Marvel's latest Disney Plus series, this is a departure from the previous (WandaVision, Falcon and Winter Soldier, Loki) in that this is - in reality - an animated anthology series that re-visits earlier Marvel movies and posits the question 'Waht if ...?'

 For example, What If ... Peggy Carter took the super soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers.
What if ... T'Challa became StarLord instead of Peter Quill
What if ... Ultron won

And so forth and so on.

Basically, the multiverse.

Due to its nature, some of the stories are better than others: for me by far the worse was the Zombie themed one, whilst a strong contender for the best would probably be the Waht if .. Thor was an only child? entry.

Your tastes may vary, of course!

Set during the period of the English Civil Wars, I have to say that I found this to be rather unusual in that it is not about (per se) the wars themselves: rather, it is set in the New Model Army camp over a winter period, between hostilities, with William Falkland (the Royalist of the title) plucked from his prison cell by none other than Oliver Cromwell himself and sent to investigate reports of suicides/disturbances in the camp.

Reading very much like a ECW version of a whodunnit, with the author - in the afterword - not at all shy to point out the influences of the hard-boiled detective hero/film noir of the 40s (think Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler) on this work.

❄️ As December settles in and the nights grow long, it’s the perfect season for stories of wandering princes, whispered secrets, and divine mysteries.

In Feathers and Foxes, Terrwyn of Melthkior—a prince and wandering scribe—is summoned to uncover the truth behind stolen apples gifted by the goddess Olwen. But in the kingdom of Erast, riddles deepen, loyalties blur, and the sudden disappearance of a young maid named Sulien draws Terrwyn into something far more personal than a simple quest.

A reimagining of 'The Golden Bird,' woven with Welsh mythology and quiet romance, FEATHERS AND FOXES is ideal winter reading for fans of fairytale retellings and mythic fantasy. 🦊✨
