Marvel Heroic Roleplaying: Annihilation Event Book (Essentials Edition)
Publisher: Margaret Weis Productions

This gives a very nice summary of the event, and great writeups for the cosmic genre. As somebody who hasn't read the comics I've gotten a good feel for what's going on.

There is one problem: this book is chock full of "See page ANXX" errors - there's at least one every couple of pages!

ANXX errors are being fixed! This was only an issue for the Essentials book, but it's one we're addressing shortly (along with a few other errors that slid by our crack team of proofreaders.) Thanks!

ICONS: Hero Pack 3

A great selection of characters. While there are no stats for the Galactus-like dude on the cover that I could see, that doesn't detract from the usefulness at all. I thought all the characters had great write-ups - just enough to give a good feel for how to play, without so much detail that we can't make them our own.

I have to give props to Dan Houser here on the art - he said he was going for Kirby, and he did it. The art is recognizable as the ICONS style, but the Kirby "inspiration" comes through loud and clear, in the character costume design, the features (particularly the faces, Dan got the Kirby face perfectly) and the various character poses. Great work!

The Sentinels
Publisher: Green Ronin Publishing

The M&M3 stuff I've seen come out so far has been quite good - interesting characters, great art and great plot hooks. This team looks like it's going to be quite interesting to read about as well, we've already seen their stats, so it's nice to see their backgrounds as well.

However, there's something not quite right here. The description says it includes writeups for the entire team, but the download only includes one character, Dragoneye. That writeup is good, but it's not what was promised - the entire team. As such I have to give it a bad rating.

The writeup for Dragoneye is itself quite good, and I would give it a much better rating if the entire team was included or if the download was labelled as "Dragoneye" rather than "the Sentinels."

[Update after having gone back to the page]

So apparently the issue is that each file was uploaded individually, but when you hit the "Get it now" button, you only get the first one. Seems the issue is a combination of RPGNow's code and an odd choice on Green Ronin's part. It would have been much easier and less confusing to just zip the files together into a single download.

Increasing my rating, but still knocking it down due to the download experience.
