"I think I'll be moving away from the quarterly double-sized books and onto the collections at this point. I read the most recent one, and found I had very little emotional connection to anything that was happening in the story. Rucka &…"
"I've been watching the Netflix series You. It's about an oddly attractive psychopath, and I find myself into Season 2. I enjoyed the second season of Lost In Space, too."

Skyward Vol. 3 – Fix The World; Days of Hate – Act One; and Days of Hate – Act Two. Two series conclusions here: technically I could have made it a "Series of Endings" entry."
"On the antenna question: I would recommend buying an antenna and trying it out first. Seems obvious, I know, but over the air reception varies a lot depending on physical location. It certainly does help to get it up high--ours is in the attic.…"

Chris Ware's Building Stories
Building StoriesChris WarePantheon, 2012Reading Ware's Rusty Brown recently reminded me that I had never gotten around to Building Stories. Physically it's like the anti-library book: a box containing fourteen printed works in various sizes, shapes, and formats. Having worked in libraries for years, I can think of no way to safely circulate a copy of it, and would be…See More

Days of Hate: Act TwoAleš Kot, writer; Danijel Žeželj, drawing; Jordie Bellaire, colors; Aditya Bidikar, letters; Tom Muller, designImage Comics, 2019The publisher's blurb for this just says "Endgame," while the back cover has the description "The finale of a dystopian tragedy." Admirably pithy, but I still think the endgame narrative is worth discussing. This second and…See More

Crude Vol. 1 Steve Orlando, writer/creator; Garry Brown, artist/creator; Lee Loughridge, colorist Image Comics, 2018The distinguishing feature of this story is the Russian setting: it's possible to imagine it taking place in a violent working class subculture anywhere, even taking the sexual politics into account.

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.
