Stranger Things : Six. TPB.

Six tells the story of 6 and a little about 3.

Six has the power to predict the future. But she is not very good at it. 

Three can influence people with his words.

Thought flashbacks it tells the story of her upbringing and how she got into the program. 

The story isn't the greatest. But it surprised me that a few years before the last season came out, that it foretold Vecna and the tank 11 used. 

It was an ok read. But not ground breaking.

Han Solo: Imperial Cadet. TPB.

This TPB collects the limited series about Han Solo when he was an Imperial Cadet. A missing part of the Solo movie. Which I feel had more then a few.

The story starts out when Han becomes a cadet. From the very beginning he is a jackass to his instructors. Constantly in trouble and being insubordinate. It only gets worse when he disobeys direct orders and steals equipment. 

We aren't dealing with the rebels or smugglers, we are dealing with the empire. The same empire that destroyed planets. Not sure why they didn't shoot him or just kick him out. They explained it that the commander of the academy took a liking to solo and his skills, reminding him of himself. 

That being said. I did enjoy the story. Just didn't seem to make sense why they would tolerate it.

Side note. TPB, trade paperbacks, are not the same as graphic novels. It's a pet peeves of mine, I know it's pretty. But a froahxi novel is a complete story meant to be read in a larger book like format, while a TPB is a collection of single issues from a series of comic books.

Thor

Thor. 

Thor the son of Odin, a familiar name that we have all heard about in school or on various tv shows. Here's the deal with marvels version. Odin is a all powerful humanoid from an alternate dimension where magic and science are the same. Anyone living in the dimension of assgard is immortal, which Odin can take away.  Frost giants, another humanoid race from another dimension, tried to conquer all other dimensions but was defeated by Odin.  

Odin had two sons that were raised together. Thor and Loki, unknown to them Loki is actually a Frost Giant orphan that Odin took to raise as his own. Thor was the chosen successor to the throne and given Mjölnir, a hammer that has various powers least of which is the ability to summon lightening.

When first we meet Thor he is arrogant, self centered and infaluable and the people love him. He makes the mistake of attacking the frost giants and shatter the peace they've had for decades.

Odin banishes him to earth and removes his immortality. The hammer follows to earth but a stipulation was added, only someone with a pure heart can wield it. 

The rest of the movie is basically a fish  out of water scenario. With Thor claiming to be the son of Odin and a great warrior and everyone else thinking he's nuts until Loki turns on Odin and Thor and sends a indestructible robot to kill Thor. 

This movie was fun and fast, but had the feel of just introducing us to the situations and not so much on story. 

I was never was a huge fan of Thor and if need be I wouldn't be that mad if he was left out of the avenger movie. However I have known people that are obsessed with him. I even knew somebody that tried to dig up their parents basement thinking Thor's hammer could be hidden under the dirt.

Train: Save me San Fransisco

Train:  
Save me San Francisco
Cd

This will be short. 

I have never heard a more commercial album.  Every track should sound familiar to anyone with a tv or a radio because they use it on every advertisement. The rhyming sounds like it was done by an idiot and is overused.
