Don't Fear the Graphic Novel (Returnal: Fallen Asteria)

MacGuffins 'r' Us! (Dead Space: Catalyst Part 2)
This has to be it. The low point right? There is nothing remotely interesting about this book aside from the anger that it stirs inside of me like small, tiny star. But that would be impossible because as we know if I had a star inside of me then it would consume me, and also Doc Ock would not be able to contol it with his tentacles. The power of a star in the palm of his hands. What did HE know?
Anyway, maybe we can just watch Spider-Man 2 next episode instead.

FNAF The Fourth Closet? More Like The First Best Book in the Series! (Part 2)
That's right, I'm saying it, with 2/3 of the book done I'm calling it, this is the best book. Of the FNAF trilogy. To be clear, it's like a good book but the fact that we are so over the top in the praise is mostly because of what came before. You know, like a coconut or something?
