Comic Reviews and commentary

I don’t write a lot about comics these days but I couldn’t let a year go by and not write about my favorite comics of 2024 over at @panelpatter.bsky.social There were a lot of books I loved this year. www.panelpatter.com/2024/12/jame...
This is one of the best single issues I’ve read in a very long time. If you’re not reading “Assorted Crisis Events” you’re missing out. It’s brutally honest, insightful, great comics work from @denizcamp.bsky.social @ericxyz.bsky.social Jordie Bellaire and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou

I loved Thunderbolts*. I thought it was terrific.
Florence Pugh is a charisma and charm MACHINE. You can’t help but root for her and empathize with her and like her.

They should just give Britt Lower an Emmy right now. Seriously, her work on #Severance is just incredible. The amazing and subtle distinctions and variations on a character are just remarkable. This show is one of the highlights of my week.

40-22 and it wasn’t even nearly that close of a game. It might as well have been 40-8 or something. Wild. Not the outcome I was expecting.

McDaniels as Patriots OC feels uninspired. Clearly the team has had success with him, but I wonder if maybe some newer, more up and coming offensive mind might be better for Maye.

Watching new Severance made me realize how much I missed this show and just how good it is. We went back and started watching it from the beginning.

I have unironically loved Lynch’s “Dune” for 40 years. Even if he didn’t love it, that’s ok, those of us who love it REALLY love it.
