Here's a series I've been meaning to revisit for a while now– Richard Starking's Elephantmen.  I'm actually working up my notes for a review of the latest issue, #23, but this entire series about genetically mutated animals, made to be the perfect soldiers, and then liberated and set free, has been such a wonderful blend [...]

This Kieron Gillen interview at Comics Alliance just makes me sad:

"We've done this wonderful thing we're crazy-proud about. But if the whole economic system was just a couple of degrees to the left, everything would have been different. I mean, just to give you an idea about narrow the margins are between what we are [...]

I picked up the American edition of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book a couple of weeks ago, at a Q&A session in Naperville, Il.  Honestly, I haven't been able to get through too many of Gaiman's novels.  American Gods is a fantastic book but I've struggled a bit with his other novels.  But after hearing [...]

Blackest Night #7
Flash Rebirth #6 — Two awaited Geoff Johns books this week.  It's been so long, I don't know if I really care to wait to see the end of Flash Rebirth but I've got the first 5 so what's one more?  This relaunch has had some cool moments but feels like it's [...]

Matt Wagner and Osamu Tezuka.  I can think of worst ways to spend the weekend.

Star Wars Legacy Vol 8 Tatooine TP–  I think I’ve come to love the characters in SW Legacy more than any character in the prequel movies and possibly even more than the characters in the original movies.  Ostrander and Duursema have created a whole social and political world that builds on Lucas’ [...]
