Pride and Prejudice/Valkyrie/Riding a Winged Horse/2 of 3I think just about everyone in this book has a horse.

This has been debated a bit on the BOTM thread, but I see nothing conclusive from Mpauli himself.
If the combined edition isn't available, will reading Raymond E. Feist's Magician Masterand Magician: Apprentice, Volume 1 count for the Energy Cell? I don't see the combined edition available at my library, and I already have those two individual books.

Both teams acquired 2 Energy Cells, so we're only 1-3 weeks away from our first portals opening.

Bane
Active from 01/07/2015 - 31/07/2015
1. Vengeance of Bane
Read a book with "Vengeance" or "Bane" in the title or where a character is on a trip of revenge.
2. Backbreaker
Read a book with a disabled person on the cover (missing limbs, eye-patch, wheelchair, etc.) or where one of the main protagonists has a disability.
3. Wearing a Mask
Read a book with a person wearing a mask on the cover or where a main character wears a mask.
Mod
In this case I'm talking about a parallel universe, so I wouldn't count time-travel. Technically we see time as a dimension, but that wasn't the intention of the challenge. :)

Sorry for not responding earlier, I mostly check on threads on GR on the weekends.
Of course it counts, when you read the split-up version of the book. It's the story that counts, not the format it was delivered in.
So, to be perfectly clear: If you've read both books, this will qualify for 1 Energy Cell and not one Energy Cell each.
Team DCAquaman/ The Life and Death of St Kilda / 3. Talks with Fishes
Read a book with a fish/sea creature on the cover or where the sea/ocean (no rivers) is a setting (ship journeys count).
2/3
Team DCBullseye/ To Kill a Mockingbird / 2. Thunderbolts
Read a book with the words "thunder" and or "bolt" in the title or where a villain turns into a hero./ Boo Radley begins as a villain but the contrary is shown to be true.
1/3
Mod
Read a book with a cat on the cover or where a cat is a character itself or the pet of the main protagonist. The Grand Finale 2/3 Catwoman

I believe that's 50 energy cells! Team Marvel would like Bigby Wolf for our portal hero.

Read a book with "Vengeance" or "Bane" in the title or where a character is on a trip of revenge. Stone Cold One of the main characters spends much of the book hunting down and killing men he holds responsible for his father's death. 1/3 for Bane
Mod
For Team Marvel Soila recruited Human Torch and Sam recruited Invisible Woman. Congratz to Shawnie as well who completed her roster with recruiting Daredevil.
Team DC acquired 2 Energy Cells, while Team Marvel got 3 and managed to open the first portal. It led to the Fables universe and Bigby Wolf can now be recruited by Marvel players.
As Beast now has a better understanding of the process of opening portals, the second portal will only require 30 Energy Cells. Of course this will also be the case, when Team DC manages to open the portal.
I think with going for 30 for the second and then maybe 20 or 15 for the final portal we'll have a chance to open at least two portals for each team, maybe even 3.
Mod
The portal heroes work like normal heroes for your roster. You have the rest of the year to recruit them, so there is no hurry.
The only restriction would be that the books have to be finished after July 1st (I'm fine with them being started in June already), cause it wouldn't be that exciting, if you could just take 3 books that you already read in the first 6 months and haven't used yet.
It's specifically designed to give something to do for players like you, who have already completed a roster and like to do something more besides the villain and the BotM for the rest of the year. :)
Mod
Bigby Wolf
1. Big Bad Wolf
Read a book with a wolf on the cover or where the characters encounter wolves/werewolves.
2. Fabletown
Read a book with a fairy on the cover or which is a fairy tale/fairy tale retelling.
3. Chain Smoker
Read a book with a cigarette/cigar/pipe on cover or where the main protagonist is a smoker.
Hana C./Team DC
Cry Wolf/Martian Manhunter/3. Shapeshifter/ 3 of 3.
Nearly all of the characters in this book are werewolves.
Martian Manhunter Recruited!!
