Black Hammer: Streets Of Spiral
Black Hammer: Streets Of SpiralJeff Lemire, writer/creator; Dean Ormston, creator; Emi Lenox, art; and many othersDark Horse Comics, 2019It's kind of amazing that Black Hammer has been around long enough to generate a miscellaneous collection like this. It collects: Black Hammer: Giant Sized Annual, Cthu-Louise, World of Black Hammer Encyclopedia, and material from Free…See More
Black Science Vol. 9: No Authority But Yourself
Black Science Vol. 9: No Authority But YourselfRick Remender, writer; Matteo Scalera, artist; Moreno Dinisio, colorsImage Comics, 2019After all this time, the finale caught me by surprise. Not only did I not realize this was the series ending before I began reading it, I wasn't even sure after finishing. I think this is more of a commentary on the open-ended multiverse…See More
Rusty Brown
Rusty Brown Chris Ware, writing & art Jonathan Cape, 2019Chris Ware began work on Rusty Brown immediately after completing the acclaimed Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. There are definite similarities between the two: both were partially serialised before being published in book form; both deal with frequently depressed, socially awkward characters; and…See More
"You should also investigate your local public library. They would likely have some of this stuff in their physical collection. And if they offer the Hoopla service there are a wide variety of e-comics. That's how I do most of my reading these…"
"I'm looking forward to both of these when they get collected. Also curious to see where the Sandman Universe books go in the second collections."
"Short Cuts 44
Oblivion Song Volume Two; The Beauty Vol. 5; Ice Cream Man Vol. 3 – Hopscotch Mélange; & Frankenstein Alive, Alive! – The Complete Collection.
Another mostly-Image installment."
"I had a VUDU credit and watched Jordan Peele's Us. Truly creepy, and a horror film with a novel premise. Not as though-provoking as Get Out was, but I definitely recommend it."
Ascender Vol. 1: The Haunted Galaxy
Ascender Vol. 1: The Haunted GalaxyJeff Lemire & Dustin Nguyen, storytellersImage Comics, 2019Set a decade after the explosive climax of the Descender series, Ascender tells the story of the changed universe that resulted. Magic has taken the place of technology, and the ruler is a powerful vampire witch who calls herself Mother. The title implies a loving…See More
"Mr. Vertigo Reviews 75: Black Badge Volume One; Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil; The Empty Man
An interesting mix of publishers: two from Boom! and one from Dark Horse. No Image, or Vertigo."
"I have this, but I haven't opened it yet! Looking forward to it, as I love the Black Hammer Universe."
"The collapse was pretty fast, I agree. But Kirkman did set it up. There was broad discontent in the society, and losing the support of the army has been responsible for the failure of lots of totalitarian governments in the real world."

Heroes Convention 2009
Posted on June 19, 2009 at 11:26pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
After a late start, spent almost seven hours at the convention. 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

Thanks, Mark. Just clearing up a question a friend made of me about the review of Don Quixote (I'm NOT that Rob Davis). This looks like a fun place, though I doubt I'll have much time to visit often.
