| @southerncross How is Zod so far? The past six months have been pretty busy since I started my new job. Steep learning curve, but I got to read…finally! Absolute Power #1 is a fun read. If you liked JLA Tower of Babel story arc, this is Waid’s more refined version which is part of the Dawn of DC initiative. Knight Terrors and House of Brainiac set up pieces to get to this point. I hope that this event continues to be good. Zatanna #1 is a slow burn. I talked to a comic publisher about this style of writing and part of what is missing for me is the rhythm. Every other page is supposed to bring some conflict so the reader wants to turn the page. The A-ha moment was the last page, but it wasn’t a Corinthian A-ha moment like in Sandman. Maybe the suspense / horror tones make this a DC Black Label, but I am not sure. I am on the fence about getting the next issue. At least the Artgerm cover variant was nice. |

| @jake I haven't read a single issue yet, I just assumed it was going to be like a 4 or 5 issue series and I was going to buy it and sit down and read them over a couple of days, We're up to issue 7 so I'm thinking I better not wait and possibly start on the series. | ||

@dpiercy Nice! Way brings back that Morrison Vertigo vibe.        Not so new, but adding to my Mignola collection. |

| @jake I love Mignola Batman covers. He did a couple of Detectives as you know. The Death in the Family. Cosmic Odyssey where he did covers and interior art from memory |

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross Oh geez, you found my kryptonite! I have about 120+ Mignola related comics, such as all the original The Defenders, Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Baltimore, and the rest of BPRD. He mostly inked The Defenders but he showed me a couple pages that he ghost-drew. I don’t have all the TEC covers and only the TPB of Cosmic Odyssey, so if your LCS has them, I can give them a call. I don’t remember if I posted any, but here is a sample of my PC.     I remember when this first came out and I couldn’t wait for Mignola to sign it!     I have about a dozen more Mignola signed that need to be VSPed but more for sentimental reasons than value. I am excited about The Crooked Man and you probably saw the thread. |

Speaking of The Goon, Eric Powell Drawings, Sketches & Such 2024 is Eric’s new sketchbook for the first time in almost 10 years commemorating the Goon’s 25th anniversary! Like the action figure, the new Longbox Heroes The Goon 25th Anniversary Action Figure Variant has sold out  I would actually be more interested if a Franky variant was made available. |

@jake I went to The Goon 20th anniversary party event when Eric still lived in Nashville. It was fun.  |

| Hey, I am on time today! This week’s pickups. This one always confused me. Both DC and Marvel have their own take on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Marvel’s version.   DC’s version can produce clones, like breeding like rabbits :~>  New clone-type in this issue, but not a fan of the interior art. The story reminds me of G.L.O.W. with the Sirens as the faces and the Rabbits as the heels!  You think that Supes fighting The Authority like spark interest back in this one?      |
