Sherlock Holmes 3

According to ComicBookMovie, Sherlock Holmes 3 has already been green-lit! Link. My, WB must be very confident that SH2 will be a hit. Oh, not that I'm complaining or something :P

Book # 114

"Excalibur Vol. 1: Forging The Sword" by Chris Claremont

4 stars out of 5

Art: Aaron Lopresti's art is really pretty, especially the female characters - the pictures are sexy without being lewd and all of them are distinct, not carbon copies of each other. 5 stars.

Story: I was so happy to find a story about Charles and Erik! As much as I like Wolverine, Cyclops or Jean Grey, I don't have to have every X-Men book about them, really, it gets tiresome. And Charles and Erik, their differences and friendship, are so interesting! It's too sad that more comic books don't focus on them. It was interesting to see Charles so disillusioned with humans which brought him closer to Erik. I also loved Erik's admittance that, even after everything that happened, Charles was still his friend. Also: There are some very funny parts! 4 stars.

Podfic rec: Sherlock

"when the war fires fade" by snowdarkred, read by lunchee | Gen | AU | The Wars turned the world on its head, and in that unrivaled chaos, John Watson was born with a rare gift. Sherlock, naturally, was born with an even rarer one. | 1hr. 1min.

When he entered 221b for the first time, John discovered two things:

One, Mrs. Hudson had surprisingly powerful wards for an elderly retired woman on a pension.

Two, the wards hated Sherlock Holmes. John had never seen anything like it.

Wonderful! Wonderful story, wonderfully read. Simply... wonderful! \o/
