I honestly think the Moon Knight book is the best thing Marvel's putting out right now by a country mile. Enjoying Jed McKay's work so much I'm tempted to dive into the kudziu patch that is Avengers when he takes over the title.

That vol 1 of the Fantagraphics SPAIN collection came in today.
After dinner sat on the back porch and read the fist 24 or so pays of what is suppose to be the full run of Trashman. With piles of the early episodes in this ongoing serial being made for newspapers,like East Village Other,it is nice that Grantagraphics published this TPB in a bigger than normal size.
Yea Spain's art and subject matter isn't for everyone. Really he is one of the least problematic guys from the whole Zap Comix collective.

Last Ronin is great.
I also picked up all 3 Morrison Batman Omnibuses on Amazon. Maybe due to Gunn saying hes basing the DCU movies on em, at least on Friday each one was under 45 bucks. Since they retail 75 each that was a steal.

Action Comics is climbing the sales charts more and more, now in 25th place for the month of January, outselling at least one of the two issues of Amazing Spider-Man that month. PKJ is turning the book's fortunes around pretty significantly.

Still culling my collection. Dug thru a box of non-standard sized comics. Besides close to 50 non-Archie Digests and under a stack of Elfquest,The Tick 1 thru 12 and early issues of TMNT was two issues of Toxic. Yea over here it is mostly known for being a short lived UK comic where Marshal Law went after leaving Epic and before going to Dark Horse. But the rest of the stories at least in the two issues I have,all have good to great art.

And couldn't sleep so read Dai Black vol 1.
Been a long time since I read any manga that made me want to go get the next vol ASAP.
Odd but weird Sci fi/Horror/just strangeness combo. Great art with what appears the main artist likes using paints and washes for dark tones and bones.

I checked it out because the mangaka also did Dorohedoro which is another awesomely weird manga and anime that I love to pieces.

Yea Dai Dark,was trying to read the spine from across the room without my glasses on. Good stuff ,saw the creator also did another series. While going through boxes of stuff and looking at my spreadsheet appears I am really really close to having finished two runs I have been working on for decades. Now I am going for TPB/Hardcovers and floppies with these series. 1.Swamp Thing-Started with Moores first issue,and got most of Moore's run in Hardcover. Then after that got mostly floppies. Going to the end of this volume. Need 21 more issues to finish it. 2.Hellblazer-Going from issue 1 till the end. Most of this is tpbs. But only 13 issues from a full run.

Supposed ASM #19 spoilers {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Peter and Felicia run into Mary Jane and Paul at the spa they’re attending and the whole situation is played up as a comedic Parker Luck type situation. Of course, they had to write Mary Jane as a snippy bi**h during the scene.
Felicia also apparently knows that Peter still loves Mary Jane and is fine with it.

Re-reading a lot of 90's Batman lately, and honestly, is there a better, more iconic artist for The Bat than Norm Breyfogle?

RIP Lee. (To clarify, "Dreamer" in this case was alias Nura Nal starting using in the 00's run of LoSH, not her ancestor Nia as played/written by Nicole Maines)

ROFL, they don't even save a revelation like that for the actual story, just the recap page. Shows how much thought they're putting into this.
At least, from what I read, Kelly has Felicia acknowledge Peter is obsessed more with MJ than her and is trying to understand why so they can move forward with their relationship.

Yeah... nothing we've seen indicated they were married.
Only thing I can think of was they changed it in the actual story and didn't fix the recap page?
Which would be stupid... but who knows.

Over in Gold Goblin {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Osborn hands Peter the keys to Oscorp.
So yeah, we're getting a CEO Peter devising hi-tech gadgets, just like the Parker Industries days at the close of Slott's run
It's like 2018-2021 never happened.
