Digging through seven months of AV Club music coverage takes about three minutes.

I was Beyond Bored by it and found some of those action scenes incomprehensible. But my husband loved it.

He does get to have it, but offscreen.

I think you're not really sure what the terms "plot driven" and "character driven" mean. Your experience watching it doesn't matter at all, it's about what drives most of the storyline - external factors or the characters' inner life (see Rectify or The Carmichael Show for different, completely character driven…

I tell you, Fuller House Season Two will surprise us all!

To be fair, this show is a collection of tropes and references, the possibility of several people coming up with similar ideas is really high.

Character driven? I agree that not everything needs character arcs, but this is a plot driven drama if ever I've seen one. Which is not a judgement, but it's a show about monsters and conspiracies and the search for a lost boy and a love triangle, all that stuff drives the series.

That's the closest to my own headcanon, that the Upside Down once was populated and that monster killed them all. Never thought about where it came from, but an invasion would make sense.

It worked out well for the studio though.

She was on last year's list, if I'm not mistaken, and the writers here don't do repeats.

This. Todd VanDerWerff wrote in his review that this was mostly a show about a small town and its citizens, and the monster stuff would amount to maybe three episodes. I felt like I've seen a completely different season than he did. Cut some of the teenager stuff and every single scene is about Will or Eleven.

I just wanna know how the monster survived without any teenagers to eat in the Upside Down before Eleven opened the gate to our world.

I actually don't find trades that beautiful, at least not the paperback ones. But my bookshelf is full of hardcover editions. Those I do love.

Yeah, those other three titles set a really high bar.

The current Darkwing-run is delightful.

Serial Comics: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

Oh, I forgot another title I'm really enjoying right now: Voracious. I already loved the initial concept, but the volume-ending twist elevates the whole series to another level of bonkers.

Two issues of Sabrina in one year is like factory-level of production.

There are a ton of great comics from smaller publishers out there, but I really have to force myself to physically write down the titles somewhere so I don't forget which ones I'm reading, they easily get lost among the four big publishers. Case in point: I completely forgot mentioning Voracious in my initial post,…

I didn't care about the election storyline at all, but liked everything after it, with the home town and the flat search and the camping, so I feel it's on an uptick right now after a slight drop in the middle.
