I finished the various graphic novels series that I’ve been plowing through over the past few months. Then I paused, undecided on what to read next. Last week Ray recommended a few things to me, including Grant Morrison’s run on the Justice League of America. I hadn’t read a team supers series since I tried (and discarded) Whedon’s run on the X-Men ( Read more... )

Well let's see... Subsequent to the popular six novels you have probably read, there was Elric at the End of Time which was more properly part of the Dancers of the End of Time series. Then Moorcock wrote Fortress of the Pearl and Revenge of the Rose as part of Elric's continued adventures. The Second Ether Trilogy is strongly related to the Elric cycle and brings back Rose von Bek (who is the same Rose from Revenge of the... you will find). Then as I mentioned, the Multiverse of Michael Moorcock kind of ties up the Second Ether Trilogy.

There is a more recent trilogy, culminating just a little over a year ago starting with the Dreamthief's Daughter and continuing with the Skrayling Tree and White Wolf's Son. This is probably one of the most important trilogies combined with Second Ether as it really helps tie the Multiverse together. You get to learn more about the von Bek lineage. There is more on Elric, and the story even ends up in Granbretan at one point with appearances from old friends like Oona Persson, Bastable and even Reynard der Fuchs. This trilogy is also tied in with Making of a Sorcerer, but as I say you can enjoy Sorcerer as its own story.

So yeah, there's a lot to catch up on. Heh, just this past monday, Mike posted on Forums
that he finished the first Elric Novella he has written in 30 years, called Black Petals.
