I Read Comics!

Well deserved. It is a very satisfying read.

I’d read it!

Drop something GREEN 💚

How about Orions?

It was a pretty good issue. Good conversations as Peter is brought up to speed.

Am I alone in wishing Peter would just tell May about his other life and predicament? How much can one woman overlook/forgive?

The ending was pretty, uh, shocking, and looking forward to the next installment.

The fantastic center spread shows a dramatic battle. Story and art by Brett Bean.

…body?).

D’Orc, his shield, and that chicken draw me in, and I want to follow their adventures. Brett Bean is telling and drawing a terrific story, and Jean-Francois Beaulieu makes it vibrant.

The chicken that D’Orc killed accidentally with his possessed shield has a ghost head separated from his body. Story and art by Brett Bean.

…discover he is a Light/Dark creature. He carries a talking shield that just wants him to kill, but D’Orc doesn’t want to.

He finds himself in fights, though, and ends up killing an innocent creature with the shield, who then becomes a companion (a ghost chicken with it’s head separated from its…

D’Orc defeats two gangs of Light and Dark warriors with his possessed shield—and then finds the unicorn meat burned. They walk away in search of a Gravy Gulch meal. Story and art by Brett Bean.

And there’s a backstory about fighting factions of Light and Dark, a middle part of the land called the Scar, and a prophecy about a Light/Dark creature who will end the world as they know it.

Intriguing!

It’s told with great humor, as our nameless hero is christened D’Orc when the warriors….

Unlike I Hate Fairyland, I thought D’Orc was a lot of fun. I picked up the reprint of #1 on the recommendation of my LCS crew, and they rarely steer me wrong.

First of all, the issue is off to a great start by including a map with great names like Pits of Purgatory and Frost Elefant Graveyard. Yay!

…groove of something different. I want to give it a chance.

…decades. I’d probably be cranky, too, but I want something more. Think of Rennie from I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer or Sam from Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees—or even Riley from The Slasher‘s Apprentice.

I’ll return to it because sometimes it just takes a few issues to get into the…

Cover to I Hate Fairyland Vol 1: Madly Ever After by Skottie Young shows Gertrude standing on a mushroom and holding a bloody double sided axe over her left shoulder. A lit bomb is in her right hand.

I wanted to like I Hate Fairyland. It seems to have the element I like.

Just a little over one issue in, I put it down.

Gertrude is—so far at least—a character I want to follow. She’s murderous just because she’s cranky at not being able to find the key to return home from Fairyland after several…

Agreed!

I Hate Fairyland Vol 1 (Skottie Young) Ghost Cage (Caleb Goellner, Nick Dragotta) The Sixth Gun Vol 1 (Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt) Exploit #1 (Laura Hudson, Tim Leong, Emiliana Pinna) Mary Sue #1-3 (Meghan Fitzmartin, Lisa Steele; CA by Sweeney Boo for #2)

Thanks to @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social Customer Appreciation Day’s 25% off sale, I picked up a few things to try (in addition to the additional TPs for the series I’m already reading).

The store was packed, but the long line moved quickly because they have great staff—and 4 or 5 registers open. 👍

Whta I love about the DC alternate covers is that the original cover is inside. Can’t display it, but nice to have. 🙂

Getting two covers makes paying the higher price somewhat worthwhile. At least I receive a nice discount from my LCS!

I wasn’t aware this was in question.

Day 7: Wasp

Avengers #340 (1991; Ron Lim)

Jan was kind of a bland character for a long time—though certainly having great moments—until she became the Avengers chairman. That really showed her potential.

LOVE this cover!

I will admit that he’s not as exciting a character as he once was. Luke received much better treatment.

However, I still have a soft spot for him, and the Deadly Hands of K’un-Lun is off to a decent start, and he has a part in it.

Enjoyed this different take on an Avengers series.

I remember this one!

Let’s get to know our March #comicskycoverartists!

Day 7: Stanley “Artgerm” Lau

When placing my FOC order for the upcoming Batwoman #1, I chose his cover art.

Laura Kinney Wolverine (2024) #2 and #3.

And her team up with Laura Kinney!

And is a GLAAD winner for Avengers Academy! 👏👏👏👏👏

I also chose Captain Canuck! #4. :-)

Elektra as Daredevil really works for me.

I laughed more than I should have at that joke.

Me when I’m called “Trekkie Freak.”

That run really started out with a bang!

It came out just over a year after I started reading, and I was blown away.
