Just got back from various stops, bearing plenty of fun stuff. First on the list is Under the Skin, a Sci-Fi Thriller with Scarlett Johansson:
An alien entity inhabits the earthly form of a seductive young woman who combs the Scottish highways in search of the human prey it is here to plunder. It lures its isolated and forsaken male victims into an otherworldly dimension where they are stripped and consumed. But life in all its complexity starts to change the alien. It begins to see itself as "she," as human, with tragic and terrifying consequences. Under the Skin is about seeing ourselves through alien eyes.
In addition, there's Pandemic; a cooperative table top game for two to four players where you and your team race against time to save the inhabitants of Earth from deadly disease that threaten to wipe it out. The Martian, Andy Weir's debut novel, in which a team becomes the first humans to walk on Mars, only to have a freak accident force five of the six team members to evacuate and leave behind our protagonist, Mark Watney, believing him lost. He must use the scant equipment and his wits to survive long enough to be rescued.
On the comic book front, we've got Green Arrow #29-32, She-Hulk #6, and Rat Queens #7. Bookmark the site and make sure to check back in for reviews of many of these.
