We’ve all seen the Hulk battering someone through a building before, but the imagination at play here is far greater, and the compositions for the battle scenes are stunning, both up close and at a distance. The scene is set for the most spectacular scenes of Hulk mayhem ever committed to the printed page, and thanks to Romita Jr they’re provided.

The stories themselves (W&W) just feel low stakes (though obviously the background stuff is significant to the cosmere… and maybe that is my problem). It just feels no one is ever really in danger. Not saying I need main characters to die off or things need to be tragic. The other issue is the lack of consequences/stakes (at the local story level). I like Steris, but she’s really one dimensional. It feels like he still struggles to write female characters well. The humor in W&W… I just find myself rolling my eyes. The style of it feels… YA? I guess? I just find myself skimming dialog and even some of the action sequences. I don’t know what it is about the writing that bugs me in mistborn. Mistborn is not my favorite Sanderson series. I enjoyed it but less than my first time through when I was younger. I’m looking forward to this and just finished my full series reread. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Buzzell unearths Americas bones in all their beauty and starkness.

Desperate to escape the constraints of his postwar existence, he packs his things, gets in the car, and, for five months, drives across Americano map, no destination. Half a decade later, overwhelmed by the birth of his son and the death of his mother, Buzzell finds himself rudderless.

She's naturally very unhappy about being seemingly stuck in 1935, but appealingly, a more trivial thought crosses her mind: "Great," she muttered. Miri is a lovely heroine-smart and imaginative.
