I’m prepping a tabletop RPG game set in the Battletech universe so I’ve been doing some reading. Right now I’m about 1/3 of the way through Decision at Thunder Rift, one of the first BattleTech novels. I highly recommend it. It’s not high art by any means but it’s a lot of fun and action-packed. |

| Battletech, awesome, hadn't played the role playing game since the 80's. Also a big Mechwarrior fan, tons of hours on the X-Box! | ||

| Yeah, I played a lot of MechWarrior 2 back in the 90s but didn’t get i to the tabletop game because the mech designs at the time were either really boxy or really goofy or both. Last year I got a 3D printer and there was a Humble Bundle with a bunch of rulebooks and made the plunge. It also helped that the mech designs were being updated in a more grounded style    |

| @dielinfinite I have a diecast metal model/action toy of Madcat(almost 6-8 in) and one other, and a ton of hero clix. I recognize Atlas in your pictures, one of the other pics looks like a Stiletto type mech. very cool! | ||

| The other two are the Locust and the Crab. I never got to play the HeroClix game. It had some wild Mech designs. They were pre-painted and included a lot of units outside of mechs, which was really cool. There are rules for other units in standard BattleTech but you have to get models for them from a third party |

| It took all month, but with the long weekend I took some time to go through my to-read pile (besides my weekly pulls). I read Bizarre Adventures 27, Secret Lives of the X-Men. It has a Jean Grey story from when she was thought dead, through the memory of her sister, an Iceman story, and a Nightcrawler story. They were all solid. It's kind of nice reading an old comic (1981) in black and white, as I think modern coloring makes everything look a bit homogenized. Marvel Graphic Novel 23, Doctor Strange into Shamballa. I don't read much Doctor Strange. I don't like magic because writers often take it as license to do whatever they want without internal consistency. This has some of that but the story is mostly about Strange's internal struggle, so it was fine. I did like the art, which had a nice watercolor style. The Illustrated Al, a bunch of comic-izations of Weird Al Yankovic songs that don't have music videos. I enjoyed it but there are certainly some deep cuts in there. There are different artists for each song, so there's some variability, but with Al's lyrics there's a lot of oddness and that gives the art some consistency. X-Men: Die By the Sword, a TPB collecting a crossover between the Exiles and Excalibur. It was fine, but it's about Roma and the Fury and Excalibur stuff I never cared for. I did like the Exiles series so I was happy to see some of those characters again, although they mostly take a backseat to the Captain Britain stuff. Hopefully I'll get to some more in the next two days to start off the new year. |

| Today I burned through my stack of Spider-Gwen trades. I enjoyed them. It covered from Edge of Spider-Verse 2 through issue 29 of her self-titled series, skipping a few issues along the way. The trades almost entirely cut out her dimension-hopping adventures, which makes them feel a bit incomplete (and occasionally a little confusing). Like at some point she loses her powers and I have no idea how or why. But on the whole it's good. I know some people don't like alternate reality stories, but if the whole story is in another universe then there are still stakes. And I, personally, enjoy the "what if" aspect of things. | ||
