Shame its not a hardback this time round, but still, it looks to be a very very handy bit of essential reading for any scythe fan!
Certainly is, gathers a lot of the textural pieces into one place which adds backstory and ongoing fiction to characters we follow. One story, Reclamation, was only available in a limited special issue release. Took me ages to track a copy down! :D
Is that Daedalus in written format instead of as an audio drama?
Hey man! :D
Indeed it does, its there, listed second from the bottom. ;)
Thanks for dropping in!
