MODERATORS
Recently finished Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle. I felt called out by the main character, especially what tips her decision in the climax. I felt like there was something missing in the book, but I did really enjoy its message and found it solidly enjoyable. It was never boring, although I would have preferred more outlandish deaths.
Recently started the final Marvel What If? book series (the DOOM one). It's been okay. It's been a minute, but compared to the previous book (at least in my memory), this version of Kitty Pryde feels like it's pulling from Evolution instead of the comics. I'm also incredibly dissatisfied with a certain happening fairly early into the book, and hoping that won't be the permanent state of affairs, but as is usual when it comes to these superhero things, it probably will be.
Also, just from a writing perspective. I feel like writing Doom has to be a blast for the author. I know I'd be having fun with it.
