Aconyte Books and Marvel Comics’ “School of X” line has a new novel coming out. The Phoenix Chase hails from Neil Kleid.

“Kid Omega’s latest scheme to set up his own mutant school goes horribly awry when mysterious aliens called the Remaining kidnap his “students,” demanding a rare Phoenix Egg—source of the awesome Phoenix Force—in exchange for their lives. Wildly out of his depth, Kid Omega turns to Cyclops for help. He gets a ride with space pirates the Starjammers, and someone more responsible: Cyclops’ brother Alex “Havok” Summers. Their mission: rescue the students, recover the Egg, save the day. But it won’t be easy. Galaxy-hopping sleuthing, heists, and action lead the X-Men to clues that reveal a monstrous plot using the Phoenix Egg to ultimately conquer the universe.” (Marvel Comics)

Three Oaths

A new Daidoji Shin mystery being announced winds up being one of those things that makes me want to put down whatever other hobby I’m indulging in at the time to read it immediately. This is, of course, no exception to that. I’ve been wanting to talk about this for ages now. This one’s thanks to the nice folks at Aconyte Books. Here’s Josh Reynolds’ latest journey into Rokugan, Three Oaths!…

The Tyrant Skies by David Annandale, last instalment of the Marvel Untold Doom trilogy coming on 25th March (or 17th in the US).

Now, these books are really good and I'm really hyped to see Doom pitched up against the Red Skull again... but, the cover is just so disappointing 😢

We have two awesome villains with extremely cool designs who really don't like each other. We have a gipsy who has been victim of ferocious suppressions vs the epithome of Nazism! Of all the cool things and symbols you could have put on there, why the two of them just looking at each other?!

That's not even a threatening look, they're just staring at each other. Why not a big swastika above Doom castle? Now that would have been menacing!

It was the publisher, right? That looks like a work you do just because they asked you to do it that way but you really don't want to, 'cause you know it's ugly! 😅

The Market of 100 Fortunes

Trying to get this written has been a bit difficult, so I am sorry that it’s late going live. I have a lot to say about what I enjoyed and what felt a little over done but a lot of that is in the last third of the book and I don’t want to spoil it. So I kept finding myself trying to write around the things I wanted to talk about. This one is thanks to the cool folks at Aconyte. Here’s Marie…

ISBN: 978-1-83908-178-1 (Ebook ISBN: 978-1-83908-179-8)

"They work just fine. When I don’t think about it. When I just react, they work. If I think about it too much… my own thoughts get in the way." (Talking about her powers)

En "Marvel School of X 2: Sound of Light", Polaris desempeña un papel importante en el desarrollo de los acontecimientos.

Lorna Dane is introduced amidst the backdrop of missing mutants, including her father, Magneto. She is portrayed as determined and strong, with her powers being compared to those of her father.

Lorna, alongside Dazzler and other mutants, is deeply involved in investigating the disappearance of several mutants and the mysterious distribution of Mutant Growth Hormone (MGH). They track down leads, analyze security footage, and follow up on suspicious characters like Lieutenant Hask, as well as organizations like S.W.O.R.D. and A.R.M.O.R.

Throughout the book, Polaris faces numerous confrontations. She demonstrates her powers in various battles, using them to disarm enemies and protect her team. Her control over her abilities is tested, and she struggles with the pressure of living up to her father's legacy.

Lorna also grapples with her identity and the expectations placed upon her as Magneto's daughter. She has a complex relationship with her father, driven by a desire to prove herself and protect those she cares about.
