Batman 69-70 - Finally out of that dreamworld! Happy to start wrapping this up.
Welllllll, maybe
Bone Parish 1 & 2 - BAM! I'm in. This is a good book. I was so creeped out in the first issue but the premise is fascinating. There's a lot of ways this can go and none of them good for the characters.
Glad to hear it hit for you.
Loved the "rocker" moment, that really showed what this drug was like, what it can do, and that is important to get that in early, so Bunn did a great job with that. Plus you learn a tad more as you go. I was really surprised I never knew about this book. In fact I was told I was an idiot, to which I didn't disagree
. I think it was the fact it is Boom. That said, yeah, I'm hooked as well.
DCeased 2 - Man - that image of...
... You just knew what was going to happen.
Yes sir. That was what really won me over. I thought that was done so well.
Got a couple books from the sale so I can read what I've been trying to read for awhile and one book I shouldn't really claim I "read", but I got most of it in I think

Collapser #1 - Another of DC's Young Animals imprint, this one written by the brother of Doom Patrol's Gerard Way, Mikey Way. Kinda grabbed this off the shelf and "scan read" it, reading every other page or so. Basically a guy gets a Black Hole as a gift from some ... alien, that possibly knew his mom or some such, who could be an alien or ... yeah, like I said, I scanned it
I liked the opening page enough where we are shown a dead alien/hero with this black gunk on her (think Venom, but I guess it is the Black Hole) and some aliens are around her saying she is dead, but it is still alive. Later, a few pages in, this guy on Earth then gets a box delivered to his house with the same gunk(?) inside. It did seem pretty cool, although I am not going to read it right now, I may add it later once it is collected.
Criminal #1
Criminal #2 - Like a warm blanket on a cold evening, you just know you can cuddle up and get cozy as these creators bring you good crime drama issue after issue. Why in the hell would I bring up a warm blanket metaphor when it was 110 degrees here yesterday I haven't the foggiest.
Enjoyed the first issue greatly, although it seemed almost like an afterthought ending, with his future being told to us instead of shown. It was still good, don't get me wrong
Issue #2 is really cool, bringing in the comic world. I was, at first, wondering if the old artist was Gil Kane (after all, the older artist character being called Hal Crane and such), but then things progressed in a manner that I now just think I was trying to find connection to the story and real life. Cool how Brubaker brought up some old comic creators and editors throughout the story though. Really dug this as well.
