No longer Assassins Creed :-(
They really need to stop calling these games Assassins Creed.

Set in ancient Greece and, like AC: Origins before it, Ubisoft is moving further and further away from what made these games so unique and enjoyable to begin with: instead of the sneak 'em up of the original, we're now thrown into a world (and game) that strongly favours hack and slash gameplay, with numerous fetch side missions required to enable you to reach the next gated story point.

It' s not all bad, however: Kassandra (the inly logical choice!) is an appealing protagonist, and the Legacy if the First Blade DLC does at least make some attempt to tie it into the AC mythos.

With the exception of the opening issue of this volume (Issue 7, "Moving Day"), the rest of this volume is a snoozer!

The remainder of the book was given to crossovers for two different, unrelated events ("Millennium" and then a x-over with SUICIDE SQUAD), as well as a Annual that should have been included in Volume 1, as that's where it took place!

Other than the first appearance of G'Nort, who happens to be one of my favorite DC characters, there is really no need to want to check this Volume out. Seriously, even you are a completist, there is really nothing here that you could not live without. Promise!

Now, onto Volume Three..!

I got this as a freebie back in 2012, I think, and only really got around to reading it as part of "We Heart YA groups" A-Z Challenge.

I ended up DNF'ing at 20%.

It wasn't bad or anything, just not enough happened in that first fifth of the story to grab my attention and to make me want to continue reading.

If something other than her starting a new school and learning she's a witch (though she should have figured that out by herself already), oh and meeting a cute boy and his dog, then I might have wanted to continue but like I said, the plot was moving far too slowly for me.

I presume that most people have all but forgotten the crazy story of Richard Jewell and the events surrounding the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bomb. This retelling is done very well with a cast that fires on all cylinders.

There are some times that the moving gets a bit slow, but it almost has to in order to tell the story it's conveying.

Sam Rockwell deserves far more credit that he received for his role, and Kathy Bates might have been shunned for a supporting actress award, as well as Jon Hamm for supporting actor.

If you have any interest in history or events from American (or world) history, this movie is definitely worth the time.
