Upcoming BL Stuff 2025

Unpopular cover font aside (I personally don’t hate it), Blades of Atrocity was a very solid short which gave Rassaq, our main character, some very compelling motivation. Excited for this one, even though ADB’s Night Lords are going be a very tough act to follow!

The font would work if they made the rest of the cover look like a piece of armour. It just doesnt work on this cover, and kind of makes it look like a book aimed at teens.

 

Book covers that look like armour could be cool. Especially if it was designed to look like a Marine Pauldron.

If Tomb World’s anything like Beer’s previous works it should be a delight.

Can anybody remind me why THIS Night Lords novel isn't part of the Renegades series, when it followed pretty much the same pattern as Harrowmaster and Lord of Excess, first introducing the character via shorts and then putting out a character-focused novel? I swear, they forget their own series and imprints more often than they remember them....

Most likely cause the series are a marketing ploy. And none of them except the HH have ever worked. 

 

The fact that they choose such broad and meaningless themes doesnt help matters.

Questionable cover art/font aside (Krakenblood is fine), it seems like a pretty decent spread of books to release between now and 43 years from now. Probably will pick up all three at some point, but I do feel bad in advance for Vincent with all of the Talos book comparisons he's going to see

This new art director needs to be fired. Are they using font/design that was rejected 20 years as too edgy, thinking it might work now?

 

Excited for another Beer's book, and that's about it

WarCom articles do be the kinda stuff that Abominable Intelligence would excel at, assuming they're not being made by bots already.

Beer continuing to get novels is an absolute win. I love his take on all things technological so he should be a great fit for a Necron focus.

 

As with any debut novel, I'm curious about the Night Lords book. If it's even half as good as any of its predecessors, it'll still be awesome. 

 

Space Wolves are a skip unless it looks like it's doing something interesting. Krakendoom doesn't meet this criteria, at a glance, and while I find Collins solid enough he's not an author that would make me check out a book just because his name's on it.

Pretty much meh, if you are not into Space Wolves, Necrons or Chaos Space Marines

We've had enough Astra Militarum and Sisters of Battle books to throw a Blackstone Fortress at lately, I'm just glad it's something different

[Urauloth]

I feel like Collins has wanted to write about Space Wolves all along, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I don't find Necrons very interesting personally, but Beer has been impressive enough that I want to check Tomb World out as well.
