Holy shit this was the worst week for me, I have to go to the hospital because faces suddenly started to get paralyzed. I had to be stabbed three times to even draw any blood, and then something in my spinal cord was taken out, Result, i was just in the wind of air conditioning for too long. When I went home in a daze I got a call from my work saying I was being fired because I left work and didn't send a note right away. I still have a deadline before I get kicked out but my God Germany hates its working class.

I love my drama more in Comics, so beginning we.

Scott McCloud and Bill Kartalopoulos pressed us The Best American Comics 2014, a collection of fascinating up-and-coming comic artists, some of whom are extremely big even today, and I generally love anthologies like this where you see young talent growing.

Pandora's Eyes is about Pandora, a young Women who to some extent learns the dark secrets of her family, I think Milo Manara's art is a feast for the eyes.

I love Western comics and so you get a Doppelpack, first the more Italo Western inspired Loveless, the tuff couple of Wes Cutter and Ruth. More in likes of Lucky Luke is Victor & Clint about Story is about a young boy named Victor who escapes to a fantasy world of the Wild West to escape the schoolyard bullies, it is interesting look on the Imagination and the imaginative nature of children.

I love old horror films, Lugosi: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Dracula is a biographische comic of the first icon of Horror cinema and his complicated life.

I'm a child of the 2000s and I grew up with the first movement of influencers or today's internet stars, we were so blindly optimistic that we were better than the "classic" media, and I notice we were stupid and created something bad. Killer Influences is about a serial killer and a true crime influencer who team up to get fame and man it is on point of his satire how how every content on YouTube is basically used for its own profit, because it doesn't matter if it's violent against people or just gossip.

Quick Stops: Anecdotes From the Annals of the Askewniverse is a fun collection of stories from around the Askewniverse ( so all films from Kevin Smith around the Quick stops ), perfect for high sundays.

Seoul Before Sunrise is the story of late worker Seong-Ji, how life is kind of in ruins, until she meets a mysterious woman who likes to photograph and paint abandoned apartments, and thus an interesting drama emerges about self-discovery, creativity and trying to get through this shitty labyrinth of monotony of modern life.

You know, Germany, an interesting irony, unfortunately, we are big consumers of video games but we ourselves are involved in the production and participation in the creative medium. Unfortunately, I'll say that in short, it can have many factors, for example in general it things are not very popular here in universities, but at the same time I would also say it's a bit complicated, that hasn't really managed to create a stable culture of its own, but still we hav legends but many unfortunately got down Daedalic Entertainment was a Darling of criticis for their own point and click Adventures, But unfortunately they wanted to do something bigger, bit off more than they could swallow and created Gollum, Piranha Bytes RPGS were also my Childhood with Risen and Gothic, also unfortunately down. Sure yager entertainment still exists who made Spec Ops: The Line that handelt a mirror back of the "Golden age" of military shooter and Crytek is still works on Crysis 4. The Surge from the oldest dev from Germany Deck13, they kind of a Wundertüte, and you can really see that they are always trying new things. The Surge is a Souls-like, It's a science fiction that takes place in a dystopian future where the earth is dying and the gap between rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger. CREO is company that likes to "help" the world, They created rockets and a chemical substance that made the climate more stable for a time, at the same time they also developed cybermetic equipment to make people stronger for the working class and their workers. we play someone who is in a wheelchair and has no choice to work for this company in order to even be able to walk, but in the operation for the rig was A mistake happened with the neurolinking and that's why he fell into a coma, when he wake up he suddenly found himself in the graveyard for astro scrap and noticed that all the employees who had such a rig themselves and all the machines had gone completely crazy and wanted to kill everything, In order to find out what this madness means and stop it, we have to manage to fight our way through the entire complex to stop it and find out what the f*** went wrong, or if it really went wrong at all. I started playing the first title again, precisely because of what I would say was my shittiest day, as you can really see how you as a worker are simply nothing, as you often see by institutions, I'll just say exploited like now and just viewed as a tool. Heck you a fusion of their Tools in the Game, A big part of the game is also getting new equipment that you consciously separate from your opponents, aka you just have to steal the equipment that doesn't belong to you anyway in order to get better, capitalism but with more fun Gameplay. The more you, I say, improve yourself, the more sausages you become like a machine, which is kind of interesting to think about, which is why your environment also dehumanizes you. I'm also really one thing: I love the German dubbing, especially because they also use their own Berlin accent for many of the characters, and the Berlin accent is often strongly associated with the working class, which I think is really suitable for a setting like that, so you kind of notice that the ones further down there sound different to the well-authorized ones above.

