Honestly I’m envious of folks that can listen to calls on speaker phone in public. I have to wear my AirPods or I won’t be able to distinguish from background noise.

Finished reading Gideon Falls V2 By Lemire, Sorrentino, Stewart this morning.
It’s a beautiful, well thought out ending. It’s difficult on Lemire, since as a reader you understand the mystery, which makes the story less compelling, fortunately the art carries the story the last few issues.

As someone who buys new comic trades nearly every week, it’s baffling to me that publishers, especially the big 2, aren’t dedicating at the very least a social media post every week for new and upcoming trade/hardcover/omnibus releases.

Interesting interview with Clair Noto about writing Red Sonja comics and working with Roy Thomas.
“There Isn’t A Word of Truth In Any of That”- A Conversation With The Elusive & Prolific Clair Noto on Hollywood, Marvel, and Her Erasure from Red Sonja
Who is Clair Noto? Clair Noto is a footnote in the history of Marvel Comics. Superciliously deigned as a co-writer (which she denies), lazily written off (if written about at all) by supposed fans …

Just finished Gideon Falls by Lemire, art by Sorrentino, colors by Stewart.
Absolutely incredible art with colors that complete a real identity as a horror book. This feels like 3 creators at the top of their form.

I got to see Superman last night & enjoyed it very much. Incredible cast. Good story. I enjoyed the way it looked. It felt like a comic book.
It was fast paced, with no time to repeat itself, so some folks will miss the details and point at them as plot holes.
I hope folks read more Superman now.

This is probably going to be a controversial opinion, but I don't want super-hero movies to adapt existing stories. We have those stories. In the comics. By the comic creators. I would much prefer original stories. That's why I am looking forward to seeing Superman.

Running in central Florida is a very wet experience.
Books have been read. Miles have been ran.
Some pushups left to go… then off to visit some dear friends.

Decorum by Hickman & Huddleston, originally a Patreon project. The art is is interesting, beautiful & tells the a captivating story. The ‘Hickman design pages’ are in excess. The characters are dynamic, well thought out. A slow act 1 becomes a fantastic act 2.
They don’t stick the ending.

I really hope the Magic let McClung go, just so I can stop hearing Magic fans say ‘we need to play him, he’s our TJ McConnell!’
Cause like, he doesn’t have much in common McConnell, apart from one particular thing.
