A Vicious Circle | Mattson Tomlin

Two immortal assassins from a dystopian future are trapped in endless battle. Each time one of them kills someone, they are transported together to a different time and place. Can they put aside their differences long enough to save humanity, or will their violent nature lock them in a cyclical pattern of death? Lee Bermejo is possible my favorite artist working today, and he gets to flex some serious skill in this wild, stimulating thriller.

Jerrold Hogle‘s “gothic matrix” suggests four key qualities of gothic texts: an antiquated space, a hidden secret from the past, a physical or psychological haunting, and an oscillation between earthly reality and the supernatural.

The one-and-only Everett True puts a “food crank“ in his place.

I created an A-Z challenge that includes everything you could want in an A-Z challenge. This includes titles, authors, characters, items (on the covers), and a scavenger prompt.

If you have a Canva account, I also made a template to add all your books. That link will be in the comments because it's super long.

use #atozchallenge if you join and let me know

Accidents and Old Lace and Other Stories | Al Feldstein, Graham Ingels

My husband has been wanting the Graham Ingles "Artist's Edition" from IDW for awhile. When he told me about it months ago, he casually added, "It's an oversized book". Cue my extreme shock on picking this thing up for his Christmas gift- where was I supposed to hide it?! Anyway, I managed to keep it under wraps through today, and here he is finally enjoying his prize. Oversized indeed! ?

willaful LOL! Be careful that doesn't eat him!

I ordered a garden decoration from my sister's wishlist that turned out to be enormous and her birthday isn't til March! I think I'm going to have to give it to her early, because I have no place to store it.

This reminded me of “Someone‘s Killing the Children” & the Serial Killer convention in “Sandman”

Picture a town of evil clowns with a blowtorch, murderous puppet boyfriends, “Jigsaw” but less committed, koala-hat-wearing garden fanatic & someone who goes by the Fckmaster.

Lotsa dead law enforcement, some Byzantine kills, an evil granny since we all have one.

This may be a one-off Dark Horse series. Sad if so. I‘d keep following the storyline.

Terrible.
I grew up watching ultra macho war movies, especially those set in Vietnam, so I am not against the genre. But this book tries to sell you the old tale of ‘war is hell‘ plus revenge today for a crime in the past. But the reveal of what the retribution is for, left me hollow inside. Once revealed, the heavily misogynistic themes of the story are understood to be the framework of the entire book, and not a villain to be rejected.

WeAreLegion I should not have used the word ‘misogynistic‘ (as there are no female characters in the book) to define the incident that spawns the revenge central to this story. Instead, I should have said: this narrative is way too simplistic and heavy handed to appropriately engage the conversation about the incident itself. It requires a much more nuanced and mature story. Here, it is reduced to a ‘maguffin‘, used only to move the narrative forward. 8mo
