It sounds pretty neat; I might have to search it out. <BR/><BR/>As for American Splendor, this is the second "season" (i.e. miniseries) published by Vertigo. But yeah, calling it "season 2" is pretty dumb, considering the book has been around in some form or another for, what, 35 years?<BR/><BR/>I would love to read as much Kirby as I could, but I'm not familiar with Black Magic. Travesty! I doubt Sandman has been collected; it's pretty poorly-regarded, isn't it? I'm partial to 2001: A Space Odyssey; I have most of the back issues, which were fairly cheap. And The Eternals is also pretty awesome.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I'm in denial or something about Licensable Bear. I did read one issue a couple years ago, and I thought it sucked. I guess marketing jokes don't do much for me.<BR/><BR/>Tucker: I've only read through volume 5 of Dragon Head, but I think I read somewhere that it doesn't have a very good ending. But yeah, judging from your description and what I've read, it would be hard to bring it to a satisfying close. Maybe Mochizuki (that's the mangaka's name, right?) got tired of it and just ended it, moving on to something else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-31249013580752335882008-03-31T22:19:00.000-05:002008-03-31T22:19:00.000-05:00About Dragon Head--this is the only book i haven't...About Dragon Head--this is the only book i haven't been excited about in this series so far, and it's not because it's the 'last one, what will fill the void' it's because i've been with this since day 1 and i'm sitting here going--the last one? Really? This whole series has been this great ramping up, ratcheting the tension, building the vibe--and now it's going to end? But...but nothing really happened. Dudes just grooving in the post-apocalyptic, bumping into freaks, moving around, not figuring stuff out and barely getting by. <BR/><BR/>How do you end that?Tucker Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793079084633425826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-90724149793133013372008-03-31T21:16:00.000-05:002008-03-31T21:16:00.000-05:00Amazing Spider-Man #555 - Zeb Wells wrote my favo...Amazing Spider-Man #555 - Zeb Wells wrote my favorite Spider-man story of the last...<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure, but the last since the Spider-man story drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz. Trippy stuff, with the Sandman running around budding different bodies with different personalities, and the whole thing had overtones of definition of sexual identity. And was drawn by Sam Keith! <BR/><BR/>So he can certainly do good work. <BR/><BR/>American Splendor Season Two: Season Two? Shouldn't we be on, like, season 16 by now? <BR/><BR/>Kamandi - It pisses me off how much Kirby is out of print. Has Black Magic ever been reprinted? Has Sandman ever been in trade? How come I can't fine a copy of BOYS RANCH (Right up there with my favorite Kirby stuff ever) for less than fifty bones. Gah. <BR/><BR/>Many Happy Returns - You don't love Licensable Bear? EVERYBODY loves licensable bear. Clearly in denial, you are. <BR/><BR/>Rabbi's Cat - Man, I know I read volume one. But I remember nothing about it. <BR/><BR/>Probably not a ringing endorsement.<BR/><BR/>Tonoharu - This looks cool. I'll probably get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
