Just binged Crossover. As a fan of self-indulgent meta House of Leaves/GM Animal Man/Matrix 4 bullshit I was thoroughly invested. One of the rare situations where a comic getting cut short by real-life circumstances actually makes it more narratively potent. Big fan of the sequence where Zdarsky commits selfcest. (Speaking of Zdarsky and inside-baseball comics that stopped suddenly, what happened to Public Domain? Is that still happening?)

Been reading Astro City through recommendation of the Marvel Thread. It's incredible how this comic is just Busiek flexing, doing every single hard-to-pull-off/tropey concept in superhero books effortlessly and then moving on to something completely different. He even manages to predict arcs that haven't happened yet, it's incredible.

It is really funny that Busiek followed up Marvels which is all "Hey what if there was a comic about NORMAL people" with Astro City's first issue, which asks the brave question "Hey I bet Superman feels a little sad sometimes"

I really liked the story with the possible future sons of Jack-In-The-Box on a pure storytelling level. Again, supremely 90s story conceit but executed to perfection. As for one-shots, I really enjoyed the story about the cartoon lion who came to life.
