Skylanders Universe The Mask of Power #3: Lightning Rod Faces the Cyclops Queen
With the storms around last night when I recorded this video, I wound up sitting down and reading the entire book...It didn't take long and I made no stops, lol. I think this has been my favorite thus far, with #1 just behind it. I don't intend to give you a recap as that would spoil the book for you. I will tell you this...Lighting Rod is the featured Skylander, but there are pretty prominent roles for Drobot, Double Trouble, and Pop Fizz.
My favorite part is actually getting to tie the traits and personalities of the Skylanders in with what I know from the game. I have to say, thus far, each has been on par with what I would expect.
For Flynn lovers, fear not, he also plays a key role in the book, as does Cali.
If you are a big time fan of Skylanders Giants (the video game that is), you will enjoy picking up some info on The Drow, Cyclopses, and more specifically King Pipsqueak (Cyclops) and Brock, as well of course as the Cyclops Queen.
You can probably land this for right around $5 in the right circumstances and if you prefer to shop local, I'd venture to guess any book store that doesn't have it, can get it in for you. I just went with Amazon since there were some other things I wanted and had a few books on tap for my Nephew. If you do go with Amazon any time soon, please make note that you can pick up the PowerA Stackable Tackle Box (in SWAP Force trim) for $11.99!! That is a great deal and will help you hit that magical $35 threshold for FREE SUPER SAVER SHIPPING, even if it does take longer to process, lol.
If you are unfamiliar with the series I highly recommend it. The books are around 140 pages, feature fairly large font, have regular illustrations, and are a quick read for adults and something kids will enjoy a few times over. At the price point, they are hard to beat.
I will also tell you that #4 is Terrafin Battles the Boom Brothers and it will likely become my personal favorite, lol. Despite it being "out" it is not listed with a release date, or available at other retailers...I think it will come later. Again, main reason for this post and video is to simply let you know Book #3 is available now and to inform you of this pretty cool series if you were still unaware of it.
