Cropping comics off the top of dead soil

Steinbeck writes a novel thick and heavy on the mind. It's back a chapter to stand ahead with the perception of time passing faster and slower at the same time. Makes no difference in the scheme of things, it's all about the mind and keeping atop the game. For in the dark there is nothing worse than falling over a year.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #8

Takes a turn for the "What If..." as Uncle Ben is the one that survives that fatal period in the young burgeoning career of Spider-Man. Nowhere does he utter the oft-wrought line about power and responsibility as his tub hangs a little on the overflow. Petulant little brat this Peter is, from the way things are going. Finding out where the mystery of reality ends into the harsh face of speculative probability is a tough and intriguing hammer on the nose. Smells like the door needs to be closed.

Futurama #24

Cracking out the wise, is there anything else the Planet Express crew does do beyond that? Not that that is a bad thing, but it could be an overhanging thing. Over into each other, it's a jump into Arthurian times that isn't entirely. Zingers fly out mad in the end pages, all over with the computers and slight tweaks on the centuries old legend.

Archie and Friends #100

Infuriation is reading this fold over tale where The Veronicas and The Archies are in a battle of the bands only they find themselves both out of the race when a greasy goatee pops up out of nowhere. Three stories and none of them really feel full to the point of a run into a smooth pace. Best thing about it is that they do finish in a few pages, cutting the wait time for the next issue to zero by the close of the back cover.
