Fellas, is it gay to have a pathological need to beat a Very Specific German in baccarat?

FEILX LEITER IS TEXAN?! How in the SAM HELL did I forget THAT?!

I’m trying to parse this out a little because I feel like if I REALLY sat with it, I’d have it finished in no time. It’s damn fascinating.

Welcome to this month’s hyperfixation.

Well that’s uhhhhhhh pretty fucking strong opening there, y’all.

I really appreciate that JRL is willing to fuck with his own format to this sort of degree.

Two of these I’ve already read thanks to the first collection, but the way they’ve been reframed and expanded for this new collection is kinda brilliant. And it’s really just an extra two pages apiece. I freaking love it.

Shocking absolutely nobody, I love the book that’s just mini-Hap and Leonard set ups.

“If I die, please don’t make any puns about it.”

New X-FACTOR continues to be my absolute favorite.

JRL slowly revealing that both Hap and Leonard are huge dorks is really a treat for me. More action heroes need to be quoting John Carter of Mars.

This is another very Reachery set up.

Happy Turkey Day. I’m celebrating with a Dr. Pepper and starting the TIT-U-LAR novel! Sometimes things rule.

I’ll miss Krakoa forever, but the new X books have been kinda ripping. Exceptional X-Men, Uncanny, and Sentinels especially. Get on them, Fellow Mutants!

Hap and Leonard think it’s bullshit the Flash ties with Superman in a footrace. They are truly my people.

This is…REALLY funny so far.

Hap is a Doc Savage fan. I knew I loved him for a reason.

This one is very Reacher (complimentary).

Skipping ahead to 2016, Hap, Leonard, and Brett are legit now! They even have a dog!

Ya know, y’all, I think this might end up pulling it off.

Massively funny to me that Shooter’s Marvel went to Hama and were like, “Toy comics, Larry! Whatta got?!” And he replied with “Semi-serialized action fables about homegrown terrorism, the tolls it takes in the fanatic’s family, disarmament, and the positive highlighting of characters of color/indigenous cultures” and JSwent, “…I guess?” And then they saw sales reports and never said anything again.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m going to miss my shitty wizards.

I’ve been a bit slow to start this proper, but don’t let that mark against its quality. The hook this time around is such a Hap & Leonard problem.

Book IV (I think I might finish this tonight!)