Now myth and legends told im Comics.

I did a long post of the ideas of the The Writer, about Jewish folklore and someone who is chosen to wield Solomon's ring, and I think it really shows perfectly per se just how mythology can be everywhere, regardless of whether it comes from the inside group or from outside, and how important it is that we tell our stories, but also can change them.

C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table is probably my favorite work from Daniele Di Nicuolo with Tom Taylor. Daniele Di Nicuolo has so a power and follow in his work. C.O.R.T is about kids who become the next knights of the round table, The sword in the stone flew over to them from the British Isles in order to select them with the rest of the armor and weapons of the other knights, who also have the souls of them. But a mysterious organization hunts them now and race it now started.

Majnun and Layla: Songs from Beyond the Grave is beautiful and inspired by the classic Persian poem of romance and tragedy. And it made me crying.

Hellboy is must if you like folklore, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Monster of Nivola is about the Hellboy hunt of a mysterious monster on Sardinien, and is a hunting look of a beautiful Island and his horror.

The Fellspyre Chronicles: Book is a Dark-Fantasy-Graphic-Novel and man a awsome one, about the fight against the last god, about heroes who failed and the next ones who now have to try to put up with the crap, it's really epic and I wish there were more comics.

INFINITY COMIC from the Marvel app are interesting, on one page you have really well-made gag comics that are really perfect for in between, and every now and then there are very interesting experiments like this one with Realmguard, a high fantasy Version of the Avengers that is fun and makes me want more.

I am so lucky that my friends are helping me, it was a shitty week and the depression makes also not better. I take my strong medication, have to do facial exercises and believe me I always miss eating crunchy things. Man it is shit and hate it. especially on Thursday when it suddenly started, I was really happy that they really helped me with my everyday life, I had actually been extremely groggy after the whole hospital stay and I hate paying the bill now.

And now Sci-Fi.

Elephantmen, Volume 2: Fatal Diseases let's spin that fuck up sci-fi world with human-animal hybrids and it's more about interesting questions about one's own way of life, and let alone whether these creatures still have the right to continue to exist or, I would say, are doomed to die out.

Imperial War tie-in are so fascinating, to see the conflicts from all those sides, we hav Exiles with the Shi'ar Majestrix Xandra and Professor Charles Xavier on the run. Nova - Centurion on the fight to safe the Worldmind and IMPERIAL GUARDIANS where the SUPER-SKRULL knows a important secret.

My friend Lisa recommended me those to Elseworlds, especially because she also told me it's also a perfect example of what it's like to be a stranger in a strange world, and I really see, she misses her old home. Supergirl: Survive is about a teen age Zor-El who trying to survive the cosmus Baby Kal-El, two kids in a dangerous nowhere.

Superman: Father of Tomorrow is but a Jor-El who came to Earth, as a grown man who is now trying to improve the earth, not only with superpowers but also with his super knowledge and technology.

Well, really hav a better week as myself and keep reading?

you know I did a post where I said, that I actually love crossovers and said most people don't understand what a real crossover is, and a bunch of people then commented and they involuntarily confirmed my point, and again a crossover in the true sense, two things that are completely independent come together.

