Het paleis van de sterrenwachter - Violet MollerHet einde van de zestiende eeuw was een tijd met veel vrijheid in de zoektocht naar kennis. In deze periode was het nog tamelijk gebruikelijk om magie naast meetkunde te bestuderen, om een gerespecteerd arts te zijn die op zoek was naar de steen der wijzen, een wiskundige die engelen consulteerde, of een astronoom die zijn bevindingen in verzen presenteerde. In de traditionele wetenschapsgeschiedenis wordt deze periode vaak over het hoofd gezien,

Het einde van de zestiende eeuw was een tijd met veel vrijheid in de zoektocht naar kennis. In deze periode was het nog tamelijk gebruikelijk om magie naast meetkunde te bestuderen, om een gerespecteerd arts te zijn die op zoek was naar de steen der wijzen, een wiskundige die engelen consulteerde, of een astronoom die zijn bevindingen in verzen presenteerde. In de traditionele wetenschapsgeschiedenis wordt deze periode vaak over het hoofd gezien, omdat die niet past in het lineaire verhaal van de wetenschappelijke vooruitgang tot aan de verlichting. Het paleis van de sterrenwachter onthult deze vergeten wereld aan het einde van de zestiende eeuw met de wetenschappers als stralend middelpunt. De lezer wordt mee terug in de tijd genomen en bezoekt de geleerden op zeven onderzoekslocaties – van het ijskoude observatorium van Tycho Brahe in Denemarken tot aan het rokerige en naar zwavel ruikende laboratorium van John Dee –, leest hun brieven, ontmoet de families en leert over hun dromen. Op deze manier onderzoekt Violet Moller een rijke, multidisciplinaire cultuur en onthult ze een oogverblindende, aan de tijd verloren wereld, waar alle kennis, hoe mysterieus ook, de moeite waard was om na te streven.

This comic is just... wow. There just isn't anything bad about it except that the rest of the series is hard to find on Amazon. For now at least...

Solid "Star Wars"-ing.
Format: Paperback
“Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku” is a three-part, 12-issue comic series, comprised of a trio of individual miniseries that form one collective trilogy-of-sorts, and details the war between New Republic/Imperial forces in the weeks and months following the events of “Return of the Jedi.” Writer Alex Segura – who previously penned the underrated "Free Fall" – does a good job of telling a single, satisfying story that ALSO tees up his upcoming relaunch of the mainline “Star Wars” series in May. What also makes “The Battle of Jakku” a pleasure to read – particularly if you’re a diehard “Star Wars” fan - are the various Easter eggs and cross-franchise connections it makes to other entries in the series, including “Battlefront II,” Greg Rucka’s "Shattered Empire," and even Chuck Wendig's “Aftermath” trilogy. Watching this specific era of the “Star Wars” timeline be filled out and expanded within the larger media has been one of the more satisfying and consistently enjoyable aspects of the “Star Wars” property these last 10 years, and Segura – as is his want – does yeoman’s work in effectively putting a final bow on it. All in all, pretty darn good “Star Wars”-ing.

All this talk of Jakku and not a single worthwhile image of it.
Format: Paperback
This was a total disorganized mess that bears no resemblance to Star Wars at all. The art is puerile at best and some characters bear a passing resemblance to Luke and Leia. The dialogue is nonsense and reads nothing like the characters would speak. The plot is a ridiculous compilation of double crosses that make no sense at all. The Imperials don’t act like Imperials and the endless plethora of new characters and planets make for an exhausting and tedious read. Finally, the story doesn’t really mesh with that other ridiculous trilogy of books by Chuck Wendig. Real Star Wars writers were needed like James Luceno or Timothy Zahn. I wouldn’t recommend this to my worst enemy. Life is short. Stick to writers with a proven track record and stories that reflect Lucas’ vision not the Disney disorder. Oh for the days when Dark Horse told exciting tales and had great artists. Marvel seems to be just interested in squeezing money out of the name and not creating a meaningful legacy.

Absolute Slop
Format: Paperback
This is likely the worst Star Wars graphic novel/story in the history of the medium. Absolute slop.
