Pretty good chapter. Brendan was lucky; though I have to wonder if he isn't wrong to mistrust Kier. . . . And the mummifier, he probably got the worst thing he could.
You know, I was wondering where you’d run off to. Haven’t seen any updates from you in weeks. Or is it just me? Heh. Well, anyways, this was another great chapter. I loved the decision that Logan made with Bob’s powers on the “mummy-maker” (yeah, I’m giving him a code name… after all… everyone should have one. Even if it’s a lame one). The fight scene with Angel and the rest of the crew was just beautiful. And as for Brendan and Kier, I still have my reservations about what Brendan is doing. I get the feeling he might be way over his head on this one. But I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Hey, you know, as I was reading that line where Marc said, “He’s Bob. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.” Reminded me of this character from another fan-fiction I’ve read recently. Try and read up on the original character of The Die Hard. She’s registered on the site. Character name is Lake. I swear man, she just has three or four stories in total, especially with this Lake character, but I loved it so much I’ve read each one of her works at least four or five times. Really, I’m not kidding. She warned her reviewers once that once you start thinking about what her original character/characters, especially Lake was capable of doing, and you won’t be able to stop. She was right. I actually had to mail her to let her know that I might want to use Lake in an upcoming fic of mine. She gave me her permission of course, but damn, now I can’t get that character out of my head. Anyways, try starting with Manhunter, followed by Interview (summary says Satan meets his match… first appearance of Lake. so very true), Lessons, Next, Passage, Flash and finally Truth. Trust me Notmanos; you won’t regret reading any of these stories.
Take care of yourself and keep up the great work yourself man.
Pretty good chapter. Poor Brendan; he's always picked on. . . . Pretty coold fight scene with all the vampires. I'm glad to see Helga back - I don't think she's been in a story lately (I could be wrong; I'm not entirely sure). Like I said though, pretty good chapter.
So, interesting new way to create a killer. Poor sod. Also it's interesting to see that Logan is finally coming to terms with being an avatar.
I couldn't help but reading the other reviews - they're usually as interesting as the stories themselves. One called you nihilistic, and they're right in a way. It just keeps going on and an, with no end in sight, be it the Org or the demon mob. There shall never be a happy ending, because life doesn't really know those. It kind of bugs me, because if I'm writing, I have to keep coming up with endings.
And I like Brendan. I also like that he has the issues he has (sorry Doza), because without them, he wouldn't be interesting at all. And then one would have to kill him, because he didn't serve a point anymore. Besides, one can really perform with shit like that going on in their lifes - I should have, by any rights, flunked several exams, but I didn't. It's the adrenaline or something.
You have this knack of writing fight scenes and making them not-samey. One of the major failings of fan-fictioneers is lack of imagination. When this is coupled with derivative fiction it becomes a big yawn. It's why I like your writing so much - it's impossible to fall asleep reading your stuff.
Another good edge-of-seat chappie with a nice little cliff hanger - well okay, he's probably gonna get out of this one but what the hey? It's still the goods, right?
Anyways, this was an excellent chapter. I loved each and every line. From the first part where they had to choose which radio station they were going to listen to (which I thought was bloody hilarious), to the first appearance of Sylvia the Gargoyle (interesting new character), to the weird sisters making their entrance at the studio (hehe). And if Kier did betray Brendan, I would not be surprised at all. After all, he is a vampire without a soul and therefore without conscience. They are not supposed to be nice, no matter what Brendan may want to believe.
I have to admit, the Angel part in this chapter was a hell lot more interesting that the Logan part. Logan part was interesting, but a little dull (sorry). I mean, we just saw another display of the awesomeness that is Bob (man, I can’t believe awesomeness is actually a word on dictionary). Anyways, only thing that peaked my interest about the part was that Logan believed that there was a way to deal with the guy Bob-Style. I personally can’t wait to see what Bob has in mind.
Getting back to Angel, looks like Brendan’s gotten himself in another fix he can’t quite get out of unscathed. Personally, the way he has been acting recently, if he took one for the team, I’ll admit to you right away I might not miss his character that much. Dude has issues… too many of them to work properly with Angel and be focused. Don’t get me wrong I like the kid and all but he’s been whining about everything from the beginning of this fic and well, there’s only so much whining we could take.
Well, another great chapter. Take care of yourself and keep up the good work.
You know, I have browsed for years. I have read many genres. I read avidly off the net as well. In large quantities.
But you, Notmanos, have truly done superbly.
I went through some exceptionally tough times, of late, and waking up to the hope that you had depositted another nihilistic gem onto these hallowed pages was one of the few things that kept me going...
Keep up the good work, please.
And if you ever decide to start writing professionally, drop me a line. I will do what I can to help.
The return on the weird sisters. Hehe. Oh man… I think they are probably your second best creation after Bob. I love them. They are so scary and yet you can’t just help but love them. They remind me of the three surviving sisters of the Stepford Cookoos, only like a much scarier version of them. Hehe. Anyways, that first part was pretty interesting. With Bren hitting Angel and Angel simply rubbing his jaw and grumbling about whether that was necessary or not. I swear man, your take on Angel is so on the spot sometimes, and I have to wonder if you were ever a writer for the show or not. Hehe.
Oh and finally, looks as though Logan is finally walking in the shoes of a Powers. I personally can’t wait to see what he is going to do? Talking about Gods in the Marvel universe, any plans on bringing in other avatars such as Juggernaut, avatar of the God Cyttorak. Or Spider-Man, avatar of the ancient Spider God, protector of reality. Or even Captain Britain, defender of the British Isles.
Well, whichever direction you may go, you know we’ll all follow. Take care. Later.
woah. dude.. great fight scene. loved it. especially logan going berserk. and man.. that bob powers. i swear man.. you've gotta let me work with bob one day in a fanfic of my own. i think he'e the best original character on fanfic. you should send a few of the stories to cbffa (Comic Book Fan Fiction Awards). i think you can get the nomination for best Orifinal Character at the very least. oh.. and loved the last part. i know Brendan just punched Angel, but i think Brenden is going to find out that it was not the best thing to do on the planet. howver, knowing angel, he might ave just wanted brenden to hit him. let him take out his frustrations on angel. take care. later.