And we start with a comic with that thesis. Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw Crossover. Imagine the biggest comic event of all time happening, with crossovers of almost everything that has ever been in comic form colliding, and unfortunately in our reality. On 11. Januar 2017 in Denver, Colorado the so-called event manifested itself, because of the whole chaos basically the whole city was put under a force field, well, bunches of superpowers where unleashed, but not all what came in our World has powers. We follow cosplayer Ellie (short for Ellipsis), who works in one of the last comic shops. Her life changes suddenly when she meets Ava - a little girl who is obviously a real comic character and was able to escape from the dome. and so a journey begins to come back under the dome. what I find most fascinating is a bunch of characters come really from other comic series, I don't want to reveal which ones right away, because it's very interesting to find out, especially because it's absolutely fascinating how they're used and it gets pretty meta.

Crossovers are not just an American thing, they also exist in other comic cultures and here we have one between two legends of Italian Western comics. Tex & Zagor: Bandera is the story of two people who couldn't be more different, one a proud Texas Ranger, and the other a white man raised by Indians, but together they have a mission to prevent a war that will only hurt and harm the weakest of them. A awsome western epic.

The next comic was a Gift from my Uncle, my first contact with Star Trek. Star Trek / Legion of Super-Heroes is the meeting of the fleet of the 23rd and heroes of 31st who must fight the changes in history and timeline.

Marvel and DC crossovers hav a interesting history that is so big and Complex that needs his own day. But the newest are Awesome. Batman/Deadpool and Superman/Spider-Man are love letters to the heart's and Souls of the Characters puls the Bonus stories who in away are also interesting because they show us more Characters and Version of Characters that interact with each other.

Marvel Team-Up#14 is the meeting Spider-Man and Invincible and man the 2000s a screaming. I would consciously read the original for you, because it really shows perfectly something of the ecosystem that the actual comic was created from, I mean everyone knows about Invincible today, but only because of the show and the original comic is more his own beast.

a meeting of two comic greats from two continents, a very special and very well-known European comic character with D know with, Batman/Dylan Dog. Dylan Dog is Occult detective from Italian giallo fumetti, who takes on cases involving supernatural elements such as ghosts, demons, vampires, undeads, werewolves and other creatures, but also horrifying sociopathic criminals and serial killers so basically what Batman does. Both must work together because two there's biggest Nemesis from theren rogues galleries do it now, Dr. Xabaras and Joker.

Don't worry, we don't forgotten Batman/Judge Dredd Trilogy. and my goodness, these are two who absolutely hate each other to death, and I mean that honestly, I mean Batman is someone who operates outside of the law, but at the same time he's never killed anyone, dredd is someone who represents the law and kills a bunch of people ( and is in general a ass). But that makes them awsome, But that's what makes it somehow fascinating, the collision of two so different people.

and the last international crossover is of course with Godzilla, because he's currently stomping on everyone and man the mavel ones a awsome, Well it was not the first time the king of Monsters fights The Marvel universe, look in the 80s, but i love the new ones also.

But crossovers are not just a thing in superhero things, or with superheroes, every fictional character can have a crossover with another fictional character as long as they were created independently.

finally the battle between spoof and original. Groo vs. Conan is a must if you love barbaren comic, a clash of Titans, one is smart and other is Groo, one is master of the Sword and the other is cimmerian.

Mars Attacks Judge Dredd connects really extremely well, I would say the sarcastic tone at the franchise in that tale when the meg-one is attack by Mars.

Let's talk about something outside of the Fantastic. The best comedy is still the one where two different people from different worlds clash, and you really see the friction there. Kevin Smith Presents: Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob works surprisingly good where the Riverdale gang meets the slackers of the quick stop. Chaotic, heartwarming and Jughead has interest in Weed.

And know we see crossovers with Teams.

I've already made a very big post about why I think Alien vs Avengers is one of the best crossovers of all time, and I won't repeat myself, but I'll just say it in a nutshell: it's one of the saddest and most depressing comics i read, which pretty much makes it awsome because it really shows the horror that really comes with something like xenomorph if they absolutely escalates.

Justice League/Power Rangers is in a why a a conflict between generations when you actually think about it, where young heroes and older heroes have to try to put aside their differences, I'll say, and it's fascinating to see that, especially because they're so different, especially because of the age difference, but they both still know what it's like to be heroes.

