Hey, Cooke's "Parker: The Hunter" came out and it was pretty cool! Fucking hardcover prices, though...

I want it, but I can't afford it at the moment.

Wednesday Comics really isn't working for me. A couple are pretty, but overall quality is lacking. Think I'll just spend 40 seconds reading the two or three decent ones in the store.

I hear that. Only Kyle Baker and Paul Pope's strips have given me any hope of thrills, and even those are tempered by the surprising lack of ambition with WC.Speaking of which, WTF Justice League of Robinson.

Why does DC not realize how toxic the OG New Teen Titans characters are (Batwang excepted)? New JLA line-up is essential TNTT + Mon-El + Green Lantern - Jericho (which, really, might be enough).

okay, the Deadman is awesome as well. About to read Cooke's Parker thing.

One third through The Hunter, quite lovely. Did not realize it was based on my favourite Mel Gibson movie. Well, second favourite. Maybe third, I haven't seen Ransom for a while.I do realize that the whole 50s/early 60s is Cooke's thing, and lord knows, you gotta do what you're best at, but I kinda feel like a lot of it is old hat with him. I mean, compare it with Dave Bullock's Deadman in Wed Comx. Bullock has a nearly identical style to Cooke, but I still feel a freshness to his layouts.

Just got back from Comic-Con with a gigantic pile of acquisitions, most of which I still have to read (e.g. the new Love & Rockets and the "Abstract Comics" anthology and R. Sikoryak's "Masterpiece Comics" and and and...)
Loved the very end of Legion of 3 Worlds--I don't think it'd have worked with any other character, but Johns has been setting Prime up as the ultimate pissy entitled fanboy for years, and the ending just felt like the perfect payoff for that.

That's a funny way to spell Lee Marvin.

Heh.
ANYWAYS:
CITIZEN REX #1DETECTIVE COMICS #ONE JILLION OR SOMETHINGWEDNESDAY COMICS #4 - For what it's worth: 1)FLASH 2)DEADMAN 3)THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF ADAM STRANGE ON A STRANGE PLANET 4)SGT. ROCK and, uh, 5)BATMAN, probably. WONDER WOMAN makes my desert island list cuz I can't remember a damn thing about it no matter how many times I read the strip - a quality that would come in handy in complete isolation.

Anyway, for me, WEDNESDAY COMICS #4 and uh -- that's it.

Citizen Rex = new Gilbert/Mario Hernandez thing from Dark Horse.

oh. hmm.

I'm making an effort to NOT read Wednesday comics until I have a stack of about six of them, cuz that's what I would do if I had been around at Dick Tracy/Orphan Annie/Lil Abner days.

The Citizen Rex comic is fun, looking forward to seeing where it goes, which could be anywhere.
