Book #30

"The Orc King (Transitions #1)" by by R.A. Salvatore

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

An interesting addition to the "Legend of Drizzt" series. My favorite part was, I can't believe it myself, Obould's rise to power. Orcs as my favorite characters? Who would've thought? But Obould seemed like the most sane person around. Crazy, I know. Everybody else was ruled by their emotions. Especially Bruenor. Besides Obould, I also liked Nanfoodle the gnome and Regis the halfling, but that's nothing new, those characters are always amazing.

Beautiful artwork and great story. This was my first X-Men comic book - though I'm a big fan of the movies - but I hadn't even finished it yet and I was already ordering Book 2, so that's telling. Like always, I was mostly interested in Charles and Erik's story. Which was quite interesting in this volume. I'm curious what happened to Magneto and if Professor X knows...
