Time away from the screen

Falling back into the rhythm of having the eyeballs taken out each day from the computer screen screams for relief. As always, solace and comfort is taken in the panels of the pages within the comic books. At least they don't have monstrous and unforgiving backlighting...

Amazing Spider-Man #514

Concluding the sensationalistic Sins Past story arc, the car is pulling back, the throttle eased off a little. With one of the characters fighting for her transmutagenic life, the other is out getting his nuts on. Typical fashion shows up the maniacal and grevious nature of Norman, his disdain and clouded judgement doing much harm. A wrapping final, there appears to be a glimmer of hope for the two newcomers in the universe.

Ultimate Spider-Man #69

Picking this issue up to string back a friend into the fold would have met muted results. Second half of a two-parter, it's a lesson learnt kind of issue. Nothing outside of one teenager imparting this sense of heroism. Uplifting.

Kabuki: The Alchemy #2

It's as if the story is taking place twice over within the same stream. Incredible. The artwork is all over the place in terms of finding one medium to settle on, which is great and is rather liberating. Tracks across the page which include little tidbits about the scene affect this whisper/aside detail that just works so well in this context.

Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Crisis #1

Out of the window and the hilarity stands up straight on the podium. The Futurama and Simpsons universe really work well rubbing up against each other. Right now, it's all a little bit hazy.
