicide Squad/3 of 3
anti-hero as POV character
Deadshot defeated!
Team Marvel.Jessica Jones/Jewel/The Shadow Over Innsmouth/3of3.
jewels are are one of the things that bring suspicion to Innsmouth.
Jessica Jones recruited!!!
Mod
Sabriel/energy cell
I read this last month for a character challenge before it became book of the month. Can it still count for an energy cell? I did just re-read it incase

If you re-read it just in case, I don't see why not!

When you re-read it, it is totally fine.
Mod
For Team Marvel Shawnie and Kate gave a beating to Deadshot while Brendan recruited Jessica Jones.
The Energy Cell race went 2:0 to Team DC, which means they are only one cell away from recruiting their third portal hero and are only 6 cells away from Team Marvel. Are they able to sneak that last portal hero away from them?
Mod
Deadshot 1. Gun for Hire Duty and Honor
Read a book with a gun on the cover or with a mercenary as a pov character. Cover is a silver AK-47 on a black background.
2/3 for Deadshot
DCBetween Shades of Gray/Nimoa/1 of 3/Society of Evil
It's a historical group rather than a fantasy one, but if the NKVD doesn't qualify as an evil society or organization in Lithuania at that time, I don't know what does.
I think we have a consensus - DC chooses Alana for our next portal hero.
MarvelStar Lord/Peter Quill aka.,/A Flag Full of Stars/1of3
Read a book with "star" or "lord" in the title.
Mod
Deadshot
3. Suicide Squad Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan
Read a book with a group of armed characters (3+ characters) on the cover or where a pov character turns from a villain into a hero (I'm also fine with an anti-hero as a pov character).
Everyone on the cover is armed.
3/3 for Deadshot
Deadshot defeated!
Mod
For Team DC Lel was the MVP by recruiting Alfred Pennyworth.
The Energy Cell race ended 2:0 for Team DC and they chose Alana to become their third portal hero.
And as September comes to an end we're entering the Halloween month and who could be better suited to be our villain of the month than Jack O'Lantern, a classic foe of Spiderman. Enjoy his challenges!
Jack O'Lantern
Active from 01/10/2016 - 31/10/2016
1. Jack O'Lantern
Read a book with a lantern (no modern streetlights) on the cover or where a character is named Jack (doesn't have to be a pov).
2. Pumpkinhead
Read a book with a predominantly orange title or which belongs to the horror genre.
3. Hovercraft Disc
Read a book with a hovercraft on the cover or where the characters ride in a hovercraft.
Mod
Drat! I just finished a book where the MC is named Jack. Oh well, I was going to read the next book in the series anyway. Will just do it sooner rather than later.
Mpauli, is this book ok for the hovercraft?
Mod
Mod
Me too! But the next book doesn't come out for at least a year.

Mod
1. Rats
Read a book with rats on the cover or where sentient rodents are characters.
The Wind in the Willows Several sentient rodents.
1/3 for Rat Queens
Is it safe to assume that an actual Jack O'Lantern counts as a lantern on the cover?
Kate wrote: "Is it safe to assume that an actual Jack O'Lantern counts as a lantern on the cover?"Good question Kate! I hadn't thought of that possibility.
Iron Fist RecruitedMarvel/Nine Months to Redeem Him/Iron Fist/Danny Rand/3 of 3
Main male character is rich
DCSelected Poems of Gabriela Mistral/Alana/Hazel's Mother/1 of 3
Poem sequence written from the perspective of a mother with an infant child.
