I like The Dark World. It was flawed in a lot of aspects, but it was enjoyable.
Guardians was superb, but Winter Soldier is still tops for me. Hard to compare the two, though.
As far as this one goes, we briefly touched on it early in the episode, but the entire movie is infinitely more amusing if you imagine a gigantic loud-ass bird SQUAWKING every time the Guardian is on screen.
I started sending query letters last night and I'm going to continue to when I get home. It's hard for me to send a sample of my work because no one will take attachments in emails and the formatting causes everything to be wonky in the email.
Sorry I accidentally deleted your changes to the Monty Beetle page, Will. Apparently, I was editing while you were and when I stopped for thirty minutes and came back, my edits got rid of yours. I added the stuff you had back in.
