Ok yeah I'm hooked

Honestly? Good

I'm not even 70 pages in and there have already been like 6 completely absurd stories and anecdotes, this is nuts

Oh no

Oh this one is sharp

Gotta say, lot of what I'm seeing here with Orion is very reminiscent of my years in school prior to my ADHD diagnosis. Is that intentional? Impossible to say but probably not. Be interesting if it were.

Kind of dense beginning but I'm all on board now

"Stella Martis?" You kidding me?

I like this line

"THE WORLD WILL TEACH THEM ABOUT MONSTERS SOON ENOUGH. LET THEM REMEMBER THERE'S ALWAYS THE POKER."

"OTHERWISE, WHAT IS 4:30 A.M. FOR?"

Ahhhh, the fucked up deer

Ahahahahaa, oh wow! Oh holy crap, WOW

HA

Hah

The most generic looking Duke Leto possible

Bad sign for a comic adaptation of a novel to be so wordy. Not going far enough away from the novel, still trying to keep close to the text.

One of the few problems I have with this story that remains on every single reread is that it has just the most stultifyingly uninteresting take on religion possible

Unfair thought, but I keep having it - "Stephen King would do this so much better"

Oh, Granny

Love that on top of half-life, Psis and Anti-psis, space travel, and financially predatory front doors Dick saw fit to throw in some weird fucking fashion choices too.

Oh good, a reminder that this conflict is substantially owed to the simplest and least satisfying sort of misunderstanding-because-they-have-to-and-won't-talk-about-it.

If you wanted to use the Egyptian mythological underworld, why not just use it? Why use it, change nothing, and then say "oh no it's not the Egyptian underworld, but it's similar" when it's identical?
Just use the thing you want to use

Wow revelation

Hero's a villain

Yeah, I've read SANDMAN too

Not a great sign if I'm less than a hundred pages into a book about a conflict between Heaven and Hell and have already thought "this cosmology is dumb" multiple times

Oh wow

"Ka, like a wind"
