I went to a co-worker's birthday party today and on the way home I passed by my local used book store and decided to buy a few books. The had two Indiana Jones books and I got the first book of the Shanara Chronicles. As an 80s baby I'm surprised I've never bought any Indiana Jones books before. Can anyone give any recommendations? I do have some of the comic books from the 80s. Not sure if they are still making comic books (and I doubt if they still are I'd want to read them).
Since Disney is going to make Indiana Jones 5 I guess it is only a matter of time before the articles saying "Indiana Jones was never that good to begin with" and of course I fully expect the torch to be passed to the female co-star. They should've given that series the James Bond treatment and just have a new actor play the role. If we weren't living in a time where the morons on social media have a meltdown when they see a white male lead then I think Cavill or Pratt would be great for the role.
If Disney ends up remaking the Star Wars OT (and considering what I heard about the Kenobi show, it does sound like they will push Leia to be the main star) I expect the same thing with articles gaslighting us about how horrible Star Wars was and how it was never that great.
But back to my original question, does anyone have any recommendations for Indiana Jones novels or Young Indiana Jones (yes, I loved the show but I guess I was the only one) novels?
Slightly on topic the Shanarra tv series is a guilty pleasure of mine in the so bad its fun category.
Like a lot of series the subversion is turned up in season 2 but its still watchable for a decent story, scenery chewing, overacting, Video Toaster CG, and renfaire quality costumes.
The first season was so utter shit. The fucking village with energy and raves. The second one was better imho with a decent story overall.
