Just quick post about some things I read on the plane ride to Arizona. Mostly I've been catching up on Smallville episodes, but I found time for a couple of tidbits:
Local #1: Thumbs up. But this isn't super heros, it may not be your cup of tea. It's slice of life, but it's got conflict and believability. This issue was told in a kinda Rashamon style, with the main character imagining how something will end multiple times in her head. It's good. It felt real. And I loved how the art changed with each re-imagining. Same artist, but slight tweaks to the characters that were felt prominently when we saw how events actually unfolded. Thanks, Brian Wood. Good stuff.
Hellblazer #213: Meh, but a good meh. If I followed the character more (I read the Azzarello run, but have sparcely read any other issues) I would find this issue really really fascinating. Still, even without being well versed in John Constantine's world, it was still a very interesting issue. Solid stuff, I just am not familiar enough with the character and his overall story to fully appreciate it.
That's it! Now back to the turkey!
