Reddit reviews The Amory Wars: The Second Stage Turbine Blade

Honestly, just in order of release! It's interesting to see the music journey they went on and how they got to where they are now. I wish I could be where you are now hearing all these things for the first time.

I can't really comment much on the story, but what I did was get a copy of the SSTB Book and a copy of the IKSSE:3 Book (keep in mind you might want to wait until this one is rereleased, like the SSTB Book was recently, hence why it's much cheaper). I just read those and got a subscription to the Good Apollo 1 comics which are currently being released. As far as the Afterman and YotBR books go, it's worth getting the physical copy of Afterman for the art alone, and there was a smaller CD version that has the book with it, and YotBR had a physical release... Buuut if you have a kindle it's worth getting the e version to save your wallet from becoming significantly lighter.

After you've listened to the albums, go onto YouTube and watch every live video you can find and then fall in love with Coheed all over again. Seriously. Delirium Trigger is a great song, but once you hear the live version, it becomes an amazing one. I highly recommend a good binge session for the Neverender live videos, and the Starland Ballroom videos are great, too.

Once you've become a bit more familiar with the music, watch this. It will blow your mind and catapult you further into the love of this band. It did with me, at least.

For all of the Amory Wars, the order goes

-The Afterman: Ascension and Descension coffee table book, comes with the Afterman Amory Award edition box set but is pretty expensive if you happen to find one on eBay. I think I paid $125 for the entire box set.

-The Year of the Black Rainbow novel by Sanchez and Peter David. Included in the YOTBR box set and is also quite expensive, but you can buy an eBook of it for like $10.

-The Second Stage Turbine Blade collection. You can find it here for about $30.

-In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 collection. Also here for about $30.

-Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness comics. No deluxe collection exists yet but they just finished the chapter with issue #12.

-Pre Production has started for the comics for Good Apollo Vol 2: No World For Tomorrow but no comics have been released of course

-Vaxis Act 1: The Unheavenly Creatures novella released with the box set.


Of course if you just want to read the comics, start with SSTB and go from there.

Good Apollo is still being published now. I'm personally waiting for the Ultimate Edition to come out to get into this one.

I like to pick up trade paperbacks of comic book series sometimes. Descender has been a sci-fi one that I've really like, with a cool combination of art and story. And I recently finished the first volume of Monstress that was a fun twist on the usual magic and fantasy genre. My favorite band, Coheed and Cambria has a lead singer/song writer that writes a comic book series and then makes music to help tell his story. His series is called The Amory Wars.

Do you have any favorites that you'd recommend? I'm open to any genres.

What type of stories do you like to write for your comic books?

Okay I just found this on Amazon! I placed my order for it and the total was $43.89. Release date says August 15th, 2017.

Also, Boom Studios updated their listing and it now says "Awaiting new printing. Actual release date to be determined.".

The listed price is about half of the price on Amazon but you can't buy yet. I am definitely making this a bookmark and checking every day.

That should hopefully be the Second Stage Turbine Blade Complete Set of comics. They are considered the first part in the story for the comics, seeing as Year of the Black Rainbow only has the novel and Afterman the coffee table booklet thing. Those you'll be hard pressed to find physically.

Coheed's story is one that spans all of their albums except, I believe, Year of the Black Rainbow. The story is based on Claudio's comic called The Amory Wars. The lead characters, early on at least, are Coheed, Cambria, and their son Claudio. It's very twisted and violent, especially the first comics. You can buy the ultimate editions here.

Check these out too: SSTB, IKSSE:3.

YOTBR ebook on amazon too but as an ebook.

coheed and cambria has an absolutely mind blowing story that runs through their albums, and they have accompanying graphic novels that are great too.
