I am now reading the comics of Firebreather but I remember really enjoying the cartoon movie when I was a teenager. I was 18 when it came on Cartoon Network. I wish they'd remake something like this with modern animation instead of yet another Harry Potter thingamajig. Duncan's father being a kaiju (dragon if you ask me) and Belloq wanting his son to kill so as to succeed him is the same premise as Nolan and Mark in Invincible, except for a firebreathing monster, Belloq is a better father than Nolan. At least Belloq didn't use Duncan's face to fight a train. Anyway, are there more sff propert ..read more

With an intriguing and rich setting, we will be following Ex, a phi hunter who is obsessed with taking down the legendary demon Shar-Ala, in a story that will not be shy of well written action scenes (I absolutely loved the Monster Hunter feeling of those) and ..read more

For me Rairya Revelations is at the top particularly because of how different Royce and Hadrian are from each other yet still manage to be an effective team and have total faith in each other's abilities. submitted by /u/VladtheImpaler21 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've been thinking a lot about Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and how well it transported me to Faerie. I want more recommendations of books which have fairyland or its versions established as well-developed places, if mythical, and not accounts of the fair folk popping into our world and visiting us. submitted by /u/marzipants02 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello I'm looking for books, novels or comics where each nation, kingdom, country, etc. Have a unique war style. Kingdoms dominated by necromancers who reinforce their armies with undead, merchant republics that favor gunpowder and naval combat, hordes of barbarians with tamed beast, etc. I really hope something similar exist. Thanks for your attention and any help. submitted by /u/Sep1231 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello my fellow SFF readers. I typically dislike these heavily specific fantasy recommendation request posts but here I am so I guess I’m a hypocrite. Regardless, I am about to gorge on books that tackle mental health but I want to ask what I should read after that. Currently my favorite books that handle these topics are Stormlight, Robin Hobb, Sun Eater, Berserk, and Eleventh Cycle. I am going to start Of Darkness and Light soon and I am currently reading The Lies of Locke Lamora which isn’t really scratching my itch for a deep look at something like depression or PTSD or another form of Me ..read more

I know Book of the New Sun is frequently mentioned as arguably his greatest achievement, but I think his invention of the Pringles potato chip machine should at least get an honorable mention submitted by /u/Sensitive_Mulberry30 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

New here, sorry if this topic has been done 1000 times before. I'm very interested in reading books based off of Dungeons and Dragons, but there are SO many I have no idea where to start. RA Salvatore has alone wrote I don't even know how many, I have no idea where to start or what the best ones are. I know the people who wrote Dragonlance (can't remember their names off the top of my head) have written a bunch too, but again, they've written SO much it's hard to know where to even begin (unless people genuinely recommend beginning at book 1 and just reading them all lol) So, what are your fa ..read more
