Well, movie-enthusiasts out there, Marvel’s movies are taking a step away from their massively successful Avengers & Co line (though Benicio Del Torro’s new villain is in this trailer), unveiling the Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer. It’s not a teaser, but a proper trailer, so I thought I’d share. #1 – Guardians of the Galaxy […]
Black Library’s Horus Heresy short story anthology Mark of Calth is themed to revolve around the aftermath of the Word Bearers treacherous attack on the Ultramarine planet of Calth, as detailed (among others) in Know No Fear. This is part two of my Mark of Calth review. Here you’ll find part one. The second half […]
Black Library’s first published novel. Dan Abnett’s first published novel. The start of a book series running into .. 14 (?) books by now: First and Only! Is the book any good? Is it even possible to review it “fairly”? I might not be able to answer the second question, though I can answer the […]
I bought a few books on Games Day 2013, including Dan Abnett’s The Unremembered Empire! This is an experiment in many ways, not least because I well and truly gave up reading the Horus Heresy series in order of its publication with this one. I also got a rather strange signature from Dan Abnett (see above!). Anyhow… […]
Games Workshop’s UK Games Day 2013. Let’s get the basics out first. I didn’t really enjoy this year’s Games Day. Not nearly as much as I enjoyed Games Day 2012. Not everything was bad at this year’s Games Day and I see why some of the changes were made – in theory. The most change, […]
Black Library is launching a new series-format for their novels: Black Library Classics! We certainly didn’t have a new format in.. probably a week or so. On the upside, this on will be available available on Amazon and be relatively affordable. Three – truly classic – Black Library books will start off the series in October / […]
I do not read many Warhammer Fantasy books from Black Library, though I’ve long wanted to pick up Gilead’s Blood. I vividly recall the cursed, gloomy and enigmatic elf warrior named Gilead from way, way back in Black Library’s old Inferno Magazine. Gilead’s Blood reprints several of the old, loosely connected Gilead stories (though I don’t […]
I decided to take a break from Black Library and see what else their authors write. Dan Abnett’s Embedded piqued my interest, so I gave it a try. Embedded is a fun book, though it left me conflicted trying to write a review. Embedded delivers great military action set within a fantastically vivid take on […]
I am an avid reader of Black Library books. These days, I probably read more Warhammer 40K novels from Black Library than I play Warhammer 40K. Like the products for Warhammer 40K the game by the Games Workshop studio, Black Library… made a strong move towards pricier premium products – mainly hardcovers, limited editions and […]
Some time last year, news broke that Black Library will be producing Horus Heresy Graphic Novels. Unfortunately, these will not be available until November 2013. In the meantime, Black Library is busy re-publishing some old favourites from their Inferno and Warhammer Monthly Magazines as Graphic Novels. Up next is Dan Abnett’s and Anthony Williams’ Titan!
