The trailer for Logan — Hugh Jackman’s final film before he hangs up his adamantium claws — has arrived, and it’s brought a surprise: the inclusion of X-23!
In addition to the appearance of Wolverine’s female clone, the brand new trailer hints at some Old Man Logan-esque elements, and some decidedly un-Old Man Logan ones.
You can watch the official trailer for Jackman’s final film as Wolverine below.
Broken into four different parts (the Princess, the Damsel, the Queen and You), Amanda Lovelace’s beautifully moving poetry collection is part memoir, part feminist tale and part motivational speech. Get your pens (and your hankies) ready, because you will want to underline the hell out of this thought provoking read.
You knew it was coming, the final devastating story in The Assassin’s Blade bind up. While I did appreciate the brief foray into Arobynn’s insanely manipulative mental process at the end of the story (you deserve everything you have coming your way sir), I didn’t necessarily need to read about the traumatic ending to all things Celaena and Sam.
What if Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars had a baby? A futuristic baby. Then you would definitely be reading Katharine McGee’s debut novel The Thousandth Floor. Set in the year 2118, this first in a series re-imagines life if Manhattan were a giant thousandth floor skyscraper, exploring the glamorous lives of the Tower’s elite and the not so posh citizens who live miles below them.

S.G. Browne is one of my instabuy authors, and has held a special place in my reading heart since I got my hands on his first novel Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament way back in 2009.
Not so fun fact: reviews for all of but his first tome exist here on Bibliomantics starting in 2011 when my writing skills were mediocre at best. What I’m saying is, don’t judge me too harshly if you choose to dig back into those.
Anyway, when Browne contacted me to review his latest three short stories I was all in, even more so when I saw their subject matter ranged from monster college to retired supervillains and kaiju.
Marvel and Hulu are teaming up with the creators of Gossip Girl to bring the comic book series Runaways to the small screen.

For inexplicable reasons, Alan Moore’s disturbing Batman graphic novel The Killing Joke is being adapted into a full length movie — a straight to video animated movie.
And despite its more adult subject matter, long-running Batman and Joker voice-actors Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are both on board.
You can watch the official trailer below, which also stars Ray Wise as Commissioner Gordon and Tara Strong as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, who will allegedly be treated with more respect in this adaptation.
Loved The Wrath and the Dawn? This very short story tells the beginning of the tale from Khalid’s point of view and reminded me exactly why I’ve been beyond excited to read The Rose and the Dagger at the end of April! While not a necessary read, I loved visiting Renee Ahdieh’s beautiful prose again — if only for a little while.
While the plot of V.E. Schwab’s A Gathering of Shadows is remarkably different from the first book in the series, A Darker Shade of Magic, it was a treat to return to Red London for a brand new and exciting plot centered around an event that is essentially the element Olympics. From magic to intrigue, disguises, secret romances, fancy parties and a sinister plot, AGOS has everything, including one hell of a cliffhanger. [READ FULL REVIEW]
What Reign of Shadows occasionally lacks in nuanced storytelling, it more than makes up for in plot, characters and setting! Set in a world driven into darkness by an eternal eclipse, this Rapunzel retelling is notable for its strong female protagonist and plenty of “where did this even come from?” plot twists.
