Fitz and the Fool - I've finished the trilogy!

                                       

I've now finished the final book in this trilogy.

This was awesome.

A really satisfying conclusion to 15 books (I think!) I was so pleasantly surprised that the Liveship Traders and The Dragon Keepers were incorporated into the conclusion of the Fitz and the Fool story.

2019 Update - Star Wars

So then. "The Rise of Skywalker".

Well that title is misleading.

This film was enjoyable but wasn't the fun filled conclusion I was really hoping for. I think it tried too hard.

Interestingly, "The Mandalorian" is much more fun because it's a simple story that doesn't tie itself in knots. 

2019 Update - Lots of Big Books

It's way past time for an update on my recent purchases as I've neglected posting about these items when they arrived. But I blame Brexit and Christmas.

When I say big books I mean BIG BOOKS. That "Ditko is Amazing" is HUGE!

The book is purely an indulgence on my part as I've all the stories in the Amazing Spider-man Omnibus #1 anyway but I just couldn't resist this.

The other Marvel books are two Fantastic Four Omnibus editions. Confusingly, each is a Number One! Of course they contain different stories.

I wanted the "Fantastic Four Omnibus" because its a decent reprint of FF issues 1-30. I'm now all ready for my long delayed re-reading of Marvel history from its early days.

"Fantastic Four by John Byrne Vol 1" reprints some of my favourite stories and after looking through the originals in early December, I just got the urge to splash out on this and have the comics with much improved reproduction.

The other books are both by Alan Moore.

"Absolute Swamp Thing Vol 1" has been on my wants list for ages and I'm so pleased DC have finally got round to publishing this. My previous reprints of these comics were from very old DC trades and left a great deal to be desired. So chuffed to get this and I will read this very soon together with my Swamp Thing Omnibus!

"The Tempest" is a large HC with the last League of Extraordinary Gentlemen story. This series has been a bit hit and miss but I got this for completeness. Hope it's good!
