Hey, thanks for the run-down on the X-books. I hardly ever read "official" tie-in novels. I figure the authors are so constrained by TPTB that the story can never be as good as fanfic. But now and then I read the "official" novels.

The one by Liu sounds interesting.

I read the Chaos Engine triolgy and got bored to death by the endless rambling interludes about these characters in outer space.... I found myself skipping hundreds of pages. That book needed some severe editing.

At least in X-verse we don't seem to have a problem with the authors of the tie-ins barging into our fan space to pimp their books or respond indignantly to lackluster reviews.... that's what's going on in SPN fandom.

I must say I find those interludes a little boring as well, but I'm that kind of people who won't drop a book until finish it, and most of the time I find the story overall makes up for some of its drawbacks, but there're still times that I think I totally wast my money and efforts. *points to Empire's End*

I guess X-fans are more indulgent of the authors using the x-characters, but I guess my tolerance is strengthened over the years by the comic writers constantly screwing over my favorite character. *sigh*

Haven't read AXM #22 yet, but I couldn't resist. Scott is the best! Is that a paraphrase of his Sentinel-blasting moment? Or is that just me?

And Dark Mirror sounds intriguing, thanks for posting the list!

'The rogue Sentinel' is the one Scott destroyed, but it is to refer to Danger's one of many (not-entirely-successful) attempts at killing the X-Men, probably has nothing to do with Scott's Sentinel-blasting moment, though that scene is one of the best scenes in AXM, it shows how awesome Cyclops is!
