The City & the City Are there any complaints if I use this for Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum? Read a book with a house on the cover. This is housing, especially on the upper city, not a single house. :) I started too early to use it for Grodd!

Tom | 216 comments Could we have a separate thread for when a new villain is introduced just for ease of use.

Yeah it's an image heavy thread so any kind of app seems to hate it :(

Oh, that's a good point. I never think of things like these, cause I always use the PC version, where you have seperate pages.
I'll set up a villain thread for easier reference. And if I remember it, I try to put in the villain with his challenges into this thread together with the announcement. :)

Another week that saw Team DC shrinking the gap between them and Team Marvel. Kang received a lot of beat-downs by Wayland, Hana C. Wayland also recruited Green Lantern. Nara took away the achievement for being the first player to recruit Aquaman, while Kevin had the honor of getting it for the first recruitment of Robin. That leaves Green Arrow to be the only hero that hasn't been revruited yet.
For Team Marvel Christina, Rinn and Shawnie defeated Kang, while Lel recruited Human Torch.
Both teams managed to acquire 2 Energy Cells.

Unfortunately the two books to defeat Kang were entered at May 3rd and the challenge to defeat him only ran to April 30th. I checked your read-list, cause this is the way for me to see, when you finished them and they were also entered on May 3rd. This is my only "objective" way to judge if a book read on time, cause I can't know if you finished the book in time, but maybe just entered it late on Goodreads. If that was the case, I'm very sorry, but I can't count them.
So please make sure in the future to enter the books in time here on GR.

This week saw Team marvel as the winner and they were able to increase their lead.
It was really a team effort by the Marvellites with Rinn recruiting Invisible Woman, Lel taking the achievement for defeating Gorilla Grodd, Christina recruiting Groot and Shawnie recruiting Spiderman.
For Team DC Roger recruited Womder Woman and Wayland defeated Gorilla Grodd.
Team Marvel also acquiered 1 Energy Cell.

You can of course re-enter the books for hero challenges or this month's villain, if they happen to fit. :)
