More comics nerdism thanks to the public library's extensive Graphic Novel collection:

Spider-Man Noir: The Complete Collection by David Hine, Roger Stern, et. al.
... a cool "alternate universe" Spider-Man story collection set in the crime-ridden New York City of the early 1930s. It's very cool seeing how they "transplanted" Peter and his supporting cast (Aunt May, J. Jonah Jameson, the Black Cat, the Green Goblin, Sandman, etc.) to that time and tweaked their various back stories so they fit the period. Neat stuff.

Becoming Superman: My Journey From Poverty to Hollywood, by J. Michael Straczynski

... autobiography of the "Babylon 5" creator and long time comics/movies scriptwriter, who apparently had it pretty rough growing up in a family of con artists, abusers, and criminals.

Nobody else read the Dio autobiography yet? I liked it, but thought it was too short. They ended it right around the Sacred Heart days. Glad they covered a lot of his pre-Elf days. Great read, hopefully Wendy will put the rest of his story out there one day. He had such a great career after Sacred Heart. I know that was pretty much his peak, but I'd still love to read about the rest of his discography and life.

Anyways, picking back up a book I started a while back called Leviathan Wakes, by James S. A. Corey. Sci-fi series, Amazon based a show off of called The Expanse. Haven't watched it yet, wanted to read some of the books first. Good book so far, think I'll actually finish it this time lol

I haven't started it yet. Halfway through another book at the moment. I plan to start reading the Dio book next.

Before I read Billy Summers by Stephen King should I first read the Hodges trilogy?

Or are they separate stories and characters?

I want the Michael Sweet book, but I can’t find it. And the last time I did see one, it was expensive.

* if anyone has a copy they want to sell me for a decent price, let me know. Smile
