I got a rad Bowie GN from my boss for Christmas; BOWIE: Stardust, Rayguns, & Moonage Daydreams. The art is gorgeous.

That looks fantastic. Aaaand wishlisted.

Christmas saved. Thanks!

Did you have a good comic idea for a loved one?

Well, somebody did. "Huh, there's a Bowie graphic novel", I said, exactly at the point where one kid was staring at a blank wall without any gift idea for the other. Christmas hero, just for one day.

So I did a bit more delving into this whole Fletcher Hanks thing and, while I'm not buying anything for myself between now and Christmas, assuming I don't get it I'll be using the Amazon gift card my mom always gives me every year to pick up a copy. It looks kind of amazing.

Well, I did use that aforementioned gift card for this book and it showed up today. Looking forward to digging into it once I get through the 1st Hellboy Library Edition that Alison got me. Looks like quite the beast!

I got the hardcover collection of DCeased Dead Planet from B&N with a gift card. About halfway through and really digging it. Anyone can die at any time. It's interesting seeing who has assumed the mantle of Superman, Batman and Green Lantern among others. And really creepy use of Plastic Man! I was super skeptical of this prior to reading but I'm enjoying the hell out of the entire concept.

Glad you're enjoying it, Andrew!

I read Hellboy - Seeds Of Destruction last night, it holds up really well. Had a lot of fun with it, hadn't read it in at least a decade.

It's great! Now I want to get the other 2 collections I need.

Started digging into that Fletcher Hanks hardcover last night, so far I really dig it. The Stardust stories are completely bonkers and I love the dialogue in these stories way more than I should.

You'd also probably dig the current DC Vs. Vampires run that's being published. I think #3 was the most recent one. It's pretty fun stuff.

What?!?@! How have I not heard about this? You just made a mandatory trip to the comic shop part of my Saturday agenda.

Picked up the 3 issues of DC VS. Vampires today. I've read the first 2 and am enjoying it so far. Not crazy about the art, it's okay but not outstanding.

Yeah, good but not great art. The book is a lot of fun though! I'm curious to see where Tynion takes things. I believe this will be his last work for DC.

Yeah, it's pretty damn good! I finished #3 today SPOILERS - and it was pretty shocking when GL turned WW. Really digging this and super curious to see what happens. I gotta be on the lookout for new issues, post here if you know what week they come out!

Heheh, it is some amazingly off-kilter stuff. So much fun. I love it when he does a panel showing the kung-fu grip.