Things are more brotherly with the crossover with TMNT. The story beginns with the disappearance of Tommy Oliver in NYC were the Other Rangers follow, which surprisingly leads to foor clane and to the heroes in halfshell.

And speaking of TMNT crossovers. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Usagi Yojimbo crossovers are kind of a classic, If you know a version of the turtles, they probably had a crossover with this samurai rabbit, so much so that there are even people who claim he was even a pure TMNT character. I mean both were the pearls of the independent boom in the 80s, and both were heavily influenced by martial arts films.

and if I'm already talking about visions of different characters. a character can end up in different visions due to the fact of adaptations or the course of their career, as well as ever being differently popular or known. Crossovers usually always try to use the basic b**** version of a character or concept, but sometimes it's interesting if they use a slightly different version of that character or concept for crossovers.

The Star Trek and Green Lanterns Crossovers use the kelvin timeline, short answer "In 2387, an accident created a quantum rift between our universe and this one. A Romulan ship accidentally traveled here through a singularity. They landed in 2233 and later destroyed the USS Kelvin. This changed their timeline - and we now call it the Kelvin Timeline" from Daniels. The lanterns ended up in this Star Trek universe because the darkest night destroyed everything and are now trying to take over this universe. The second story is about the newly changed system of power precisely because the rings are now suddenly in this universe.

Speaking also about powers, Many people ask themselves why there is no Injustice 3, and of course you can say that's because the studio netherrealm is not interested in a new part and would rather concentrate on Mortal Kombat, but technically we hav a Injustice 3. He-Man and die Masters of the Universe vs. Injustice takes place directly after Injustice 2, where Superman has won and continues his dictatorship, where the remaining heroes go to Eternia to ask for help and they will get one.

Is it kind of strange that Sam Raimi not just give us bloody Horror Comedys but also kind of the Formel for mondern Superhero filmes? Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness brings us the chosen one Ash Williams to Marvel, but unfortunately Earth-2149, where Unfortunately you have the problem with zombies with superpowers, I mean of course he knows his way around these things, but I think it's often just luck instead of sense for smart. But hey, zombies are not so worse as werewolves.

When we talk about live action adaptations of The Dark Knight, many usually only talk about either Tim Burton's version or Christopher Nolan's. But the longest run live action adaptations is still Batman '66 a.k.a Adam West Batman. DC Comics has a comic book series that is inspired by this, and I can really recommend it to you because it really is a psychedelic cheese casserole. And the crossovers, are all fantastic and could have happened on TV back then too with Green Hornet ( first show also from 1966), the man from u.n.c.l.e. ( 1964 ) and Wonder Woman '77 ( from 1977) But hey, who is interested in these old hams of TV history that have shaped the medium in the long term, said me, a 26 years old. Ok that was mean, because Archie will probably get a second renaissance, also his first cartoon was in 1968. Archie Meets Batman '66 is a fun read which really shows perfectly where the charm lies in both of them, with Mr. Lodge becoming enemy #1 of the dynamic duo! 

Well, what is your opinion and your Your Favoriten Crossover.

Well, in Germany is 40°C and it hell. I have such strange thing, the sunnier the day, the more I feel my depression. I thinking about to much about being a failure in life. Self-hating is a dangerous thing, i just startet Pushing away my friends and trying to hide in my small world.

Let's start with Comics with psychologische Ideen.

Is Ted ok? That is good question, the comic about the observation of Ted, a really depressed Office worker, but you will see that the guy has more problems as you thing, and how it is connected to his Dystopian Societie.

MIND MGMT #0 or like to call it at war with MIND MGMT, shows as more of the past of that Secret Psychic powers organization and how playing with the minds of others let's you humanity down.

Relics of Youth is kind of what if the Goonies are depressed Adults who wish there Youth back. Here are six people who were chosen in their childhood to find the fountain of eternal youth on mysterious island they see in their own Dreams. interestingly asked about things like letting things go, or simply accepting that unfortunately we are mortal.

Zander Cannon is a underrated Artist and Sleep is his new master work, it tells the story of a young man who turns into something when he falls asleep and the horror and guilt.

