The War that Time Forgot

Over 500 pages of classic adventures are included in this value-priced volume collecting one of the most unusual series ever from DC Comics! On an unnamed, uncharted Pacific island, dinosaurs continued to thrive while World War II raged across the globe. It’s there that members of the U.S. Military found themselves armed only with standard-issue weapons against the deadliest predators ever to roam the Earth!

I love the Showcase series. And I love that DC is reprinting this sort of stuff. Now if they'd only print more new series I like to read.

Against the Day

I'm currently reading Pynchon's latest, Against the Day. It is a fun read though at points it feels like a roleplaying game or 4 I've been in. So far we have areonauts, cthuloid like creatures, time travel and intelligent dogs. And Tesla. And there is this whole anti-corporation thing going on (I think), so like I said roleplaying games.

Hopefully I'll be done it this week and can write more. It is massive (1085 pages!) but I'm enjoying it. However it really does feel like the most SF thing Pynchon has ever wrote, and that is saying a bunch.

Oh, and there's a wiki.

And I'm still looking for all the bizarre sex I was promised in the reviews. That must be after page 400 or something.

The Rainbow Orchid

Adventure in the style of TinTin. Very beautiful and a fun story besides. Set in what seems like the early 1920’s or so, it tells of a mystery adventure to seek out a beautiful and perhaps mythical orchid so that a man may win a competiton, a bet, and retain his family estate.  Oh but there are dastardly plans afoot to foil this noble adventure! With ancient languages on tablets of stone, missionaries with strange stories to tell, beautiful Hollywood actresses and plucky historian’s assistants - this is an adventurethat I'm enjoying catching up with! 

If this ever gets printed I'd buy a copy.
