Fiction

Doctor Who: The New Adventures
Timewyrm: Revelation by Paul Cornell
Prologues
Chapter 1


Finally cracking on with the fourth book in the Timewyrm quartet. (Somehow, it's almost eight months since I finished the last one — time is flying these days! On the bright side, it's not yet two years since I started the first. Yet.)

Comics

Exceptional X-Men
#7 X-Manhunt: Collateral Damage by Eve L. Ewing & Carmen Carnero
This is advertised as a “tie-in” issue, rather than a full-blown part of the X-Manhunt crossover. I read somewhere that the connection was literally one panel, but that’s unfair. For starters, it’s two pages. Secondly, it’s used as a jumping off point to illuminate the characters a little bit. Thirdly, it ties into broader themes of the issue and the current X-Men line. So, essential to the crossover’s story? No, of course not — that’s why it’s a tie-in. But a pointless one-panel reference? No, it’s more than that (thank goodness, because I’d’ve had a whole rant if that's all it had been).

X-Factor
#8 X-Manhunt, Chapter 5: The Summers of Days Past by Mark Russell & Bob Quinn