More cozy but also melancholic is Doughnuts and Doom about a witch and a Struggling musician kind of finding them self in a new "friendship".

Land of Nerven is about ex-cop whose daughter was kidnapped by a serial Kidnapper who for some reason is called the flying man because some say he can supposedly fly. Everything is really an interesting portrait of a man who is really destroyed and really, I would say, consumed inside by his own guilt.

I like to have my cat looked after by my neighbor Olga, and become i hav a air conditioner so that's why she looked after my cat in my apartment. And on one day i got home from after work all my friends and some of my other neighbors where there, in my two Room apartment. The meme is real, we in Europe often don't use air conditioning unfortunately and i hav no problem they where using my and also nice to hav to see people when you got home. I gave some people something from my collection to read and we even played The Dark Pictures Anthology: Season 1 Movie Night mode.

Let's talk about Monsters.

The Lycan is a nice Gothic horror tale, about a hunters on Island that has same interesting Game on it, but the roll of pray is not set in stone.

But still man is the biggest monster. Good As Dead is about a small town sheriff who has to solve a mysterious suicide while being poisoned by something, and the question is whether he can get to the truth before everything is too late and the two people who are the only ones to find out the truth are dead.

30 Days of Night: Ongoing Vol. 2 goes more in to how The FBI deals with Vampire's and it shows Steve Niles has a good hand in World building.

Man-Bat is a underrated Charakter from Gotham, a scientist who has turned into a bat monster with a serum, and in general it's not just a monster story, but it's somehow a story about a man who is just becoming the worst from his innermost darkside coming out.

Hulk Teach is a strange Comic that works better as you thing and become one of my favorite hulk comics. A Cooperation between scholastic graphix and Marvel with the art and Storytelling of Jeffrey Brown, Bruce Banner a.k.a Hulk must perform community service as a teacher on a middle school. and there is somehow a kind of interesting irony that in a world of fantastic, there is still something like, let me say, the horror of bureaucracy in schools, and believe me, you really see how schools actually sort out their students and don't really support those who really need help.

You know, back then as a child I unfortunately often had to be the emotional support for my parents, and I really say that because I wanted to do it, but because I had to do it, and believe me there is nothing worse than when you yourself as a young person have to be the adult between your parents. especially because I also had depression in my teenage years, and believe me, it wasn't good at all.

And know superheroes.

The eXpets from Mark Tatulli is nice, an absurd story where a bunch of pets get superpowers and form a team to fight villains, it's weird but likeable like his Lio strips.

The thing is just like that with superhero comics, on the one hand they are in a temporary fiction, on the other hand they are also fantastic literature, and the question is how these two things can often be combined with each other, which can also lead to interesting world building. Crashing is about a Rose Osler, a doctor with a small addiction problem who works in a special clinic for patients with superpowers, and it comes to a point where the interesting question is, what is the right morality which patient you save first, heroes or villains?

Ms.marvel goes back in the x-man past to there darkest moment with the Dark Phoenix Saga.

The 8 Deaths of Spider-Man is about Doctor Doom, the new Sorcerer Supreme giving Spider-Man magic to fight a god. I love the Spider-Man stories that go big, a man aginst things larger as him but is it still more David against Goliath.

I love the Multiverse, because you can make stories that show what happens if heros lossing. Tales from the DC Dark Multiverse II is that and i love it.

Well my job hunting goes on. especially because I'm also having conversations with other warehouse companies and also temporary worker companies, and they also pay more and with my Forklift license they hav more interested in me.

And at last the fantastic.

The Complete Sabrina the Teenage Witch: 1972-1973 is so fun when Teenage drama is combine with Magic.

If you like it cold there's Mistland. The three clans of the The Hollow send a handful of people convicted of a murder to the wasteland called mistland, while they themselves are more and more at each other's throats in the fight for survival.

From the Master Don Lawrence we hav Maroc the Mighty, an English yeoman, John Maroc, came into possession of ‘The Hand of Zar’. This magic amulet granted all who wielded it with incredible strength, but only when bathed in the sun’s rays. A interesting mix of Super-Heroes and Fantasy.

