I was reading Silk #5, and was enjoying the expressive, action packed art and looked to see who drew it. "Oh, that's the artist they were talking about at the forum." (Veronica Fish). It was good stuff.

And Helen Chen is killing it on covers.



She (Chen) drew interior on one of my favorite Gotham Academy issues (the teaming of Maps and Damian)


Oh and Matthew, I will be getting that Big Trouble book for sure. http://www.craveonline.com/entertainment/952913-exclusive-boom-studios-announces-big-trouble-little-china-illustrated-novel

Yeah Veronica's style is super rad. I really dig it.

Kraven the Hunter has the most awesome van.

This MUST be witchcraft.

I picked up Max Landis's Superman: American Alien series (what is out so far.) It's pretty great. I've never been a big Superman fan but this year, with Greg Pak on Action Comics and the de-powering, I've really taken a shine to the character and this mini-series is pure joy. (even if some of it isn't, ha.)

I really enjoy Greg Pak's work. Haven't checked out his DC stuff yet though.

Sometimes, I think Newspaper Spider-Man is just TRYING to get on the Comics Curmudgeon's page.

And now I have a new Facebook cover (or at least one for after the Easter Uprising anniversary period is over).

The Unbelievable Gwenpool has my attention. It's like Deadpool, The Tick, and Kick Ass all had a baby.

Huh. No wonder I don't like the current Superman stuff. Lex Luthor is writing it.

Oooh. Picked up the complete Bone for $7 from a bookstore's going out of business sale about 10 years ago and just adored it. Can't wait to get more.

Bone is a fantastic book.  When we did a top 50 comics LoC, I ended up putting it on my number 1.  It's one of the few fiction comics (usually I give them biographies/autobiographies) that my mother and sister have read (though my mom admits to being a little embarrassed reading it in public).
