Wade Garret's World

https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-453vt-114c2d8

From mpmcvey.com I want to preface this review with the admission that I’ve never read any Flintlock Fantasy before now, a subgenre to which Ghosts of the Scattered Kingdoms belongs. It’s the first book in Wade Garret’s Where Shadows Reign Series, and I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of the book for the sole purpose of writing this honest review. Epic Publishing is set to release the book on November 23rd, and the blurb for the novel on Amazon starts by stating that the story would be “perfect for fans of Steven Erikson and Brian McClellan.” I’m not familiar with either author, but having read Ghosts of the Scattered Kingdoms, I’d have to say that this comparison only serves them greatly. They should be proud to be connected to such a strong piece of work. The novel opens with the gruesome view of a broken land, scarred and tattered–like broken, bleached bones left out in the sun. A man in black rides on an injured horse, heading to a safe haven in a land s...

Epic Publishing: One of our authors, Wade Garret, is celebrating his birthday this week. 🎂🎈 So, we thought this would be the perfect time to share a snippet of the cover for his upcoming novel, Ghosts of the Scattered Kingdoms. In the coming weeks, we'll give you the first look at the full illustrated cover by the uber talented Alejandro Colucci (https://www.alejandrocolucci.com/gallery).

So, lets talk about this verions of the JL. I'll start about by saying it was WAY better than the first one, however, being honest, I'm still not sure I can give Z.S all the creidt since he basically got the greatest redo in movie history. I mean, he got an extra, what, 70m+ to make it, and more time and it ended up being 4hrs+ long. Where else as this happnened? Never. Also, I have no doubt that THIS isn't in any way the movie we would've gotten had it been him from start to finnish, but that's just me. I feel this movie is a collective work, from the fans to those actually making the movie, which is why people like me who really really hated the original, have come around to like this movie and yet, well, we're still kinda raw about it. No reason to go into great detail since this movie fixes alot of issues from the original. I will say a few things though. 1) Ben is way better as Batman in this version. No stupid jokes yet the humor flows around him...

Question for anyone out there: I'm running a DnD game for my nephews when I'm not working, writing, tooling with my POS car or fixing shit around the house—SO, would anyone care to KNOW what's going on in their first ever RPing adventure? Laid out in a short-story type fashion? Three Players: 1) Monk 2) Sorcerer 3) Thief By now they're Third Level. Thoughts?

Hey, So, it's been done. But now I'm getting around to finally sharing it here. This is what happened: We (Mighty Quill Books and Me) have taken the prologue from my first novel, GENESIS: Book One of the Kingdom Come Series, and made it into its own stand alone short/novella. Savvy? Its gone from around 6k (when a prologue) to now 50k+—not including what it'll be when finally edited and ready for print. Cover ideas are also shaping up nicely. I hope you all enjoy it. Teasers: Plenty of NEW characters have been introduced and the world around the protag, his cohorts and the mission, has more than doubled. Also, monsters. Lots. Of. Monsters. :) And because I didn't get to it in the original prologue, there's now MAGIC!!!! *GENESIS is also in the process of a re-edit for re-release. *Then Book Two, which is already in the works :) Stay Tuned.

Should I review it? Reply to let me know, either here, FB or Twitter. :)

So, for me, this movie was 8/10 A few bits here kept it from a 10/10 and honestly some of that might be the fact it's the last solo movie 10+yrs into this storyline and I'm just ready to have the whole team together and doing their thing to end Thanos; which I'm so excited to see the new CAP among them, trading combos and verbal quips as they battle to fix the universe :) The last reason why it's not at least a 9/10, is the fact I'm a bit torn.  You see, I feel perhaps that we overlooked a per-existing Cap Marvel and maybe she should've been the one to get the movie? Maybe Carol should've been the one inspired to take up the mantel sometime in the future......but Marvel has its reasons and I wager they bet a newly rising star's power to influence the greater life of Marvel and the Avengers in phases and stories to come.  Perhaps a young Photon will be running the show one day?

Dude! How did Ant Man get out???????????????? *Yes, I'm still holding out for a F4 exp/involvement :)

Well, never mind then. I tried to share images of the movie, but everything is now unable to be shared............. OH well, you prob already saw it by now. It was fantastic.

Ok, I've waited long enough and again, you've all likely talked about this epic movie to death. So, let's talk about it some more. :) First, let's jump into the rating: 8 out of 10. You can guess all the reasons why it's 8 * Action was awesome. * Cast was awesome. * Seeing all the amazing characters together was awesome. * Scale was awesome (NY, SPACE, WAKANDA) * Dialogue between characters was awesome. Ok, now, why wasn't it a 10 out of 10? Can you guess? THE ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Spoilers ahead. *I mean it. *I'm not kidding. The Ending: Nope, I'm not really a fan of the ending. Because as it's become more apparent since seeing the movie for some, I KNEW while watching, that the Deaths were bullshit. And yes, that matters to me. Why does it matter? BECAUSE they couldn't actually pull the trigger—even with Thanos being the bad guy who they've hyped for a decade—and kill off character ...

I've seen it and the review will be coming, safe to say, it's now tied as my favorite MARVEL TITLE/Single-Hero movie. The other being Captain America: Winter Solider (and if you know the history between Black Panther and Cap, this makes perfect sense :)) Ok. Wow. So, yeah, I'm soooooooooo far behind on this review it's basically pointless to write. Too bad I'm still going to do it, but it's not going to be nearly as long or as indepth as it might've been had I not been a lazy ass.  Wakanda To The best part of Black Panther, aside from the only other topic I'll briefly cover (because by now you all should've seen the movie at least twice) is how NEW and FRESH and NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE this world is. The landscapes. The colors. The culture. The music. The costumes. The languages. The characters. #1: The respect for this world was ON POINT. And with respect, comes the complexity that can only be found at the hea...

So, it's been long enough. Too long actually that I doubt anyone gives a %$#@ about my opinion. With that in mind, I'll keep it short, more of a rant, given that you've already read dozens if not hundreds of these things. Overall, the quick and easy rating system: 7-8 out of 10* (mostly for some big moments and nostalgia) 6-7 out of 10* (those moments removed) 5-6 out of 10* (when you really dig into the plot as presented) And I kinda bounce somewhere along all three depending upon who I'm talking to about it. So while I'm not conflicted about whether I liked it, I'm conflicted about how good it actually was. As in, which is more important: How a movie makes you feel or How well the story actually unfolds. Going off memory, let's begin with the characters— Poe Dameron In the last movie we learned that Poe was the best of the best of the best of the best..... In the Last Jedi, we learn he's also a dick and the fact he's a dick l...
