So I went and joined the Science Fiction Book Club - the introductory package included 5 books for .50 each and a 6th book for free, so it seemed like a pretty good deal. I wouldn't have joined except for the fact that they carry graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and novels based on comic books. I was able to fulfil my commitment with my first order (only have to buy 2 books at regular club prices within a year) when I bought the novelization of
Crisis on Infinite Earths, a
Green Lantern novel and got a 3rd book,
Queen of the Slayers - a story that takes place shortly after the closing of the Hellmouth at the end of the Buffy series - absolutely free!
I'm enjoying the club already.
I've already dived into
Crisis and am about twelve chapters in. It's pretty good so far. I just had to find out what all the fuss was about with the whole
Crisis storyline
. It can get pretty confusing, what with all the multiple earths floating around out there in the multiverse. Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 3, Earth D. I wonder if characters from these alternate earths ever take offense at being labeled such as that. Wouldn't they all consider their own Earth to be Earth 1? It's all a matter of perspective.
