Tyop: the strength to become cods

I'm not crazy about chapter 2 so far, but Ally is talking to me. That's what drafts are for.

I also realized that the tragic romance of this book is not tragic for the reasons I thought it was. Silly characters.

I'm only human--well, most of the time

Golden Army is not without sequelitis flaws, namely stopping too often to show off the pretty (which, yeah, is fucking pretty--del Toro has never failed me aesthetically), and some relationship stuff that was not as cute as someone clearly found it, nor actually cute at all. But it also has my celebrity boyfriend in red latex, Doug Jones doing his own vocal work, and Luke Goss looking hot in makeup and daddy issues and apocalyptic urges. (I will write a book just to cast Luke Goss and his hot makeup and daddy issues and apocalyptic urges. And I'll give him the apocalypse.) And I think GA made all the important choices correctly. Except not giving Luke Goss his apocalypse, of course.

I'm especially glad they ditched Myers and his role as Joe Everyman-Monster-Filter. The initial critter-fight made it pretty clear what happens to Joe Everymen when they go against monsters.