Dudley Datson and the Forever Machin is a strange Comic but awsome, the story of an unsuccessful inventor who then has the opportunity to step into the shoes of the great ones and is involuntarily drawn into a war between aliens and humanity that lasted for thousands of years.

Well, keep reading and hav a better week as myself.

The place was found by my Brother.

Jeffrey Brown is a real grassroots cartoonist, self-publish, using the early internet and now he is a respected Cartoonist. known for an art style that really screams DIY and stuff that go to all ages group's. Even though he now makes more fiction, his first works were autobiographical, and I think they're interesting because you can really see how he thinks and also how his ideas came about. That's way my buddy David ( who made the wish for that) said to me, i should start that with that page.

And we start with the Magnum Opus Loved and Lost: the relationship trilogy that is from Clumsy, Unlikely and any east intimacy. That show his Relationships in his early adulthood and is a real imtim look for they grow and fall.

Undeleted Scenes is scattershot from all parts from his life, from the Family he grown up to the one he build. and how the people around you shape you and you shape them.

Be a Man shows SEX is kind of awkward, the unvarnished portrayal and let me say experiences with intimacy. and let me be very serious in this day and age with all the internet, this is really a very good comic that you can really give to people who have real problems with, let me say, the reality of the thing.

Speaking of awkward. Every girl is the end of the world for me, is a very interesting story about how difficult it is to get complicated with people, let me say, especially with the opposite gender to just talk. anxieties at there most real.

You can see really well how his thoughts arose in his life, and also you can say that the perspective you have of the world is still shaped from the outside. That is the focus of A Metter of Life, where he was in a point in his life wher was a father. where he talks about his life, how he came to his worldview, but also the others in his life and theren. especially since it is an interesting example of how they are not fixed and at the same time can always change over the course of your life.

But is your favorite Jeffrey comic?

I managed to escape the heat for the week, because there's a strike going on at work, precisely because they didn't do anything to combat the heat in the warehouse where someone has already collapsed. At least I could stay at home where it was cool with the air conditioning.

​

And i did read physical comics again.

​

Vita Obscura from Simon Schwartz is a collection of the strangeness People and events in history and is a lot fun.

Schattenleben from Jonas Seufert and Lisa Frühbeis is about the people and there live in Germany without Dokumente.

A lost Joe Kubert classic is Tor about the Adventures of the caveman with the same name.

WE LIVE is a interesting science fiction Story, where the last children of humanity face yet another cosmic threat on a destroyed world.

And for the Funnybone in all of us we hav the Legacy Collection of the first Disney comics from and In Germany and Simpsons Comics Deluxe Band 4.

​

Lisa and I managed to get our forklift license, and it was tough. My biggest fear was that I would tip over with this thing, and believe me that can be life-threatening if you're not wearing a seatbelt, but everything went well and she and I got our licenses for the thing together.

​

And now anti-capitalism.

​

I think we already have our candidate for the best comic of this year with an absolutely green Arrow, a Urban Horror Slasher Crime story, where we saw the investigation and hunt for a serial killer who hunts and kills corrupt millionaires. and the thing is, if you've read absolutely evil, then you know the question in the room is who is this person, because spoiler I can tell a little bit, it's going to be interesting ;).

Gigs is the Dystopia of that Generation, because it is kind of boring on the surface but in depth a interesting look of how the Gig economy and the www let our Work and society hollowed out for max profit.

Bramble shows as a steampunk world that is a industrial nightmare with destruction on the nature, until a mysterious Brief case came.

Black Cat Social Club rocks, it is about 3 Witches and there band fighting Demons in suites.

Well, the comic industry can treat badly his creatives hart, luckily there's the Hero Initiative, which helps many desperate comic creatives, and this is a benefit collection from different artists and writers with hero comics.

​

My cat is also not a fan of the heat, mostly she laid on my air conditioning and loves the wind. I give her lots of water and some treats that I leave in the fridge, but we both hate the summer days.

​

So let's talk about comics with humor.

