Afu Chan’s art in Outer Darkness is tops. Pat Brousseau’s lettering is inventive and the two together ace a look that feels retro and modern and perfect. I like how the story blasts past Gene Roddenberry to Herman Melville; the vibe is sea farer, expanse explorer, the bridge, the bar, the brig, conscription, deadly…

Redlands is absolutely shattering. Powerful, empowering, traumatizing, beautiful, horny, disgusting, real, real, real, magic. Yeah, I know, Absorbing Man, but GD Redlands is comics on a whole ‘nother level from the rest of the nominees in its category.

As for the set pieces, there are flying, flaming jet-skis; giant arrows piercing planes; exploding oil ships’ and the all-time best bungee jump rescue in cinema history.

To be fair there are roughly a dozen Bat books out right now, picking the right one isn’t easy (cough cough Batman: Creature of the Night cough). I loved Tom King’s work on Sheriff of Babylon, I’m sure he’s doing great things with the franchise.

Spiritus is a new title, two issues in, from Vault. In a future where prisons are considered barbaric, criminals’ minds are permanently installed in the bodies of service robots so that they can positively contribute to society. The mob offers an MMA fighter convicted of murder a chance to be put into a robot body…

Redlands is great. Black was really good.

As stated elsewhere in the comments, spears nearly did Drogon in at the end of Season Five. Instead of flying around and burning everybody, guy just sat in the dirt and got poked almost to death. Isn’t that why they had to fly away and Dothraki and whatnot? I thought dragons were supposed to be smart?

I read this article and enjoyed it. Then I read the EW article written the night before that is regularly linked to throughout and... um... pretty shameless rip, for the most part. Unless by “we” you mean Anthony Breznican, Ryan Coogler, and Kevin Feige?

I have weird mixed feelings about this whole idea from Marvel. Seeing so many icons turned white is kind of a bummer. I would rather see Dr. Dre dressed up as Stephen Strange than replaced by him, you know? Of course, that doesn’t stop me from lusting after the Kamala Khan Lauryn Hill variant. Or doing it myself.

He is also quite good at fitting slice o’ life into his books and making it feel natural. The first thing I ever read from Brubaker was Lowlife, his autobio comic, and I could immediately relate (possibly to an unhealthy degree). Part of why I like stuff like Criminal or Incognito so much is they go out of their way…

The Winter Soldier and Death of Captain America stuff was my favorite of the Brubaker/Cap work. His run on Daredevil is also particularly good. He is good at integrating nostalgia into superhero comics, his Captain America is full of really well executed WWII action and his DD is a fantastic ninja book, but both stay…

R2’s head is on backwards, maybe it’s some kind of joke.

Something else I like about this comic is that Lunella is still a kid and despite how smart she is, sometimes she thinks she is smarter than she is, and the words come out wrong. I remember that sort of thing happening to me with some frequency when I was her age.

I think it is the clash of dynamics that makes this comic so interesting. Lunella is a bleeding edge science nerd, able to correct her teacher’s evolutionary phraseology, too smart for her own good. Devil Dinosaur is pseudoscience at its Sid and Marty Krofftiest. How the two reconcile is the main reason I can’t wait…

It’s complimented by Tamra Bonvillain’s vivid color work, which bursts off the page.

I gave Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur a shot this week and I think you might be into it. Moon Girl is a total science geek. Devil Dinosaur is some total psuedoscience shit. They are going to make an interesting pair.

Thanks! When comics are as good as the stuff DR keeps throwing at me, the shit practically writes itself.
