Gonna try to step away from using social media for at least a week, current news of a new USA backed war is just too sick to deal with and also discuss/promote comics. But I'm around on messaging, email, etc.

I originally read these in b&w reprints, but later read in color, Wood's choices really bring out the scuzziness of the writing

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.

it's really something that will come alive to people when they sit down to read it, Josh is (to me) one of the best living storytellers in comics, no description of the book will do justice to how it feels when you read this. It's like watching the story be performed in front of you, on paper.

i hate hate hate when teaching, doing 2 step verification 3 times before i can start class: first for class computer, which is too outdated to access attendance, so another for my own computer to log on to network, then again to do attendance.

another problem is how stupid publishers consider their readers, which is based on them not engaging with their readers at all or really knowing anything about them.
