Anyone else pick up Royal City yesterday? I'm a sucker for Jeff Lemire, but I thought it did a good job of establishing the setting and characters, and there was a good hook in there too. Looking forward to more!

I picked it up, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Glad to hear it's pleasing. In other Image #1 news, Rat Queens was pretty entertaining. I didn't read the old series but it sure seems like its more of the same, and it looks like that same is pretty entertaining, if a little shallow.

It's an almost perfect translation of a Friday night beer and pretzels d&d game into comics. Where Volume 1 fell down (aside from the incredible artist curse that rivaled the Spinal Tap drummer curse) was when it tried to get serious - badly. Ironically, it read like a friday night D&D game that was about to break up due to drama between the dungeon master and his girlfriend over in-game behavior.

Shirtless Bear Fighter may be pretty generic, but goddamn if that isn't a good sell on a generic premise. Family Trade does look great. I've always been a sucker for a good ocean world, ever since Tale Spin.

I think The Family Trade, Flavor, Sleepless, Redlands, and The New World all sound interesting to try out. Might check out Sacred Creatures too. Not much interest in anything else. That Savage Town one sounds pretty bad to me, actually.

IDW is currently the King Of Licensed Properties™, but I wouldn't call them bad. They put out Ghostbusters, after all.

IDW also started publishing The Obscure Cities, although I seem to have missed The Leaning Girl before it went out of print grumble grumble.

Remender!  Low's first issue since August was good. Also was entirely a flashback, so I guess it's another month before we get any resolution at all on that teensy weensy little cliffhanger of issue 15.

Uber Invasion #4 covers what happened in Britain and how Turing and Steph got to the US, where Leah is. No pushing of the timeline. Well uh, yeah. A little girl battleship candidate. This should be horrible.

This has been a rough volume so far. I am wondering just what it was that Turing discovered, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I might've missed it, but where did they send Leah and Tamara? The Allied forces in Italy? Or the USA, somehow?

While waiting for Low to give me some resolution I've been reading Remender's back catalogue. He is unquestionably a master. Black Science is fantastic after two trades amping up to ridiculous multidimensional adventures. I was not nearly as pleased with the start of Deadly Class. And then issue 4, an arc starts in a police station with a tale of drug use and the series is off to the races. I didn't understand the popularity of the series until then, but those 3 issues sold me on the rest of it. His stories are going to cost me a lot of money this year. And that's without even touching his work with Marvel. I imagine at some point those Uncanny X-Force compendiums will find their way into my hands, but I think I prefer him with free reign to torment the inhabitants of his universes as he pleases. In non-Remender news, I'm super excited for more Curse Words, though the end of issue #2 left me with some worries about its visual direction. I have faith that it will be handled well. Curse Words is just awesome. Frame after frame of Wizord being awesome and doing awesome stuff and looking awesome doing it. It's not sophisticated, but it is fuckin' sweeeeeet. #3 comes out on Wednesday along with reprints of #1 and #2

Finished a couple older minis. Who Is Jake Ellis and Where is Jake Ellis by Nathan Edmunson. They were good little thrillers but very compressed, especially the first one. Definitely felt like there was more of a story to be told and just not enough space to tell it.

Getting caught up after letting stuff pile up for weeks, and finally made a dent into a massive backlog of Giant Days I got during a Comixology sale and I frickin' love this book. I'm sure part of it is simply because it's a comic about British university students, so it's more directly relateable to me as I fondly remember my own student days but the art is adoreable and the characters are flawed but remain likeable. Susan and McGraw breaking up because she wouldn't let him help her when she was overwhelmed and clearly let him slip down her priority list is very, very real in a way that isn't overtly melodramatic. A lot of other comics would've had one cheat on the other or lots of recrimination, but nope, it's handled in a funny, silly in the absurdist way the book dips into, but believeable way. (I'm only up to about #16, btw)

Today I read the new Curse Words. Fun, and the resolution of problems from the end of issue 2 is certainly... magical. I also read the second Deadly Class trade. There's a sequence from issue #10, I believe, that had me rolling with laughter. From the wake up with Saya to the run to the comic shop sale to the burrito to "go time" was just a perfect sequence. Rest of the issue was good, but from the beginning to when his classmates arrive was perfection This series' high points are so incredibly high that I got sold on the rest of the series, so once this shipment arrives I think I own all of Remender's image trades now.
