The book is available via Comixology, but just not through the IOS app. But you can download it to the app regardless.

I'm currently reading Jan Morris's Among the Cities, a collection of travel essays compiled from the 50s to the 80s. They're great and the woman can evoke the environment of the place, the sense of it, the feeling if it's a fast-moving modern bustle of a metropolis or a slower, more archaic city still caught in its…

Cosmopolis is a pretty substandard DeLillo book. Underworld is crazy and big and I don't think I liked it until I read it in class in college.

I thought Casual Vacancy was a great book. Cuckoo's Calling didn't do much for me either — it had moments of being pretty intense or interesting, but I thought Rowling was really trying to challenge herself as a writer and what she could do with such bland people, that it came off as far more interesting to me.

To me, "Catching Fire" was going really well, but in the middle of it, Collins like freaked out and lost all her nerve and just retold "Hunger Games" and killed the momentum.

Most disappointing thing this week: Sandman Overture 2 is delayed until February.

I started off with digital issues and paper trades when I started getting into the monthlies. I like that I could get cheaper back issues via Comixology or some comic-sharing CBZ site, and the whole manga scene, I've discovered, is almost entirely online. But I think paper is 100% better. I read it better. I fall into…

So the Kamandi collection I'm reading has the original covers with all the glorious Silver Age DC verbage and material splattered all over it. And each issue was only like $0.20 or something.

I think solicits list the next ones as back to $3.99.

Batman and Robin was pretty solid until about 14, I think. The silent issue was its highest point, but the arcs afterward, I think, struggled to hit those high points.

Batman 25 — which has finally settled in and started being the Batman book I love again.

Neil Gaiman.
Grant Morrison.
Jack Kirby. (Seriously! I'm in the middle of Kamandi right now and it's so so so so cool.)
Charles Schulz

Swamp Thing is published under Vertigo now, but it was originally a DC title and I think it was a DC title until the end of Moore's run. Sandman made the switch in the no. 40s, I think.

Yeah, except most of DC digital first titles are crazy successful and regarded better than a good percentage of their incontinuity shizz. At least critically since no one ever discloses the actual numbers for these books.

I had a bigger week. Between my boyfriend's and my books I read:

Sandman and 1602 have virtually nothing in common.

Huge Gaiman fan as well, but I actually think "Sandman" is second to "Coraline."

I think Batgirl has become interesting since…21…? I like this "Wanted" arc a bit, actually.

Sandman Overture — which is gorgeous and great and though I was like 2 when the first book came out, it was the book that got me into reading comics, and probably one of the biggest influences in my comics or whatever, and it's great to be back in the Dreaming.

Damian was pretty awful, yeah.
