All the Marvel Knights stuff is getting republished in February/March.

That would be rad but tbh, I like how little Spidey fights in the latest movies. He never throws a punch! Just webs and dodges, like he’s scared to hurt someone and wants to restrain them. That’s good Spideying in my book!

Shang usually has a supporting role, but that being said there are a couple of recent storylines I really like him in.

I’m no expert, but I think that’s pretty complicated.

The first book came out in 2001 when I was a tween, so I grew up on these. I can’t wait to be a crotchety 30-year-old, reminded of my lost youth.

Domovoi... that’s a Russian name right? I always thought he was Russian.

Evan this was a great conversation! I’ve had a chance to interview and chat with both these guys, and the fact that I asked similar questions makes me feel like I was doing the thing right.

Consider me hyped. Loved these books!

Give me Mountains of Madness!

“Life In the Big City” is the collection of the earliest issues, and where I started. It’s great!

You ever try Astro City? I think Busiek is a genius, and something he does is let the publication history and trends inform the story. Not only is there a lot of originality, the in-universe explanations for things like the gritty 90s or the superscience boom of the 60s feel like wonderful, organic world building.…

YMMV. I like the Lemire-ness of it all- the weird shifting tone, the freaky changing art-styles, unpeeling the mystery across time. I like the book OK. But the characters mostly don’t do a lot for me. The closest I get to really feeling for someone is Barbalien.

The Outhouse used to do this.

Yo, Black Hammer is aight. But before I see an adaptation of that I’d be more excited to see:
a) Invincible
b) Astro City
c) Sentinels of the Multiverse

I’m with you.

Yeah! And even when there are “bad guys,” she always goes out of her way to contextualize their actions. The pirates in the first book were driven by poverty and didn’t want to hurt anyone. And the criminals in the third book were a little lazy and stupid, but again, weren’t malicious. Chambers’ books reminds me how…

The books are also wonderful. Unlike a lot of other book-to-show adaptations (looking at you Game of Thrones), I think the Expanse show is very true to the themes of the books, but you know, time, budget, all the things that hold a show back from its true vision. The books have an infinite effects budgets donchaknow.

Most Utopian series I’ve encountered recently is Becky Chambers Wayfarers (A Long Way To a Small Angry Planet, A Closed And Common Orbit, Record of a Spaceborn Few). What blows my mind is her books almost completely forgo interpersonal conflict. They’re all about people coming from different places trying to achieve a…

Song of Saya is the game that truly, deeply messed me up.
