I can't recall whether I wrote about Slater's book. It's a compilation of essays based on interviews and research into famous psych experiments of the 20th century. Eventually I decided that all psych people are crazy. Then I revised me opinion: everyone is crazy, but psych people don't hide it as well.
I presume that I picked up _The Enthusiast_ based on someone's recommendation, and they done steered me wrong. Although there are plenty of opportunities to make this book interesting, Haas carefully steers away from all of them. This might be worth picking up as an exemplar of missing the good bits in order to commit literary fiction.
This entry in _The Authority_ proves that it is possible to completely mess up characterization and dialog at the same time as you recycle plots that have already been done in the same series.
This attempt to reboot _Stormwatch_ proves that it is possible to completely mess up established characterization with clunky dialog and flat plots.
This section of the WildCATS series proves that even Alan Moore can phone it in. I'm pretty sure I saw most of this done previously in X-Men and Ben-Hur, with the Shi'Ar Empire and the Roman Empire being combined into the Kheran Empire.
