Below are the 2 most recent journal entries recorded in the " Philippos Fourty-Two. June 4th, 2015. So, what I take from this, is David Walker is writing Cyborg, and I may want to look at that. My response (could probably be better) to this piece: https:/ themiddlespaces.wordpress.com/2. Interesting and partially persuasive points. I think you're trying a little too hard to force a pattern here. But I agree that DC is a terribly conservative company in some ways, and their output reflects that. Yes, of c...

My LCS has an iffy relationship with my comic-book orders - erstwhile comix fiend. July 23rd, 2015. My LCS has an iffy relationship with my comic-book orders. I'm back from my local comic shop. They seem to have an iffy relationship with my orders, but the proprietor is trying. Last week I mentioned that I didn't get the second issue of an miniseries I'm following (and not naming here, apparently). Today he handed me the second and fourth issues. "And do you have this one? No, not yet.". Maybe I should h...

Below are the 1 most recent journal entries recorded in the " Philippos Fourty-Two. August 5th, 2015. Got to the comic shop yesterday to get a copy of Diamond Previews before they sold out. For all that I keep worrying about my budget, I had just one comic from my pull list waiting. Oh, well, I could have just taken that and been done, but I decided to look at the racks. I picked up the last copies of the last two issues of the Edmondson/Noto Black Widow. Where Russian botspam is a rarity.

Al Rio and Fever Moon - erstwhile comix fiend...

Al Rio and Fever Moon - erstwhile comix fiend. August 5th, 2015. Al Rio and Fever Moon. Recently, I found a graphic album of something called Fever Moon. At the public library. It had art by the late Al Rio, so I checked it out. When I finally, weeks later, sat down to read it, the author's foreword surprised me:. When Del Rey told me I could pick my artist, it was a done deal. I would have written anything to get a chance to work with Al Rio, whose art I've long admired. I think Al dying in 2012 was one...

I don't know how many of the TV shows I was watching before the Xmas break I'm going to pick up again. I still haven't seen last week's Supergirl. And maybe I'm OK with that. I have been watching the pile of dumb that is Quantico. Is the one I'm really clinging to; Whitney Cummings is on it now, and it's wacky. Again, an...

Below are the 2 most recent journal entries recorded in the " Philippos Fourty-Two. December 4th, 2015. 7 finally showed up, and I think that's some months late. I haven't read it yet. The last issue of the current Sensation Comics. Was on the stands, and I got that because it's the last issue and a Trina Robbins script. This concept seems to have run out of steam. Next month, they're starting some new Wonder Woman limited series, which I'm curious about, but not enough to buy. Entries. Some of the F...

Ended up being more than I'd hoped for, but the path to completion was difficult, and not everyone survived. We lost Al Rio along the way. I think Al dying ...

Below are the 12 most recent journal entries recorded in the " Philippos Fourty-Two. June 15th, 2016. Earth One is not Earth-1. I bought Grant Morrison's Wonder Woman: Earth One. In hopes of snarking about it online. With bluefall, with whom I deludedly imagine I have some kind of fandom-based friendship. Yeah Well, it shows some research, but then so did Phil Jimenez's Wondy run, and we saw how that went. But I hadn't been real pleased with the first volume of Superman: Earth One. August 5th, 2015.
