Chapter By Chapter: The Black Stallion’s Ghost ch. 17

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Chapter By Chapter Black Stallion's Ghost

When we last left our heroes the captain was dead, which may or may not be due to a vengeful horse god, Alec and the Black were still lost in the Everglades, and chapter titles barely described what happened in the chapter. I wonder what will happen in this one?

Morning Article Link: Return To Westworld

Beyond Westworld

I learned something interesting. The original Westworld movie, about Wild West theme park robots going rogue, was written and directed by Michael Crichton, who I thought was only a novelist. Apparently it was his first directoral venture. It sparked a TV series called Beyond Westworld, but HBO dropped a teaser for a NEW Westworld series. Spinoff Online (forgetting to mention the previous TV venture) brings us the teaser.

Batman: The Animated Bible> The Cat And The Enigma

Batman The Animated Bible logo

The 60s Batman movie featured Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, and the Riddler. They also made the most appearances of all the Bat-foes adapted for and native to that series. I don’t know if that’s why these four are first ones in the listings of villains for the series but it could explain it.

In this installment we look as Selina Kyle and Edward Nigma. After what we saw last week with the Joker and Penguin (who also appeared in the New Scooby-Doo Movies…twice, along with Batman and Robin) we may learn things about the characters that the series never had a chance to show us. We’ll start with Batman’s love interest.
