6/24/2023 0 Comments Frank miller sin city comic![]() Xerxes was supposed to have been released in time for the theatrical debut of 300: Rise of an Empire, but seems to have dropped off the radar for now. Several years ago, Dark Horse announced a follow-up to 300 called Xerxes, which will explore the origins of the self-proclaimed "god-king" and the events of the Battle of Marathon. ![]() The already cinematic comic was faithfully and lavishly adapted by Zack Snyder for the 2006 film, which relished in every display of Spartan machismo and gushing torrent of blood. ![]() Each issue consisted of a series of double-page spreads, which really paid off when the book was collected in hardcover format. Would you expect anything less of Miller? It helped that 300 adopted a novel widescreen format. It was also a terrifically violent and stylish look at Spartan warfare. As much as the series simplified the real events of Thermopylae as recorded by Herodotus, 300 proved to be a rousing tale of a courageous few defending their home against a seemingly insurmountable enemy. Miller offered his own take on the Battle of Thermopylae, the famous clash between King Leonidas and his uber-elite Spartan warriors against a massive Persian invading force. ![]() 9 300 In what is probably the last of his great works, Miller turned his attention to historical Greece (a heavily fictionalized version of it, at least) for 300. ![]() 6/24/2023 0 Comments Read luna and the lie online![]() ![]() While the book's target audience is women and the dating tips offered are geared toward women who date men (Tinx writes in the book that she is "staying in my extremely straight lane and writing what I know"), much of the advice remains helpful regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Meet Tinx, the TikTok influencer who has set out to solve for this predicament in her new book, "The Shift: Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself." She hopes her "box theory" and other dating advice can help "rebrand" dating from "just a means to an end" to "an era of self-discovery." Single people are often left wondering when they should have sex with a new partner for the first time, fearing sleeping together too soon will brand them as a one-night stand but waiting too long could make the other person lose interest. ![]() Watch Video: Four ways to up your dating game from Bumble's relationship expert ![]() ![]() ![]() They represent the considered verdict of the Science Fiction Writers of America, those who have shaped the genre and who know, more intimately than anyone else, what the criteria for excellence in the field should be. ![]() This book contains twenty-six of the greatest science fiction stories ever written.

When Astra awakens during the journey to find their ship off course and under attack, she realizes that she is partly to blame and has to set things right. Cakes in Space (A Not-So-Impossible Tale) Hardcover Illustrated, by Philip Reeve (Author), Sarah McIntyre (Illustrator) 4. Cakes in Space - Kindle edition by Reeve, Philip, McIntyre, Sarah. Astra and her parents (McIntyre's orange-and-black illustrations reveal them to be a mixed-race family) are heading to Nova Mundi to make "the new planet ready for other people from Earth." Given that the journey will take 199 years and requires cryogenic stasis in "freezer beds," there are bound to be some bumps along the way. When 10-year-old Astra asks the Nom-o-Tron food synthesizer on her spaceship for the "ultimate cake" ("I want something so delicious, it's scary!"), she inadvertently sets in motion a wild intergalactic adventure filled with ferocious cakes with razor-sharp teeth, spoon-stealing aliens, and an unlikely but endearing friendship with a Nameless Horror. ![]() 6/23/2023 0 Comments Elle kennedy the play![]() Now I just have to convince my body - and my heart.

In a statement given to The Hollywood Reporter, Mazzara teased how the other books in King's series might be drafted into Amazon's TV adaptation. ![]() (You can bet all the wealth of New Canaan that Thrones' success is behind Amazon's eagerness.) ![]() The prequel is not without its fair share of supernatural terror, as a tormented witch by the name of Rhea of the Cöos makes an appearance, as well as a lethal tear in reality known as a 'thinny'.Īt 700+ pages and one major location, Wizard and Glass is a more contained plot for Mazzara to get his teeth into, so the series will most likely offer a very different tone to the movie – possibly even playing out as a slow-burn fantasy drama. ![]() Here, the deadly sharpshooter falls in love for the first time while also stumbling upon a local criminal scheme. Wizard and Glass chronicles the time when a young Roland is sent away by his father to the Barony of Mejis, accompanied by his 'ka-tet' Cuthbert Allgood and Alain Johns.

Climate change is big-whole-world big. It can be hard for teens and young people to know where to start to make a difference. So, what’s a better way? Learning the facts, building community, and working towards solutions. Avoiding and suppressing might lead to inaction, and ultimately worsen the state of the planet and our mental health in the long run. But for the good of our ecosystems and ourselves, it’s important to confront those feelings and learn to cope. Stress, sadness, anger, and grief are a normal part of encountering serious problems. That means more and more people, especially young people, are at risk of climate anxiety, depression, and other related mental health issues. ![]() It’s nearly impossible to avoid the reality that climate change is shifting the world around us. Bad news about the environment is everywhere-either in headlines, or unfolding in real-time disasters like storms, floods, and fires. ![]() 6/22/2023 0 Comments Ghosts dolly alderton review![]() So often there is a demonisation of exes, and I liked the subtle reinforcement that it is okay to be friends with an ex, and with their new partner (even if Alderton does also write the awkwardness that can come with that). Break ups are something Alderton writes well about, with her recounting how Nina and her ex broke up as well, and I loved it because it was so good to see an amicable break up and exes be really close friends. Although ghosting is a modern-day colloquial term, it’s something that’s been around for a long time. ![]() ![]() As someone who has experienced a couple of friendship break ups it was so nice to see one done really well, how the little frustrations build up over time to erupt. Book Review: Ghosts by Dolly Alderton Written by Julie Dickson Ghosting: Ending all communication with someone without warning and seemingly falling off the face of the earth. It is a theme that is clearly important, with the friendships that Nina has being written so well, from the little things that irk her about her friends, to the friendship break ups that she experiences. ![]() Although I don’t want to compare the two books too much, in Everything I Know About Love Alderton reflects on how most of what she knows about love has come from her female friendships, and I think this also shines through in Ghosts. ![]() |
