Sort-of relevant to the thread: Italian actress Monica Vitti died today; she played Modesty Blaise in the 1966 movie of the same name, adapted from the comic strip.

I've been thinking about doing something, and then you go and share this news. So, what the hell!

Allison has actually been toying with the idea of a Giant Days / Batman crossover for a couple of years now, starting with this series of panels drawn by Max Sarin in 2019;

Thank you for a quick reminder of why I hate Max Sarin's collaborations with Allison so much.

I mean, I figured it would be something like that, and then there's one last swerve right at the end.

NGL I skipped over this whole adventure. Looking forward to picking up with a new story. (How many are left?)

I love Modesty Blaise, but could you maybe cut back the number of strips in one post? i feel like we'll zoom through it all too fast at this pace.

you are free to ignore this ofc, especially since people probably disagree with me

Posting two pages a day gives each story 2-3 weeks of runtime. There's 90+ stories and it took me years to post 60 of them (I started around story 30). Sorry, I can't move slower.

Bear in mind I'm not reading ahead when I post; I am generally following along with the thread.

In contrast, I think the Bad Machinery cases, posted one page per day, take too long to tell the story. I ended up going and digging out my PDF archive to read the current story because I couldn't remember what happened and we're still weeks away from a conclusion.

I'd be curious to see Romero's conclusion to that storyline - it looks like the Spanish book only adds 40 or so strips to the abbreviated end, so it must wrap up pretty quick.

Thanks for posting Axa!
