"The current Humble Bundle is a massive collection of Image titles. It's so good I went all the way, even though I own some of this already. Criminal, Stray Bullets, Kill or Be Killed, Black Science... Just a ton!"
"Sounds great! I will certainly read it when they collect it."
"I'm late to the party. Just this week I discovered that Hulu has the series and started watching. I'm on the 6th episode. Damn, it's good. You guys were not exaggerating."
Right State by Mat Johnson and Andrea Mutti
Right StateMat Johnson, writer; Andrea Mutti, artistVertigo Comics, 2012I was embarrassed to discover that I actually had read this earlier (blame my memory, not the story telling). But for some reason I only wrote a short review on Goodreads. I gave it two stars in May, 2015, and the review was pretty dismissive:Shrill exploration of extreme right wing politics centering…See More

"I use Google for most writing. I recently installed WPS Office on my Windows 10 laptop, mainly for reading attachments. Works fine for that."
"I'm pretty sure I picked this up, though I don't remember for sure. Given how arresting I found Straub's Blue Rose series (not knowing it was a series, I started with The Throat, and it was incredible!), It's strange that this…"
"I've been watching the TCM "Jazz In Film" series, which airs on Monday and Thursday nights the whole month of June. Should have mentioned it before now, but there is still one week left. Seen lots of great films: Anatomy of a Murder,…"

Wait, I thought dry was the opposite of sweet…?
I meant I bought one of each! This is the first sweet vermouth I've owned, so I can't compare (I do like it a…"

I attended one panel discussion: "The New Power Generation of Comics" with Brian Michael Bendis, Ivan Brandon, Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman, and Matt Fraction. Matt Brady of Newsarama attempted to moderate, with limited success (at one point Fraction turned a question around and basically interviewed Brady instead of the other way around). These writers all know each other, and had a good time tossing the questions around,… Continue
