Infinity #1 Variant Cover

I adore how Skottie Young creates a totally credible little in medias res universe on every baby cover.

Man’s a genius, and brother, does he ever get the reason we love comics.

You can’t tell but, this thing is, like, three feet high.

It scares the shit out of me, and it’s one of my favorite things she’s ever done.

I only know two Eleanor’s, and they’re both on the internet. One is a cat. The other made this.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ THE ABHORSEN CHRONICLES:

• BADASS FEMALE PROTAGONISTS: from Sabriel the prefect of an all-girls school to Lirael a shy librarian both of whom turn into duty-bound zombie killing soldier priests who rescue princes and battle necromancers and fight against what is effectively a trapped god, you can keep your Hermione’s and Katniss Everdeen’s thanx (and can we just talk about how the girls in the school TOTALLY JUMP INTO HELP THE SOLDIERS AGAINST KERRIGOR DESPITE KNOWING THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE??)
• INCREDIBLE WORLD BUILDING: set in two neighbouring kingdoms - one resembling 1930’s britain the other a medieval fantasy realm that’s fallen into anarchy  plagued by Death NOT TO MENTION the world-weary soldiers manning the wall who are sick of your necromantic bullshit
• TALKING ANIMAL COMPANIONS: not as cheesy as you think, since one is a sarcastic cat spirit who is scary as fuck when his true form is revealed and the other a wizened grandmotherly-like dog who rips out undead throats
• COOL MAGIC: though it’s complicated it isn’t once confusing and you can’t beat dual sword-and-bell wielding, bells that can land you into death modeled after the Egyptian afterlife
• GREAT CHARACTERS AND DEVELOPMENT: all the characters are forced to carry a duty and some succeed whilst others don’t but that’s okay because being born into a society doesn’t necessarily mean you belong there
• GOOD ROMANCE: it’s subtle and forged out of friendship and trust and doesn’t define any of the characters or control any of the events in the story
• NEW BOOKS COMING SOON: including Clariel which is a prequel based on Chlorr of the Mask WHO WAS AN ABHORSEN WHO TURNED EVIL!! like how awesome does that sound give me all the downward spirals for female necromancers AND there’s apparently going to be a sequel to the series too!!
• POSSIBLE FILM IN THE MAKING: which means if you wanna get on that fandom first get on it now
• IT’S JUST REALLY GREAT?? despite it being marketed as a YA book it’s still riveting and mature enough for older audiences (I think I might appreciate it more now that I’m older tbh) just UNF

Sabriel is quite possibly one of the best books I have ever ever read.

And I have a read a damn lot of books in my life.

I didn’t realize there was a new one coming out; that’s marvelous!

I still need to find a hardcover copy of Sabriel that matches my others. The paperback just will not do. The books I love most must be in hardcover.

YES GOOD

1) I need to reread this.

2) Yay for another book!

3) If they do make a movie, I hope it’s great. I loved the His Dark Materials books, but The Golden Compass movie just made me sad. DO BETTER THAN THAT.
