    Fully admitting to and owning my literary/authorial snobbery, I've always wondered...are those YA Superhero prose things any good?

    I read the Mutant empire trilogy and enjoyed it. It was a fairly standard but decently written X-men adventure. I know the reason people tend to dislike these prose novels is because they feel the lack of art detracts from the story and makes it a downgrade from the typical comic format.

    The lack of art should never be a detraction. If a novel is written well the words alone are enough to paint vivid pictures.

    As with the prose I read, I would expect the author to be able to paint the pictures for me...if they fall short and all we get are schlocky dialogue and standard exposition interspersed with generic action, well...I'll stick to my Jacqueline Carey, G.G. Kay and Mark Lawrence.

    Kinda makes me want to read the Triage & Tempus one just to see whether the author was able to escape the Tempus Ex Machina thing.

    That sems nice. Correct me if I'm worng, but a novel would be like a book, right? If it is the case, it'll b even more interesting to get the chance to dive deep inside these characters. I wonder if it'll be cannon. For both of these characters it seems likely, but I'm not sure about Domino's and Rogue's.

    Novel is book format with the slighty chance of pictures but it's main all words.

    I wonder what version of Domino are they using the comic or movie version?

    I remember those books. In fact, I was collecting some of those Marvel prose novels that were being published back in the 1990s. I was more of a Spider-Man person (still am), but I had X-Men: Empire's End and Part 2 of the X-Men/Spider-Man team-up trilogy Time's Arrow.
