The Low, Low Woods Carmen Maria Machado, writer; DaNi, artist; Tamra Bonvillain, coloristDC Black Label, 2020This entry in Joe Hill's Hill House Comics is a strange one. It takes place in a hellscape called Shudder-to-Think, Pennsylvania. The coal mines have been burning underground, calling the setting of the Silent Hill movies to mind. This isn't quite as apocalyptic,…See More
"I just finished G. Willow Wilson's Alif the Unseen. Loved it, and here's my Goodreads review:
For once, a book club selection I made! I've been meaning to get to this for awhile. It's a fascinating combination of cyberpunk,…"
"I also thought that the movie was a good adaptation. My only quibble was that they had the Tralfamadorians invisible/other dimensional. The book describes them as looking like "plumber's friends.""
"Very well said, Glenn! I agree."
Glenn Hakanson replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Slaughterhouse-Five, or the Children's Crusade"I've read the book and seen the movie; IMHO this is a very good adaption. Captured the black humor of the original and is true to the non-linear flow of the storyline without making it confusing.
Most importantly, I enjoyed it!"
"One of my better blog entries is devoted to Howard the Duck (along with Nevada and Howard the Duck MAX). You might enjoy it, Jeff."
"I read this one yesterday, and I thought it was really good. The art kind of reminded me of Dave Lapham, and some of the characters looked like real world people.
Mr. Hamilton reminded me a little bit of Ned Beatty, and the Sheriff looked a bit like…"
"I'm a big Vonnegut fan, too, in case that wasn't clear. My favorite is probably Cat's Cradle, but I'm fond of this one too. I doubt I would have bought this myself, but it's available for free on the Hoopla service my local…"
"I'm not sure if I'll buy the GN. It's one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors."
"I don't usually read graphic adaptations of novels, either (well, apart from the occasional Classics Illustrated). the most recent one I bought (earlier this year) was the adaptation of Orwell's Animal Farm, but I haven't read it yet…"
"Mr. Vertigo Reviews 81
Two final Vertigo Original Graphic Novels: The Green Woman & Right State. Turns out I read Right State earlier, so I took the opportunity to revisit it."
"Thanks for the recommendation, Richard! Watched them both this week and had a blast. I must have seen at least part of the first one before, because it looked familiar. Fun to watch them on successive nights."
"Yes, I've read all of Saga, including the Martin Pasko run. I don't think I own all of it anymore, but there must be quite a few bargain bin single issues, since for a long time the only thing collected was the Alan Moore issues. I…"

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.
