    So... Book of the Machine what is it?

    I figured that I'd at least find a writeup on it here, even the news has it in different coloring, but no linkable stuff. Is this the cyberpunk book we've been looking for for 5th? So I'm just wondering. Thanks.
    if the Norse say that Fenris is a Dark hued wolf, then where are the Wolves of Winter?

    No. Book Of The Machine is an enemies book detailing the Champions Villain Mechanon.

    Here's the description of the book from the previously-posted 2009 release schedule:

    Tentative Release Date: Early 2009
    Essentially, BOTM will detail Mechanon the way Book Of The Destroyer detailed Dr. Destroyer.

    This forum thread was started by Steve Long to solicit input from fans as to what they would want to see in BOTM. Note that only posts by Steve on the subject can be considered definitive; there's no guarantee that any suggestions by the rest of us will make it into the final product.

    Right on, thanks. I'm not sure how long ago I rep-ed you, but I've apparently got to spread it around some, but note that I'll get ya when I can (and hopefully remember if it's a while).

    I've been on and off the boards lately, but I'm planning on coming back a bit this year.

    What about a Book of Vhan, covering Isthvatha Vhan?
    Or a Book of the Kings, covering the Crowns of Krim?
    A Book of Justice, covering the Justice Squadron, would be pretty cool, too.
    It is unclear why the bear, which was wearing ice skates at the time, attacked Mr Potapov. The bear was later shot by police. Deadly attacks are rare in the country's circuses, which often train bears to wear skates and play ice hockey.

    Let's not start clogging up the board here too much. I'll start a thread on BotM when it's in print (as usual), and if you'd like to comment on or suggest books about other villains, please post in the Champions or Company Questions fora. Thank you, and don't forget to write.
