I read LIGHT in undergrad, which was a renaissance of SF reading for me, thanks to SF/F-focused classes and mentorship from friends who were in graduate programs.
To me, LIGHT was fairly well a revelation. I’d never read a Space Opera that had that much of a literary fiction bent to it, and the ways that the leads shied away from/defied traditional Protagonist-y Likeability was an exciting challenge as a reader.
Like Cat, I now find myself wanting to go back and re-read it, since I am, like many, in a very different place than I was then.
On Marvels – I too have a hearty love for Marvels, not just for Alex Ross art, but as an introductory text for the Marvel universe and an exemplar of storytelling in the graphic novel form.
On RED – I ditto Seanan, and Bear’s notes about the romance. I admit that I have nothing more substantive to add than that.
