There's a new book called Breathless from Black Mask that's off to a decent start. It caught my eye because the writer is Pat Shand, who wrote a bunch of Zenescope comics that, against all odds, were actually pretty okay. I'm glad I can actually recommend one of his books now without feeling like I have to defend myself immediately afterward.

I just read Curse Words 13. Was it meant to be so yellow on so many pages? They're were maybe four pages that were in full color. Even the ad for the second trade paperback was yellow.

Tomboy volume 1 is good. But drat is it dark. And bloody. Really bloody Also, it is weird that the tradeback keeps all the ads for the other series in it...per issue. So each issue ends with 6 pages of ads before you get to the next issue. Why would you do that?

El Gallinero Gros posted:I understand there's a new The Prisoner comic? Which seems to miss the point quite substantially by giving a detailed backstory on why the new Prisoner resigns and who he is.

Shattered Visage is the only comic that The Prisoner needs.

Like, imagine if they did one explicitly based on the characters from the show and opened by basically doing a plot from Danger Man, confirming McGoohan was playing the same guy from that show. That's this comic.

That's disappointing. Oh well, maybe in a few years someone cool like Jordan Peele or Danny Boyle will do a remake of the show that isn't butts. I heard the AMC one sucked.

I don't think it was great, but I don't think it sucked, either. I give it props for being its own thing rather than trying to just slavishly redo the original. It didn't fully stick it, but I give it credit. I remember before AMC got the rights, Nolan had talked about wanting to do a movie version, but I don't think The Prisoner would work as a movie.

Well, it could, but not if Nolan made it now. The budget and weight that would be put on it would prevent it from being as weird and off-kilter as it would need to be.

The first issue of Skyward was pretty good. Not really sure what the actual plot is, but the concept of a city that's become zero-G several decades on has a lot of promise for fun visuals and designs.

I need to reread the series when it's finally done since it's hard to follow at the pace it comes out and with all the various plotlines going on at once)

Yeah he has been in quite a few issues. He had a couple that focus entirely on him. I like the issues about him because he has clear motivations and goals, whereas I'm in the dark for a lot of the characters who make grandiloquent proclamations but never seem to explain what the end game of all this is.

Anyone else pickup Barrier at FCBD and immediately buy the rest of the issues? One of my favorite recent discoveries and I loved the horizontal layout and cinematic style.

This is definitely one to buy physically.

This is probably gonna be too niche for this crowd, but i read Michelle Perez's book The Pervert that came out through image this last week last night and it was very good. It's her autobiographical story of being a trans sex worker in seattle, and it's very nsfw just to give a head's up, and it was pretty interesting. Worth a look imo

Worth a look imo I thought it was great, and had been looking forward to it since the excerpt in Island, but I was pleasantly surprised at how consistently funny it was on top of being so unblinkingly frank. That bit with the Clifford-rear end manager with his tongue hanging out was so well-paced and such a concise, economical character sketch.

I just saw in the latest issue (#18) of Kill or Be Killed that it's going to end at #20. That's kind of sad in that I like it, but good in that there's actually an overall storyline plotted out rather than it just stringing its premise along indefinitely. Plus apparently a TV show is in the works. Speaking of TV, in the letters of the latest Sex Criminals, that's possibly getting a TV adaptation, too.

Cinema Purgatorio is supposedly coming out next week. Also, if you liked the weird science fiction of Prophet and Island, you might want to look at the new series Prism Stalker. It's from Sloane Leong, who did some work on Prophet and Glory.

More Criminal, maybe. Also, Ether is back next week! It was a great story with some wild art that sadly didn’t get a lot of traction, so I’m happy it’s coming back, even if just for 5 issues.

I'm looking forward to more Ether as well. Has anyone else been picking up Isola? I'm enjoying it so far - nice combination of art and story. Coda seems interesting too, as far as fantasy stuff goes. I had recently mentioned Nowhere Men being in my upcoming issues list, but I think that was just some weird Comixology placeholder because it kept getting pushed back and now it doesn't show up at all.

Rick Remender's new book Death or Glory is pretty great so far. Amazing art. A little bit faster pacing than Remender's usual slow burn style. Speed Racer meets Smokey and the Bandit meets Fast & the Furious? I can't wait to see where it goes. Also really enjoying Barrier. Brian K Vaughan doing Brian K Vaughan things. I don't know Spanish, so it's pretty interesting--as the AV club review put it, Brian K Vaughan is a master of alienation--this time alienating the reader in a fitting title about aliens (both illegal immigrant variety & space). Coda's artwork caught my eye but I ultimately passed on picking it up, I'm regretting that now that my shop is showing it's on backorder waiting for a 2nd printing.

Yeah, I dug the first issue of Death or Glory. Looking forward to see where it goes. I also got the first issue of Coda not knowing anything about it other than Saladin Ahmad was writing and that's going to be something special, I think. Fantasy post-apocalyptic heist story? Yes please.
