- The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time Book 12)
Events move rapidly toward the apocalypse foretold in book one, and Sanderson shows he was a good choice to finish Jordan’s series. - New Spring (Comic Book) #1
- New Spring (Comics): The Long Publishing Saga It’s taken a long time (and three publishers) to complete this adaptation of the Wheel of Time prequel, even though it only covered eight standard-sized comic books

Not what they usually mean by LAN security, but certainly effective.
- The Shelves are Paved with (The Path of) Daggers
The only books left from the Wheel of Time back catalog at the end of the sale were the three you might expect people to leave on the shelf.
- What the M’Hael?
Apparently in the First Age, Mazrim Taim sought power by running a craft store, rather than becoming head of the Asha’man.
- Long-Awaited Fantasy Books: Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Wheel of Time, Ice and Fire
Back in 2005, Tokyopop started working on manga-style graphic novels based on Jim Henson’s Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. They released one volume of three planned for Legends of the Dark Crystal, taking place centuries before the movie, and two volumes of four planned for Return to Labyrinth, focusing on Sarah’s brother Toby as a […]

- Wheel of Time Plot Point…On a Truck?
Sadly, I don’t seem to have ever taken a picture of the logo for the “One Source” company I used to see with a variation on the Yin-Yang symbol without the dots. (There are so many companies with the name that I’m not having any luck looking online.)
- Finished The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time) – It’s Good
The first book of the 3-part conclusion to The Wheel of Time lives up to its promise. It may not be 100% Robert Jordan, but it’s the next best thing.

A tech list is discussing EAGAIN errors, and I keep misreading it as EGEANIN.
- Wheel of Time Finale: 3-Book Split
The last Wheel of Time book is so massive it’s being split into 3 volumes. I’m half annoyed, but it doesn’t surprise me that it needs that many pages.
- Shopping Observations
Can we get a moratorium on covers of “Last Christmas?” Actually, can we get one on the original too? Funny how easy it is to spot a cover by Darryl K. Sweet. It makes me want to mash up Xanth, WOT, and every other fantasy series he’s covered I can’t see giving someone Countdown to […]
- Spam from the Third Age
I’ve held off on posting funny spam subject lines lately, but I just had to comment on this pair. First up: Mazrim Taim was one of those, raising an army and ravaging Saldaea before he was taken. It’s a quote from Lord of Chaos, the 6th book in Robert Jordan’s fantasy series, The Wheel of […]
- Ta’veren of the DCU
I was idly wondering about the way super-heroes and villains are named—not the code names, but the actual names like Clark Kent, Matt Murdock, etc. Was Hunter Zolomon destined to become Zoom? Was Roy G. Bivolo doomed to become the Rainbow Raider the moment his parents named him? And why do so many people with […]
- Technicolor Wheel
The first issue of the New Spring comic book was surprisingly good. I wasn’t sure how well Robert Jordan’s writing would translate to the medium, and of course a lot of details are lost, but Chuck Dixon has done a good job adapting the story, and Mike Miller’s art is incredible. The book opens with […]
- The Wheel Turns
I finally talked myself into reading New Spring, the prequel novel to Robert Jordan’s interminable long-running Wheel of Time series. It’s actually a very interesting character study of young Moiraine, and much more engrossing than the last two books in the series have been—perhaps because I don’t expect it to advance the plot. Anyway, I’ve […]

- Better Accepted than damane.
On the rare occasion that I answer an email, my “about” fields indicate that I am Brown Ajah, of the Salidar faction. In recent weeks I have come to realize that I may have jumped the gun on my designation. Salidar I may be, but as yet I think Accepted is a more accurate term. […]
- Science Meets Fantasy: Wheel of Time genetics
I’m beginning to understand why someone would jump out of a bathtub and go streaking through the streets with a fantastic new idea. Recently, in the shower, my brain decided it wanted to write a graphic novel. The day after, it worked out a genetic explanation of channeling in the Wheel of Time universe. If […]
