I know it’s been awhile since you’ve had my in your weekly newsletter. But surprisingly summer tends to be much much busier for me than any other time of the year. But the season is winding down and the sheer number of unread books in my collection is staggering, I still bought them anyway with every intention of reading them. Silly me, over the near 3 months without reading the majority of my books I have accumulated 2 full long boxes and 3 short boxes of unread comics. But I always managed to read every Captain America andGreen Lantern affiliated book without question. But I have begun to read as many comics as possible in the past week. Every chance I get, I have a comic book in my hand. The recent activity is because of necessity, but because one book reminded me how much I LOVE the art of comic storytelling. One book has made me remember how much fun comics can be. It is neither of the major two that I mentioned, or Proof, my favorite indie book on the market. But it is DC’s experiment that stole my heart, Wednesday Comics is my favorite book to come out all year. |

How Alan got his groove back...
The full page art work, with the panels that are actual size of the art, the quick stories, and the sheer amount of fun and pulpiness that comes along with it. Now they may not be the most thought provoking, but the book has rekindled the magic I felt as a child reading comic strips on Sunday, but adding the characters I love today. The creators involved are all top notch and know how to tell a quick one page story. Only one story doesn’t work for me, the Wonder Woman section is simply a mess. I skip it every week now. But I was highly surprised by the book and is at the top of my stack every week. Try it out if you haven’t, it’s worth the price and might rekindle your love and adoration for the comic medium. |
