Mike Carlson (115 KP) rated The Amazing Spider-Man: The Gauntlet - Juggernaut in Books

Mar 24, 2018

The main reason for this collection is a good 3 issue story featuring a new Captain Universe trying to eliminate the Juggernaut. This is a follow-up to a 2 issue Spider-Man/Juggernaut story from 1982 (which is also included).

I really like it when stories deal with the aftermath of events, especially when the events seem inconsequential. There was no hint that anything in the original tale could have devastating effects, but the new story revealed and dealt with the repercussions very well. Being superheroes, all actions should cause reaction.

Lastly, or firstly since it leads the charge, there is a single issue story about a new Scorpion. The SHIELD tech that makes Spidey lose his powers was interesting. Entertaining, but not remarkable.

This was an interesting show to have stumbled upon. I like the premise of 2 individuals powers being linked. There are many questions still to be answered. Unfortunately, from the first 4 or 5 episodes there is not much to keep you hooked, they seem a bit aimless, and the characters who are inexplicably linked don't really go well with each other. It pick up after that, although episode 8 seems to tie the whole story ark in a bow, leaving you in a position where yet again there is no real reason to continue watching.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Cape Storm (Weather Warden, #8) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

At the end of the previous book in the Weather Warden series (<i>Gale Froce</i>), Joanne - and, by extension, the entire organisation - had gone public with their powers over the forces of nature.

Not only that, but she had also got married to her Djinn lover David. On the minus side, however, she has also had a Demon Mark latched onto her, by her old nemesis 'Bad Bob' Beragnine (sp?).

This novel picks up from the end of that, with the warden organisation out to hunt down Bad Bob while a storm is about to lash the coast of Florida (nature doesn't like being messed with), and while Joanne must try to stop herself from going to the 'dark side'.

I only started to watch this because I loved Robert Sheehan in Misfits and I thought it seemed like a similar show. It starts off quite slow in my opinion with the 'death' of the father and the reunion of the siblings but it quickly picks up! You learn what powers they have and how they affected them. You find out each characters background and why they turned out how they are. I particularly love Diego and his wholesome relationship with the 'mom' robot. I have to say though, I hated Vanyas character. I thought she was a whiny bitch and she quite literally ruins the whole thing. I understand why she was important though. Also, R.I.P Ben, the poor guy didnt even get enough screen time.
