Squishing ants on burning circuits

Comics

No reason left to leave behind a task that seems daunting, frightening and as pleasant as ripping through pages of comics before the silverfish attack. And if not the silverfish, the hoary hordes of other insects, some of which are near imperceptible to the naked eye.

Black Panther 2099

Wonderfully pulsating art. The story, however, kind of walks out and leaves the milk in the cupboard, unaware of the fact that the milk is liquid and not of the powdered variety. With the limitations of the issue being a one shot, a refreshing hark back to when simple panel transitions involved days as opposed to winks. Empty.

Elvira #145

Apart from the heels, Cassandra Peterson is pretty much naked on this cover. One number off when looking for a letter inside. No idea if the letter was published at all in the first place. Remarkably, there is no memory of the main feature story. The back up on Hollywood, yes. The main, nothing.

PVP #0

Thrown for a spin in the orientation twice on reading, a nice collection of rehash from the PVP series. For a sampler of the regular, it really doesn't leave much in the way of connected storylines. Each shot of comedy drops an apparent abandon that has a quite an ear for jelly shots.

Invincible #0

Crumpling up aluminium foil doesn't work to easily blind the roaming feral cats. No idea if they chew on the metal sheets either. Well crafted issue to catch up on the series.

Radioactive Man #197

Were the excessive use of exclamations on the cover no indication, the rest of the comic is a delirious homage to the silver age Jack Kirby superhero experience. Outstandingly bold, the eyebrows rise up and down trying to figure out if this really works for those without having ever read that kind of material. Looked pretty damn fun in any event.

Shaolin Cowboy #3

Another very odd exploration of the psyche.
