Dazzler Thor.

Things I have to return to the library today

Actual conversation with my six year old daughter near the end of disc one:

Me: I wonder what's going on with Snape?

Her: I wonder when they're going to mention Harry Potter?

Something I'm really loving about this book is how much it shares my obsession with the subtle changes a place experiences over time, and how that changes people's experience of it. What was it like to walk around my city 100 years shop? 1000? 20?

Love these books. Ed's history of hacking, Wizziwig, is also a lot of fun.

Happy 20th anniversary to my local comic shop Vault of Midnight!

My friend wrote a web-based book on the experimental Google Play Editions platform. One of the characters has dementia and the text moves about as you read, though it settles enough to get through. Interesting stuff (and a good story, too!).

Parts of this book take place in a heightened reality where words expand into multiple meanings. Love this sort of thing, and Moore unsurprisingly does it very well.

Because I love stupid jokes.

What a superbly beautiful book.

If this doesn't make you want to read this book I don't know what to say

About a quarter of the way through now and it's hitting an interesting stride. Recent chapters are more linear and less mystical, tying the various people and eras together into a lineage. No idea where it's going, but I'm in for the ride.

University library = the best. Read the omnibus as pdf from a Humble Bundle, but after 1200 pages of that I gotta go print.

A strange approach to a relaunch, but I enjoyed it. I really like shifting narrative/unreliable narrator stories, and that's what's going on here as WW tries to sort out the hash DC has made of her family tree and origins.

Snapping this just to add to my TBR

Uh oh here we go

The panel that earned Green Arrow a place on my subscription list.

Happy New Comic Book Day! A couple new things, a couple favs.

Well, Comic Con badges certainly are fancy this year.

A little quick comics read.

Oh this glorious thing

Reading this reminds me a lot of Alisdair Grey's 'Lanark.' That book was a sci-fi autobiography, whereas this is the story of a town over 2000 years. Similar tone, both excellent.

Enjoyed this a lot, mainly because of the point of view character, who is one of my great favorites. There were some other nice reveals and character moments, and the explanation of what's been off about the New 52 universe is... apt. Less thrilled about the baddie, & caption narration was a crutch.

Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze's Black Panther is stellar.

Have not yet started this myself, but my wife says it's the best book I've brought home outside Karen Russell.

Tasteless self promo. Won't make it a habit, promise.

Another great pickup from BEA and a nice little break from the big Alan Moore epic. Plus Raina is just cool.

Oh god this series is so much fun! Doom covered in squirrels tops Doom conquering the multiverse every time.

Audio books for family drives. In this one Jim Dale starts pronouncing the t in Voldemort. I take it this is when the movies started coming out?

"Theis whille beye veery haerdt foure yew."

Alan Moore is great at evoking terror with a fairly innocent statement.

Love stories like this. Video game history about the people and cultures behind the phenomenon. Another fun BEA pickup.

"Your problem, Warry, is you have an idea and you think it's a cerebral hemorrhage."

My big #BEA16 galley achievement. Can not wait to start in!
