![]() ![]() ![]() She’s been there for female readers her entire career, as well. This style made her a perfect match for the Wonder Woman mini-series that she did with Kurt Busiek, which, in my opinion, both evoked and improved on the classic WW Golden Age art in a manner that has never quite been equaled. At a time when many artists saw to draw the world in as ugly a manner as possible, Trina produces work that was classic and sleek and stylish, reminiscent of earlier eras of design. I first fell in love with Trina’s clean, lovely art from reprints of her black-and-white underground comics. She has some eye-opening things to say, and while she and I might disagree on a few matters, my respect for her is immense. I could talk about this tough, smart, talented lady forever. She put the welfare and decent treatment of others above her own career. Like other great trailblazers like Neal Adams, she put her ethics above her own interests. Trina is a big part of the reason why women creators even made the effort in an industry that was at best hostile to them and at worst downright dangerous. I hadn’t realized how much many of the great Wonder creators have really influenced me through the years. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't know why I bought this book, to be honest. I wrote a review for Book 2 of the Expeditionary Force that basically said it was terrible, and that I hoped Book 3 would be better. ![]() I just finished the first book of the Fear the Sky saga which is a kind of similar story line (minus the space travel) but I enjoyed that book much more and recommend it. I really like the story I just wish there was as much action as there is talking/arguing. instead the whole book seemed to come to a disappointing end and a cliff hanger that doesn't really entice me to want to listen further. ![]() it's makes you want to scream get to the point several times I was really hoping the author would reach a point of the elders/Skippy making some headway. still way too much Skippy and Joe arguing about predictable crap that could be reduced quite a bit so the author could add more to the story. I did enjoy how the book jumped to different perspectives of characters and even alien races however, I feel as though it was just filler for very mild plot influences. Because of this I was fairly hesitant to listen to the third but I really wanted to know what happens and unfortunately it is quite similar to the second book. The second was a bit too much arguing between Joe and Skippy and what seemed (in my opinion) to be a lot of added filler that did very little for the story. I absolutely loved the first book and immediately bought the second because of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

At the start of 2023 researchers announced that a Spanish archaeological site known as Cueva Des-Cubierta (a play on "uncover" and "discover") held an unusually large number of big-game skulls. This isn't the gory beginning of an ice age horror novel, but the setting for a fascinating Neanderthal mystery. Tiny fires were lit amidst a boulder-jumbled floor, and the flame-illuminated chamber echoed to dull pounding, cracking and squelching sounds as the skulls of bison, wild cattle, red deer and rhinoceros were smashed open. ![]() Sometime between 135,000-50,000 years ago, hands slick with animal blood carried more than 35 huge horned heads into a small, dark, winding cave. ![]() ![]() ![]() She soon starts to enjoy her bizarre new world and the friends who embrace her as one of their own, but strange things are happening at Akarnae, and Alex can't ignore her fear that something unexpected.something sinister.is looming.Īn unwilling pawn in a deadly game, Alex's shoulders bear the crushing weight of an entire race's survival. ![]() ![]() While waiting for him to reappear, Alex attends Akarnae Academy, Medora's boarding school for teenagers with extraordinary gifts.

The speaker jumps right into his anti-love poem, letting us know that this lady's eyes aren't like the sun.In Shakespeare, though, it was more general, like "my love" or "my darling." ![]() Today, when we use the word "mistress," it's usually to refer to a woman who is dating a married man.Here we are introduced for the first time to the main character in this poem, the speaker's "mistress.".My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun ![]() ![]() ![]() Along the way, the reader encounters a wonderful cast of characters,from the great collector Robert Cotton, who catalogued his manuscripts by the names of the busts of the Roman emperors surmounting his book cases, to the unassuming sixteenth-century London bookseller who ushered in a revolution by listing his authors by 'sirname' first. In A Place for Everything, acclaimed historian Judith Flanders fascinatingly lays out the gradual triumph of alphabetical order, from its use as a sorting tool in the Great Library of Alexandria to its current decline in prominence in the digital age.