​

Jughead Fun and Games is a nice collection of stories where Jughead shows as his skil and same Tricks;).

Bad Machinery Volume 3: The Case of the Simple Soul is the case on mysterious burnings and a thing under a Bridge.

Reheated Lio: A Delicious Lio Collection Ready to Devour shows Mark Tatulli love of the weird and macabre.

Splitting Image 80-Page Giant is a lampooning of image comics early day from Don Simpson and man it is fun.

And the sequel of Jeffrey Brown's Cover des Comics "Incredible Change-Bots Two and still a awsome spoof.

​

The advantage, however, when it's summer, the fairs come to our cities again, and they're nice again, to day there was a pretty cool haunted house and wildmous. Me and the gang got also to see the Fireworkshow and it was awsome.

​

And know the rest.

​

Nexus is a 80s classic, someone with great power who is not the master of it, but his slave. an intergalactic executioner, and you really wonder, is he really doing good in this universe or is the question of justice always more complicated to answer than violence?

The Spider-Hulk is a under use idea, of what happens if Peter got gamarays to his radioactive spiderbait and is the start of the idea.

Defenders of the Earth: Dark Destiny is the question what if heros did do a bad thing to make a good thing? Above all, what does it mean if civilians suffered?

Cage Hero is a nice combo of Cage fighting and superheros, like a Saturday morning cartoon with more beating.

Asphalt Blues is story of two starcross lovers that like to hav a separate life, but still allway come allways back, but is it a good thing?

Mike Mignola gives as Slavic mythos with Koshchei the Deathless and his many fights from his past and with hellboy. A cursed life he has i must say.

One of the best villains in star Trek is still khan and with rulling in hell we see is past to become a danger for the galaxy and where his philosophy comes from.

​

Well, have always a better week as myself and keep reading.

Yeah, my depression is unfortunately worse at the moment, and well, everything looks gray again. I do things that make me feel good, but it only let's it falling completely down but still not kind of up. My block is currently having the problem that brown rats, These are rats that at least don't go straight into houses so our building is kind of safe, but still they not good. We called in an exterminator and he apparently says we might have a problem in our sewer system, that they've built a nest in a crack somewhere, but convincing the city to take a look down there will require a lot of evidence.

​

Well, let's start with Comic that remains me of why Cartoonist was my dream to be.

​

Tails from Ethan Young is a tail of a unsuccessful cartoonist who oscillates between his boringly normal life and his daydreaming. an ode to the strength of the pen and imagination.

​

you know there are few comics that manage to write about societies, and I don't mean social issues, but really using a society or civilization as a protagonist. The First Kingdom Destiny is the end of that strange Fantasy/sci-fi saga and the question of the Future of the People.

​

We have a habit of ignoring the minorities in our history, even though they have always been there, the history of comics is unfortunately no exception, and many female creatives have often been forgotten or downplayed. Brenda Starr, Reporter from Dale Messick Not only was it the first comic strip that was actually made entirely by a female cartoonist, but it was also, when you think about it, very feminist. where a woman has to assert herself in the male-dominated world of the 1940s, okay the world is still more male-dominated, but it is interesting that it exist.

​

Alex Toth is awesome, Not only is his underrated master in comics, but he has also brought animation extremely ahead, I mean without him we would never have been able to create action cartoons, or even anime as we know it today would not exist and with his black hood reimagined as a 80s Action hero you see that.

​

Unfortunately, the good always die too soon, and Darwyn Cooke was one of them, but the last adoption of the parker novels, I think, is still fantastic and shows how dynamic the guy really is in his art when an entire amusement park falls into battle and is used as a weapon.

​

Chris Giarrusso is awesome, not just because his art style is nice but also his storytelling. The G-Man Super Journal: Awesome Origins is about his original Character G-man, a young superhero and that is his diary and the weirdness of being a Superhero and a kid.

