What I am reading
At the moment, I am in that glorious space of pure possibility in which I have not yet started a new book. Which is to say, nothing. This is partly because I have been writing again! XMFC WIPs, to be precise. It's very exciting.
What I've just read
I finished Celestial Matters on the AirBART home from OAK on Monday. I wound up enjoying it a lot, though I have several critiques which will go in the review. I also sat down Monday night and read Avatar: The Search Part Two, the next part of Gene Yang's Avatar comics. It was great, but it was very much a middle volume, and I want the final one, which is due in November, immediately.
I also read the first volume of X-Treme X-Men, the sadly cancelled recent comics series in which Dazzler, young!Kurt Waggoner, and James Howlett, former Governor-General of Canada, team up with Charles Xavier's severed head in a jar to pursue ten evil Charles Xaviers across the multiverse. Everyone but Dazzler is not from Earth-616, and it's a lot of fun and it doesn't require a lot of background comics knowledge. If you liked the series and you haven't read
pocky_slash's two X-Treme X-Men fics, in battle, side-by-side, and Five Minutes, which is a remix of Unbind Me by
heyjupiter, you totally should.
What I'll read next
I have most of X-Treme X-Men in single issues, so I will probably read those in preparation for the final paperback coming out eventually. (The second one is out next week. I can't decide whether I'm going to buy it or not.) I still need to read Ôoku, and I think I am going to read The Girl of Fire and Thorns next for the purposes of shelf-cleaning.
