Seeing lots of online comic strips posted here, not a lot of discussion about actual comic BOOKS.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I put up a link to the comics list for last Wednesday, 6/28. If there’s interest I can do it again for next Wednesday, 7/3…

Picked up:

Action #1056 - Never thought I’d bee buying Superman stuff again, but everything since the “Dawn of DC” launch has been really good.

Batman: Brave and the Bold #2 - Oversized anthology book, Joker story from Tom King and Mitch Gerads has been really good.

Cerebus In Hell 6/2023 - Really just a pity buy at this point. It’s not particularly good, but Sim has some major health challenges and if buying it helps him keep the lights on, fine.

Cityboy #2 - Really liking the “We Are Legends” books. This, Spirit World, and The Vigil. Maybe more this and Spirit World than the Vigil.

Green Arrow #3 - See “Dawn of DC” message for Action. All of it has been solid so far.

The Oddly Pedestrial Life of Christopher Chaos #1 - Written and illustrated by people I’ve never heard of, it’s a solid read. Not sure I fully understand it yet. I guess the best way to describe it is Christopher is a Mathemagician. He does stuff with formulas you shouldn’t be able to do. Like a cross between Jenny Quick saying a super speed formula out loud crossed with Doctor Strange.

I can’t say Iiked it enough to put it on my pull list, but I’ll give it a few issues.

    I’m burnt out on heroes. I’ve been enjoying comics that turn them on their head. I’ve been rereading/ reading: “The Watchman”, “Omniman”, “The Boys”, etc…

    I’m thinking of checking out spider punk.

    Also, not a “comic” but I’ve been reading Junji Ito like a mad man.