​

Do you know the feeling when you want to recommend a work to someone, but you're afraid they'll think you're strange? or it somehow feels like this is scandalous, questionable and beyond, but upon closer inspection it is the complete opposite? That is the case with Adam Warren's Empowered, which on the surface seems like a bad joke, because it is about a superheroine whose costume is light to tears up, but then it's somehow a deconstruction about sexism in comics, especially on the double standards and, above all, about doubts about your own body.

​

We had Pen & Paper Night again and my buddy David had a very stupid idea that we immediately loved. Dungeonslayers is a old school Tabletop RPG from Germany, which is a love letter to the simplicity of old role-playing games, and their flexibility in what you can do with them and David made a dungeon crawler carl inspired game that goes really hard on the Horror. I mean if you actually think about it, the books actually revolve around the fact that our earth is being transformed by some alien intelligently into his play thing and you are just a game pieces in a Legacy-game, so it is no problem if you die for that ass of Dungeon Master. where a handful of normal people have to try to survive in a city that has somehow mutated in a weird parody of a fantasy world, Although they not only have to deal with the mutated inhabitants, but also with the absurdity that everything now works according to the logic of a bad video game. and it's really interesting what was presented there and the absurdities that, if you think about it, is very horror. You know, I really recommend you play deltarune, and don't worry, you don't have to have played undertale to enjoy this game, perhaps with one interesting exception. undertale is a video game where you have to start looking at this thing not as a video game but as an independent world with its own inhabitants, because if you play it as a normal JRPG, you are doing a genocid. deltarune takes this idea and turns it on its head, because basically it's a world that is actually normal that mutated more and more into a video game.

Let's talk about anthologies, and the fascination if many artists having the same ideas and showing them differently.

​

Young Men in Love: New Romance is the second vol of the Gay Romance Anthology and it is so cozy for the lonelin days.

​

If there is an overarching comic trend that I love, it is the short story collections in black, white and a little bonus color. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Black, White, and Green is that for the heroes in a halfshell. and I think they are very easy to adapt into somewhat unusual art styles, precisely because they themselves come from, say, outsider comic artists.

​

Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies thats image best superhero in to more weirdness as the normal Weirdness of Savage Dragon, with art from Fiffe, Scioli and co.

​

Sometimes I feel like the world is collapsing, I know nothing is supposed to happen, but depression makes you even more nervous about everything than it actually is, I often think to myself every day that something bad is going to happen to me, and every now and then I have the feeling that people hate me more.

​

So now it last the Epic's.

The Shadows of Thule is the saga of the last king of the Pikten on the fight aginst a Nekromanten.

​

More historical is Makhno: Ukrainian Freedom Fighter is about the anarchist revolution in Ukraine at the beginning of the last century to drive out the Tsarist Empire out.

​

Tom Taylor makes two kinds of stories, one is "oh that is wholesome" and "so much death", Neverlanders combine the two. and basically it's a retelling of the Peter Pan myth, but if I'm honest it's also somehow a kind of acceptance to young person that death exist, because basically it's about a bunch of children who maybe come to a fantastic island, which unfortunately is also a damn war zone. Also it is on Ages 12 and up.

​

Archie's Explorers of the Unknown is loveletter to adventures Explorer of the like of The Challengers of the Unknown and Jonny Quest with the gang.

​

I've always had a fascination with what a franchise was like in its early years, where so much is possible and a lot of weirdness still exists. And Goldkey Star Trek goes more strange new worlds in his second vol.

​

The Sacrificers Volume 3: No Light Beyond is the end of the fantasy series, and man what a ride, a world that is dying because of what it was built on, inherent injustice.

​

Follow me Down is is Reckless most darkest case, where he has to look for a missing woman after an earthquake, but other abysses also form that are not just geological.

​

Radio Spaceman is Mike mignola first sci-fi work in a long time, and is about a very strange steampunk astronaut searching for a thing on a very mysterious planet.

​

Roy Rogers was a legend of the old western, the singing cowboy whose numerous films and albums won his place in the hearts of Americans at the beginning of the last century. And that is his collection of comic strips.

​

The threed Army of Darkness Omnibus is still bloody fun and shows that how flexibility you can hav with Ash and his misadventure.

​
