That sounds more like a dystopia to me.

I've been listening to Tanis for the past few weeks. I'm nowhere near caught up, but you have their writing style down solid!

When he spoke at Emerald City Comicon last year, he talked about his role as Kimahri. A fan asked him about the role, and DiMaggio admitted he couldn't remember who Kimahri was. He was real gracious about it though, and complimented the fan for following his career so closely.

Second Semester is much better than Yearbook or the Lumberjanes crossover. The first trade is a prime mix of friendship, mystery, Gotham history, and school shenanigans.

It was originally planned as a 12-issue miniseries, if I recall correctly. That said, I also want more!

The Morrison run is pretty good. I recommend it if you're interested in connecting more with the current Doom Patrol, or if you just want some unexpected fun.

Stupid children need the most attention.

My client here looks like a frog, I know. I see him. But I'm telling you fellows… He sings like an angel.

How many iterations of himself will Batman fight, only to discover the one villain he can never defeat is… himself?

I tend to use tfaw.com (Oregon) or midtowncomics.com (New York) for my physical comics. Both of them have the comic available for pre-order.

Who's your favorite character?

I haven't heard anything too specific about the Yu translation, but a quick Google suggests it's preferable to the Jenner. Enjoy!

My first suggestion was going to be Nancy Farmer's "The Ear, The Eye, and the Arm," but Amazon suggest that's aimed a few years older. Maybe "A Girl Named Disaster" or Lawrence Yep's "Dragon of the Lost Sea" series?

Fool me once, fool me twice; fool me chicken soup and rice.

Have you read Journey to the West? I tried reading the Jenner translation several years ago, but I kept getting hung up on the language. At the time it seemed stilted, and pretty much put me off of the Chinese classics. I'd love to give them another try though!

The Sword of Shannara Series by David Brooks is the first read-alike series that comes to mind. The Mistborn Saga by Brandon Sanderson is a little further afield, but has action, intrigue, and lots of unique characters.

Have you read Vandermeer's City of Saints & Madmen or Shriek? It's been a few years, but I enjoyed how Finch continued the story of Ambergris. Like the Southern Reach, there's a sense of dread that gains power from being spread across several stories.

Just let me throw a barrel at it!

I just read the article, and it seems… anemic compared to Sweets & Snacks Expos of years past. Everything was better when I was younger, my back aches, and I don't even have a joke to end this list.

See you in hell, candy boys!
