PROJECT HAIL MARY has been a steady readers' choice since its release, but it has a storyline which evades familiarity with the typical household. Early word is looking good for the adaption.

Ooo! I quite liked her in the Agatha Christie adaption. I look forward to seeing what she does in Greta Gerwig's film.

My favorite elementary school teacher, Mrs Pilkington, gifted me the Chronicles of Narnia when I relocated. Narnia still lingers in the edges.

Marvel draws on a wide array of heroes. I don't think it dampens the excitement. No one can say how pivotal, extensive or brief any character's presence will be - nor how the multiverse will deploy starts, ends, and opportunities.

Just like any Marvel comic. Lolz.

The Cascadia quake can hit anytime, and maybe the society we are in now (?!) will have to navigate the aftermath. Curious to see how TILT depicts the moments.

Hah! I adored Hickman's work on HOUSE OF X/POWERS OF X and his weaving of decades of mutant history into an unexpectedly nuanced modern/futuristic Xmen tale.

Absolutely keen to see what he could do with the cosmic elements.

I am an easy target for mutants in space, too. Fun year for comics.

Sounds like THE CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE began filming. This should bring a treasure trove of new visuals for fantasy fans. I was recently considering how the upcoming Potter and Narnia adaptions risk being overly familiar; having the opportunity to be transported somewhere new is exciting!

Fun to be surprised by the creatives.

Not only is Stephen King letting other writers contribute to THE STAND with an anthology of tales, but King himself was invited to provide a re-telling of a children's classic alongside Maurice Sendak art.

How dark will he go...

The adaptions I am enjoying are showing worlds apart from the familiar one.

WHEEL OF TIME riffed a bit in the telling, but they are gung-ho with their take. Hopefully they get to tell the whole story, because the toe-to-toe gets so earnest! So much to be seen still.
