The narrator of the book i'm listening to keeps pronouncing "feral" as FEEruhl and it's irritating because it's been in the book like 45 times.

Novels are just comics consisting of one picture and an overwritten caption.

Oh, btw, i'm that dork who bought three copies of this: the audio book, the digital book (so i can look up things i want to read again or in case i don't understand something in the audio, or to paste cool bits to the BFF), and the physical book to put in the Betsy shrin- er, on the Betsy shelf. <.<

There could easily be a Kate meets Kitty moment really early. That will be fun.

AHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, everyone do this always, please. To all of them.

I never read wapo as a physical paper so i don't know if this kind of content is in it, but it's not my imagination that they only started posting this kind of non-news, non-politics stuff on social media AFTER the disaster was president again, right?

I know it's a What If...? novel, but the timeline is screwy on the first couple of pages. It's Krakoa era, but in 1990?

It's all about time travel back to when Kitty joined the X-Men (not a spoiler, it's in the description). Maybe everyone being alive in 1975 and like 2022 was too big a stretch.

It's out.

UK #NewWave band #King’s 1985 debut single “Love & Pride” stalled at #84 but after a TV appearance 9 months later, it was re-released & held at #2 for 3 weeks staying in the UK Top40 for 10- it found little success in the USA, but was a Starck fave

I'm used to watching things where they DON'T explain, and it's fine. You watch for the experience, the ride. But i'm so used to it, when people ask what's going on i just say "They'll explain it eventually... or they won't."

No Betsy/Captain Britain in current comics, but they're doing this.

Why not a retro PRE-ninja Psylocke comic?

Well, at least there's that What If...? novel with CB Betsy on the cover coming out tomorrow.

See? It's Beast Boy.

shape to another, he looked like the Hulk’s scrawny kid brother. Couldn’t weigh more than one hundred and fifty pounds, tops, standing only a couple of inches taller than Logan himself Where all the extra mass was coming from for each of the transformations, Logan couldn’t say, but it didn’t seem to matter much. All that mattered was that the kid was proving to be more difficult an opponent than Logan would have guessed.

big scalloped ears like batwings. With a bellowing roar of rage, the green ape-thing lunged at Logan, but the X-Man danced easily out of the way Thing is, it isn’t the animal that counts, most of the time. It’s the man. Evidently deciding it was time to try a different strategy, the Exemplar retreated, and transformed, first into a skinny, green-skinned kid, and then into some sort of green-furred bear. Its snout open wide, revealing double rows of vicious teeth. It was even taller than the ape-creature had been, taller than Logan and Peter Rasputin put together. And on the end of its powerful

It's bizarre how Beast Boy is in this X-Men novel. A small green-skinned teenage boy that transforms into any animal, even combinations of animals. He's an alien, and a bad guy, so i guess he's Legally Distinct Beast Boy? But it's wild (npi) that they could put that in this and get away with it.

Wow, the first time Betsy used Cerebro... and she saw Brian as #CaptainBritain, with Meggan, fighting aliens in England.

I love this.

Ahh, the rest of the #NewMutants! Why did i never read this until now?

WHOLE TIME!

I only wanted to finally finish the book now, because a new novel with Betsy as a main character comes out Tuesday.

Stunned.

The book has already directly mentioned the events in NM Annual 2 re: Doug and Betsy, so i'm SO hoping this builds on it!

Oh my god, so thrilled, ydek.

Me just finding out a 20 year old X-Men novel i've owned for years but never read has a major plot point of a Betsy/Doug Ramsey teamup soon after New Mutants Annual #2 (Betsy's first US appearance). I've wished for a reunion with them that never happened in comics, but it has been in this novel THE

Plus i knew that fucking dog was going to annoy me and it was even worse than i expected.

And really, they hired an actor to play the actor who played Lois Lane in the old movie? She's like.. doing a great imitation of her. :|

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 2d

Fuck this Superman movie. There's nothing fun or funny about an infant being in mortal danger and crying and screaming in terror for over five minutes.

I'm done with DC movies. They've always been terrible, but this is a last straw.
