Wednesday Reading Meme
What I Just Finished Reading
Andrew MacKenzie, Archaeology in Romania: The History of the Roman Occupation: Last minute Dacia research for the RBB! There was actually some interesting stuff about the standing stones at Sarmizegethusa here, but mostly the book was more political than I was expecting for an archaeology survey, being as it mostly wanted to make the point that Transylvania had been inhabited for a really, really long time and was therefore not empty, and not rightfully the territory of the invading Hungarians.
What I'm Reading Now
Comics Wednesday!
I thought that the A-Babies and X-Babies thing was supposed to be this week, but it is apparently next week. Aww. My picks for the Secret Wars weirdness this week:
MODOK Assassin #1: I... what. What.
Secret Wars 2099 #1: I have no way to describe this except "deeply weird corporate future dystopia."
Secret Wars Journal #1: The "Young Avengers do a medieval heist" story was cool.
X-Men '92 #1: This is a Battleworld realm set in the canon of the 1992 X-Men animated cartoon series. YES YES YES. ALL THE NOSTALGIA. IT IS AWESOME. AWESOME.
Anyway, uh... definitely read the X-Men one, if you were ever into that. It starts with them playing laser tag at the mall, okay? It is THE BEST.
What I'm Reading Next
I guess Naomi Novik's novel? I also really want to get started on the giant swath of Marvel canon I need to read to write the BB. Because, yes, now it's time to start thinking about the Big Bang fic.
