Hand Made in England

Itz A Stitch

The Links is a private club in New York City. It is located at 36 East 62nd Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Charles B. Macdonald, a golf champion and founder of the United States Golf Association, started the Links in 1917 as a place where powerful members of the golf world could keep the true spirit of the game alive.

History

The club was established in 1916-1917 by Charles B. Macdonald, in a building designed in the Georgian Revival architectural style by Cross & Cross. In the 1960s, it was "a preferred social gathering spot for America's most powerful chief executives." By 2010, it was still a "preserve of the old banking elite", but not all members were WASPs.

Gothic Star Wars
Format: Paperback
This trade paperback collects all the issues for the Screaming Citadel story spread over several titles, including the main stay Star Wars series and the Dr Aphra book. As one might expect from a story spread over different titles with different artists and writers, the presentation varies. The art is all over the place. In the Marco Checchetto-drawn initial issue, everyone’s favorite amoral artifact hunter, Dr Aphra, is a striking space vixen. But in the following issues she’s hardly recognizable as the same character--mousier, if still menacing, in her trademark Russian tanker’s hat. To a lesser degree, the same is true for the other characters, including the main SW group. It’s understandable, but a bit disconcerting. The story centers on Dr Aphra, who, in need of a Jedi for one of her typically nefarious purposes, recruits Luke into her scheme. Unfortunately for Aphra, she’s up against a more ruthless foe in the harlequin-looking vampire-like Queen of the Screaming Citadel. Before long, the rest of the group has to show up to rescue them. It’s a gothic story, set in scary castle—not the usual Star Wars fare. There are some good points. Dr Aphra’s almost sociopathic outlook is always good for a few choice lines, the “murderous machines” Bee Tee and Triple Zero are on hand for their own gruesome commentary and some of the Queens hench-people, while not given much to do, are interestingly designed. But overall, the horror movies plotline didn’t seem much like Star Wars to me. Recommended for those who enjoy that type of story, or completists.

Luke and Doctor Aphra team up!
Format: Paperback
This is the second crossover event in the Marvel Star Wars comics. It brings the ongoing Doctor Aphra and Star Wars series together. I liked the pairing of Luke with Aphra. They play well off of each other with Luke's naive goodness and Aphra's experienced gray morality. I liked when she called him a wannabe padawan. There are some well designed characters in this comic. The residents of the Screaming Citadel have a goth bdsm vibe. Luke even gets to dress up. I liked seeing him in something different. I want to know more about Sana and Aphra's past!!! Please, Marvel, make a queer love story prequel!!! The murder droids are wonderful. Having them on the same side as the "good guys" for at least the time being led to some funny situations. The last panel intrigued me. I give this graphic novel a 4/5. I am always here for more Doctor Aphra!

A Tragic Victory
Format: Paperback
The book arrived within 3 days and was bundled with other miscellaneous items I purchased so no problem there. The book was also in mint condition with no damage what so ever. In my typical graphic novel fashion I picked up this book and did a quick read through. I typically focus on the importance of the literary merit of a graphic novel first and this book has the story telling of the burdened hero theme nailed. Not to spoil any key plot points but Tony's/Iron Man's burdens and actions impress and startle and had me on the edge of my seat the entire read. The part in which intrigued me the most was when Iron Man and Thor had a chance meeting at an untypical setting. This helped set up the scene especially for me since I have not been reading graphic novels by marvel lately and have been out of the loop. But this scene helped give tone to the bad blood between Tony Stark Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers such as Thor, to which I presume are directly influenced because of his actions in Civil War event. The events at the epilogue with Spider-Man further enforce the bad blood theme that occurred in the events of Civil War when registered superhero vigilante's were pitted against unregistered superhero vigilante's (Iron Man was the one who lead the registered against the unregistered). If you are just now jumping on like me some further wiki investigation/research may be required but all together it is fairly easy to get caught up to this point in Stark's timeline. It was a great read and I recommend that you purchase the Invincible Iron Man "omnibus" vol. 1 that collects Vol's 1, 2, and 3 of invincible Iron Man Like I plan on doing along with Invincible Iron Man "omnibus" vol. 2.

Pretty Good
Format: Paperback
This was a pretty good story. Attempted to be deep; Tony's sense of responsibility for his tech, his people and the world around him. It came through alright but could have used more in-depth discriptions of Tony's "Five Nightmares". Also could have gone deeper into the mind of Ezekiel Stane; his grudge against Tony just didn't do it for me. This in sorta the way mainstream comics have gone today; not too wordy. But Matt Fraction brings puts it together well enough. He is one of my favorite writers in the business today. My one real problem was the art. No sir, I didn't like it. The faces, to be exact. All of the men were so dark (and this is coming from a Black guy) and inconsistant from frame to frame. But Pepper Potts and Maria Hill (who should have been darker) were fair complected. Just weird, for some reason. The final issue in the trade paper back actually brings the whole thing home and it has a amazing guest star. I say pick the book up. Especially if you're a fan of the movies and have never read a comic.
