Sandman: Overture 30th Anniversary Edition
Neil Gaiman
@Felicious1908 @SweetAmphitrite @BritishGQ I first met Neil Gaiman in 1991. I was 14, working a local con. SANDMAN was huge and Gaiman was a big get, but my parents didn't let me read it yet, because it was "For Mature Readers Only." At the Con, he read from an unfinished piece that would eventually be CORALINE. 1/

Hope: In a Lost and Fallen World
Guy A. Only
@MaximeBeaulieu2 @starwars A lot of you are making fun of this guy, but the thing you need to understand is *he's only seen EPISODE ONE* and he's pretty sure this is what happens next: ATTACK OF THE CLONES - Demons or something! REVENGE OF THE SITH - Anakin dies for our sins! A NEW HOPE - Good news! 1/2

Loki: Mistress of Mischief
J. Michael Straczynski
@ScarletMature Except Jason Aaron's MIGHTY THOR run is great, and Storm has lifted Mjolnir once in 50 years (for about four panels). Note the hammer she's holding in the page you've attached isn't Mjolnor, doesn't rely on worthiness to lift, and mostly brainwashes her to serve Loki.

Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet
Douglas Adams
Now, you can't crack a joke in a sci-fi novel these days without the Goddaddy of funny sci-fi, Douglas Adams. If you enjoy DOCTOR WHO or GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY or EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE or, indeed, HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, you might enjoy some of these:

Punisher: Return to Big Nothing
Steven Grant
@driiftyfilm In the history of Marvel Comics, less than 1 in every 1000 of their comics have been labeled Mature Readers Only. (The comics industry equivalent of an R rating.) Of the hundreds/thousands of Deadpool and Punisher comics, only a handful have ever been Mature Readers Only.

Percival Gynt and the Conspiracy of Days
Drew Melbourne
Here's one more review of my novel PERCIVAL GYNT AND THE CONSPIRACY OF DAYS to close out the #SPSFC semifinals. @St_EdPool's reviews are always a fun read, and I feel comfortable saying that if you enjoy this review, you'll enjoy PGatCoD too! https://t.co/DFBlrBuwQo

The Adventures of Scuba Jack: Saves the Universe!
Beth Costanzo
HE'LL SAVE THE UNIVERSE. OR DAMN US ALL. OR MAYBE BOTH. Less than 48 hours left to pick up a free Kindle copy of CONSPIRACY OF DAYS, the SF/F novel that Kirkus calls "equal parts goofiness and grandeur" and PW calls "postmodern Douglas Adams." https://t.co/puW2DhcekQ
