If you get the reference, you get the title.
I wanted one after that news. Here’s a hint to the reference.
Personally I like the narrationless version better, but I bet you heard Goliath’s speech in your heads anyway, or nothing about this comic will work for you. Sorry about that.
Over at The Clutter Reports this week I didn’t have a chance to do decluttering but I did come across a video about how reading your clutter can tell you how you should be decluttering. So there’s still a post this week.
If you’re curious how this year’s Free Comic Book Day went for me, I did the usual X-Twitter quickie review fest. Now comes the deep dives, which means for the next few weeks I’ll be putting the current batch of “Yesterday’s Comic” on hold for Free Comic Book Day reviews as well as three old comics, two of which are reprints, a comic released for Superman Day, and some old Batman Day comics as one of the two stores I went to had some old free stock to go through. I didn’t get The Phantom as I didn’t see any, but most of my list was available between the two stores. There’s also some surprises. The only one I kind of want to review is Space Adventures because we’re almost done with the Captain Atom tales and the sooner I can stop reading that the better. Might do those on Sunday or something, but that’s more writing time for me since it’s an anthology. Dropping the Saturday article link in favor of those last two or so issues I have to read is also a plan. I’ll decide before this time next week.
At one of the stores they were having a contest to promote a comic signing later this month and I managed to obtain a later edition of Watchmen and two sequels: Doomsday Clock and Rorschach. No Before Watchmen but with or without it I’m not sure I won. Watchmen I now have no excuse not to read and review, Doomsday Clock was supposed to return what the New 52 had taken away before giving control of the DC Universe back to the guy who created the New 52 in the first place, and while Tom King is probably the right guy to do a comic about a broken superhero and Before Watchmen wasn’t the best received…it’s still Tom King. Not sure how I’ll review these, and there’s another graphic novel I got for free because it was released with a misprint and they’re giving away the “misprint edition” with the right pages just shoved in there, so I’ll have to review that one in the future as well. At least that isn’t a trade collection, so I don’t have to decide whether to review the individual issues or the story as a whole.
Meanwhile the other articles (depending on what happens with the trades and graphic novel) should be business as usual. The next chapter of Tom Clancy’s Op-Center: Mirror Image is coming up, and we’ll have to see what I do with other stuff versus whatever there is to talk about in the world of storytelling. Hoping to keep the productive streak going, and have a great week, everyone! Whatever’s coming will hopefully be worth your time.
