Okay, I just caught up on the first two episodes of Season 2 and yeah, I am sold on sticking around to catch whole Season 2.

(I already replayed S2 opening title a bunch as I love guitar riff paired with animation.)

95) Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake S1 > As sequel series go, I thought this did pretty good job building off what came before (with Simon) and evolving concept of Fionna and Cake.

I think I might keep my sub active to see how S2 goes.

94) Adventure Time: Distant Lands > Since I still have HBO Max for at least another month, I figured I checked these out.

I would say it was pretty enjoyable collection of specials. Together Again & Obsidian definitely being my favorites of bunch.

This week's library book...

(Hm. I need to find something else from my library after this one.)

93) Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge > I couldn’t resist rewatching this, so I figure I close day out with it.

Gort was definitely highlight for me.

(The fact that Marnie's actress [Kimberly Brown] end up later marrying Kal's actor [Daniel Kountz] is kind of funny.)

92) Halloweentown > Since it was still Halloween, I decided to rewatch another classic from my youth.

Benny the cab driver is still my favorite extra from this.

91) Hocus Pocus > I gave this rewatch in spirit of today’s holiday.

It is still a fun watch. *hums "I Put a Spell on You" to myself*

90) Absolute Batman Volume 1 > While I did joke about this comic’s Bat logo before (See second image), I did end up liking this universe’s take on Batman.

And like Wonder Woman, I am looking forward to reading more.

89) Absolute Wonder Woman Volume 1 > As someone with limited experience with Wonder Woman media (I only really know her from Justice League show and DCEU films), I thought this did a great job of reimagining her and her mythos.

I am looking forward to reading next volume when my library gets it.

88) Doctor Aphra: Chaos Agent > I am tad disappointed this end so soon, especially as it felt like it was just getting start.

It certainly didn’t help with cameo of week style they went for this run (That said, Han's issue was favorite out of the run).

I also wasn’t big fan of the art.

84) Star Wars: The Last Order > Jannah’s story was highlight of this book.

If anything, I think it would been better if it had just committed to that as Post-TROS story is nothingburger and Finn’s story didn’t add anything majority new. I will give it that Finn felt pretty in character though.

I just finished this.... I must admit that I had rather mixed feelings on it.

I'll save my overall thoughts for Media thread (Which I probably wait to share tomorrow, so I can just sit with my book thoughts for a bit).

This week's library comics...

(Since I finished my X-Files Library book, I figured I give these DC comics a look.)

JMJ @jmj064.bsky.social · 10d

I am glad we do seem be getting some new characters in this run (My main complain about first run was that it involved too many TCW characters).

I made it to Chapter 15 today.

I would say Jannah's past stuff is most interesting part of book so far.

I didn't managed to get too far into it today (I only make it up Chapter 6).

It been interesting so far.

83) Star Wars: The Jaws of Jakku > I thought it was fun little adventure.

Maybe not best usage of Jakku revisit for Rey though.

Also, I wish it wasn’t audio only story as I really struggle with experiencing a book that way.

(See alternate text of image 2 for some spoiler thoughts)

Star Wars: The Jaws of Jakku (Audible Original)

*** SPOILER WARNING ***

I love that moment between Rey and Finn about Rey’s training struggles in Chapter 15.

In Chapter 16, BB-8 pretending to be corrupted again by approaching Finn menacingly was also another great moment.

It also cool to see what Visler Korda’s final fate was (He was villain of Adventures in Wild Space books) and that he apparently try to use knowledge from Boolan, Royce Hemlock, and Cornelius Evazan to get back into Empire’s good graces.

82) Over the Garden Wall > I figure I give this rewatch for the season.

Not much to say, beside it was pretty good time.
