![]() ![]() Some oomph or something to set it apart from being just an incredibly standard, empty, rote entry in the Friday the 13th series. I guess the writing team of Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti have turned out some decent stuff in the past, so I thought this might have a little more to it. Well, I don't know what I was expecting this to be. Overall this is worth reading only if you're a die-hard Jason fan (Like myself) you'll have fun with the kills. ![]() ![]() Oh and boobs, lots and lots of boobs and some butt.īad: The dialogue is pretty awful, the story is run of the mil shit, and of course the ending makes no goddamn sense but they never do. They're brutal and really what you came for. Jason chops arms off, legs off, cuts heads in half, and more. The main girl actually has some decent survival skills and does plan to survive this as any main character who's a girl who's naked more often than not would do in a horror situation. He makes his way through each character by slashing and dashing, leaving very little in his wake. After a group of dumbass teenagers go into the woods to, you guessed it, have sex and smoke weed, Jason is ready to slaughter. ![]() Friday the 13th is coming up so I decided to check out the few horror comics based off the movies I could find. And we're having a blast going through all the good old horror movies. So my wife and I are doing our Halloween marathon before, well, Halloween. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wilfred Owen with his flaring genius the intense, compassionate Siegfried Sassoon the composer Ivor Gurney Robert Graves, who would later spurn his war poems the nature-loving Edward Thomas the glamorous Fabian Socialist Rupert Brooke and the shell-shocked Robert Nichols-all fought in the war, and their poetry is a bold act of creativity in the face of unprecedented destruction. In Some Desperate Glory, the historian and biographer Max Egremont gives us a transfiguring look at the life and work of this assemblage of poets. The poets-many of whom were killed-show not only the war's tragedy but also the hopes and disappointments of a generation of men. And while World War I devastated Europe, it inspired profound poetry-words in which the atmosphere and landscape of battle are evoked perhaps more vividly than anywhere else. The story of World War I, through the lives and words of its poets The hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of what many believed would be the war to end all wars is in 2014. ![]() ![]() ![]() But when a mysterious Chinese benefactor reaches out with an impossible-and illegal-job offer, Will finds himself something else as well: the leader of a heist to steal back five priceless Chinese sculptures, looted from Beijing centuries ago. Across the Western world, museums display the spoils of war, of conquest, of colonialism: priceless pieces of art looted from other countries, kept even now.Ī senior at Harvard, Will fits comfortably in his carefully curated roles: a perfect student, an art history major and sometimes artist, the eldest son who has always been his parents’ American Dream. Ocean’s Eleven meets The Farewell in Portrait of a Thief, a lush, lyrical heist novel inspired by the true story of Chinese art vanishing from Western museums about diaspora, the colonization of art, and the complexity of the Chinese American identity. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Okay, so, I've managed to avoid the Big Confrontation for two days, but that can't continue," I told the mare. And I definitely needed help with both of those things. Grooming Persephone always helped me think and made me feel better. I kissed her soft muzzle and went back to brushing her sleek neck. Persephone, the big sorrel mare who I could consider mine for as long as I lived at the House of Night, craned her head around and nuzzled my cheek. I'm Zoey Redbird, currently the undisputed Queen of Making My Friends Pissed Land. But my crappy nonsleep is currently the easiest thing to deal with since life really sucks when your friends are pissed at you. (Well, more accurately, all day-'cause, you know, I'm a vampyre fledgling and we have that whole issue of day and night being turned around.) Anyway, I got zero sleep last night/day. The caw! caw! cawing! of one stupid crow kept me up all night. ![]() ![]() Living in landlocked Texas, taking care of her family and having never studied jellyfish, Berwald is an unlikely jellyfish champion. What really stands ‘Spineless’ apart from many other science books is a strong personal touch and in many ways it could also be considered a memoir. Through a unique combination of science and storytelling Berwald explores the lives of jellyfish like never before and shows that these translucent gelatinous creatures don’t need a backbone, or even a brain, to play an important role in our oceans. But after reading this book, you’re likely to put these overlooked invertebrates much higher on your list. If you were to write a list of the most interesting and important creatures in our oceans the humble jellyfish is unlikely to make it very far off the bottom, if you remembered to include it at all. ![]() ![]() A bloom of moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) ![]() ![]() ![]() When a shocking assassination leaves the kingdom reeling, Mare and Denna reluctantly join forces to search for the culprit.
