*CAUTION*: Y THE LAST MAN SPOILER IN THE VIEWER MAIL

More Newsarama Sneak Reviews! We got an early look at Logan #1 written by Brian K. Vaughan. Lots of great stuff for Wolverine fans.

Raven #1 is another number one of a limited series we checked out this week. It goes deep into DC continuity.

On stands this week, Cable #1 is a Messiah Complex spin-off. Cable is traveling somewhere in time with an X-Baby trying to keep it safe from harm.

Then, in the speed round we’ve got Jack of Fables #20 (fun and truly funny), RASL #1 (from Jeff Smith the creator of Bone), All Star Batman & Robin #9 (a book Pete calls creepy), X-Men Legacy #208 (highly recommended and is a great jumping on point), and Crime Bible #5 (a fantastic book, well worth getting the TPB).

In our viewer mail, J Yo on the Pulp Secret forums asks what our favorite “holy crap” moment in comics was.

hi!
my teachers assigning a book review where you make up a book title and plots and settings, you all design.

So, any good ideas for this assignment? (particularly intriguing title!)

thx!

that would be nice……XD

Although I've spent three years of Latin as the best in my class, my whole class is so horrible that by our fourth year of Latin there is not a single one of us that can actually translate a sentence with anything more than guess-work. (and…new teacher + AP test means I need to get my sh** together).

I know most of the rules of grammar but only the basic outline rules (eg. I know of and can recognize the Subjunctive indirect statement, but not really what the case of the subject or the form of the verb inside is), and need a grammar review book with a good index in which I can quickly look up grammatical forms and their properties, translations, etc.

Currently I'm leaning toward buying A Latin Grammar by James Morwood because the Amazon reviews make it seem pretty stellar, but I thought I'd ask for some advice before doing so.

Please help me folks! For the love of Vergil…(and the proper translation of his Aeneid)

Honestly, I'd use Wheelock for this. However, at this point, it might be too late to add this to your study load, if school is starting next week. It is a shame that the student waited this long, but not impossible to overcome with a student who is committed and serious. The student can join an online study group and have someone to compare the process. http://www.ravendays.org/latin/lists/listindex.html

I think Morwood is too hard for a student to use alone.

The most important thing to remember when studying for the AP Latin exam is that you need to be able to analyze the Latin. Not only understand it, but write good analytical essays in English that refer to the Latin throughout the passage. THROUGHOUT the passage, meaning, a little from every sentence in the passage.

Also be sure you have read the whole Aeneid in translation, as that is part of what is expected, and you will be asked a question on the AP exam that refers to the book as a whole, even the parts that aren't on the syllabus as translation passages. It doesn't hurt to have read the Iliad and the Odyssey in translation, as well.

Added: There are about 1800 lines to translate. Be sure that you are doing at least 15 lines a night, or you won't have time to finish the syllabus. Prepare the passage before you get to class, and be able to translate the day's Latin without looking at your notes in class every day. Write down your questions and the tough parts, and don't spend too long on things you can't figure out. The first 49 lines or so are very hard, but the whole thing isn't that hard. Don't be discouraged with that. You can find the syllabus at www.collegeboard.com

Also, the exam expects you to be able to translate at sight, and they will give you passages that are from other authors, that you almost certainly never saw; Wheelock will help you with this.

Perseus has Allen and Greenough's grammar online in a searchable format. This will help you for questions as they come up. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0001&layout=&loc=&query=toc

You can also download a grammar book for free at www.textkit.com and search the file for forms.

Bonam fortunam!

170 days to go… The Narnia Pop-Up Book is now in stores. Here is my review.
CORRECTION: Narnialover101 suggested that in the SC pop-up, the kids are LEAVING the parliment, not arriving. That’s gotta be it.

UPDATE: Reepicheep is in fact on two pages. I somehow missed the VDT and LB flaps that fold out, and both include Reepicheep! Thanks to RiverNiad.

I have to do a book review in two different classes this semester. One is for Colonial Latin American History and one is for History of the Middle Ages. I've been scouring the library, but thought I'd ask for suggestions. The books can be fiction or non, but they must deal with the time periods covered in each class. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Already on that, greenthumb. I'm not looking for a way out of homework, just thought someone might know an interesting book I might not run into in my library.

Don't waste your time waiting for answers. Log off answers and the Google: 1. "Colonial Latin America" +history;
2. "History of the Middle Ages". You will find a multitude of good sources to research.

Hey everyone.
I've been perusing the endless questions about the World HIstory Exam and the best book for reviewing for the exam itself. Can anyone tell me the best book? I've heard Kaplan is good, PR is great, and Barrons is not so good relative to the other two, but I need a clear explanation as to why this is so.
Thanks

Personally, I had the Kaplan AP Review book, the Kaplan SAT II review book, and the Princeton Review AP Review book. I feel like the Kaplan and PR AP books complement each other but if you just got the SAT II, it reviews all the times perfectly. Even if you think that you shouldn't be using a SAT II review book for the AP Test, remember that the Collegeboard makes both the SAT II and the AP Questions. If I were you, I would just get both Kaplan books so you get more in-depth info and practice questions from the SAT II book and a review of time chunks, time chunk questions, and possible essays/dbq's from the AP book.
