Dan DillonHOST
Yeah, I've
I-Hsien SherwoodHOST
mostly read a bunch of Dan Abnett stuff.
I-Hsien SherwoodHOST
By no
Dan DillonHOST
means all of them.
Dan DillonHOST
Mostly Dan Abnett stuff, yes.
I-Hsien SherwoodHOST
Although I have not gotten into Horus Heresy because that's like a job.
I-Hsien SherwoodHOST
Too much.
RayHOST
Agreed.
GlennHOST
And then, yep, the third story was written by Dan Abnett and art by Kelsey Ramsey.
GlennHOST
What
speaker_2HOST
do you think of
speaker_0NARRATOR
Not all of these novels are great, but few are downright bad, and the top-tier entries are as good as any genre fiction being published today.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Dan Abnett has been the workhorse of Warhammer 40k fiction for more than 25 years, creating the terminology and basic concepts upon which the setting has been built.
speaker_0NARRATOR
If you're familiar with the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, he's like a more prolific Timothy Zahn.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Abnett's recent novel Hive is a frankly stunning portrait of a single densely populated hive city of billions of impoverished inhabitants tearing itself apart from the inside, and too consumed with its own conflicts to even investigate a looming menace approaching from the larger galaxy.
MichaelHOST
Yep.
MichaelHOST
You've got one that's a Hulk Hogan and one that's more of a Dan the Beast Severn.
MichaelHOST
I was going to go with a non-wrestling reference and say Magnum P.I.
MichaelHOST
Yes, definitely.
11 MINS LATER
CraigHOST
I mean, there will be other things.
CraigHOST
I'm sure there'll be like spotlights from every era and there'll be something, you know, like there'll be something going on.
CraigHOST
Dan Abnett might tie together the Abnett verse with Asmuth.
CraigHOST
For the 50th, I'm sure we'll be pulling out all the stops, but we will have to hunker down.
DavanHOST

DavanHOST
Oh, I shouldn't maybe be showing.
JonHOST
Okay, so let's find the connections to the Alpha Legion that were first brought up in Slaves of Darkness in 1988.
JonHOST
But in 2006, the Legion by Dan Abnett was the first mention that Alpha Legion actually has twin Primarch.
ScottHOST
That's a lot later than I would have thought.
JonHOST
Yeah, they're just, you know, they do have other things that we're going to go down here that are older.
14 MINS LATER
JonHOST
but.
JonHOST
And they're fucking good.
JonHOST
Yeah, Danny is really good.
JonHOST
I know.
TonyHOST
There's Alan Davis, writer and artist, with Matt Hollingsworth doing the colors.
TonyHOST
And then there's a Dan Abnett story with Kelsey Ramsey and Brittany Peer doing the colors.
TonyHOST
So there's just something about this era, and it really bothers me how the characters, it's almost like they don't exist, because Brian Braddock, I don't even know what he's going by these days, but he's not Captain Britain, and then Betsy, she's not Psylocke, She's supposed to be Captain Britain, but I feel like she's not even being, I don't even know where she's at now.
TonyHOST
And when we saw her recently, it just, it felt like such a departure from the character.
JamesHOST
Um, there's a bunch of news that came out of the New York City Comic Con, and, uh, there's gonna be a trilogy of Dark Sun comics.
JamesHOST
Uh, the official description says, "An unlikely team of anti-heroes fights for survival in the wasteland of Athas in the new trilogy of standalone graphic novels, Dungeons & Dragons Dark Sun." So the first volume will be written by Dan Abnett, uh, who's done Warhammer 40K stuff, and illustrated by Nil Venderel, uh, who did The Witcher.
JamesHOST
Uh, colored by Mattia, uh, Iacono, uh, Werewolf By Night, and lettered by Buddy Beaudry, The Flash, uh, with cover art by Jeff Stokely.
JamesHOST
And so yeah, the first one, it's coming out April 20th 27.

It's gonna be 56 pages, hardcover, and apparently you can order it now at, like, a friendly local game store, comic shops, um, local bookstores.
speaker_0HOST
That is so cool.
speaker_1HOST
When Marvel decided they wanted to radically expand their cosmic universe in 2008, writers like Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning didn't have to start with a blank page.
speaker_1HOST
They looked deep into the corporate archives, found this amazing, bizarre 1976 title with built-in cosmic lore, and repurposed it.
speaker_0HOST
They didn't have to invent a space team from scratch.
