* Today at Robot 6, I showed off and ran down my SPX haul. Beautiful, isn’t it?
* A threesome on Gossip Girl? Pray for MMF, people!!! (Via Jason Adams.)
* Grant Morrison and Sean Murphy’s Joe the Barbarian has been expanded to eight issues. This looks to be very, very pretty, and given Morrison’s heretofore unabashed embrace of heroic fantasy as a means of uplift, its “tween’s toys come to life in a fantasy world” plot could get interesting, presuming Morrison’s approach goes beyond “hey, that’s awesome!”
* You saw ’em there first: Fantagraphics previews its Previews listings for January 2010.
* My Robot 6 confrere Chris Mautner reviews R. Crumb’s Book of Genesis. Sounds like it’s notable for its un-Crumb-ness in large part.
* Oh hey, pictures from Neil Marshall’s Centurion! With all the movies I’ve dropped the ball on lately, I’ll be damned if I whiff on this one.
* Artist L. Nichols presents block-printed portraits of He-Man and She-Ra. They have the power.
* Real-Life Horror: The government appears to have neglected to destroy tapes of the interrogation of detainee Mohammed al Qahtani. Of course, the only things more depressing than the videotaped spectacle of a man being tortured at the hands of American agents will be the Obama Administration’s Bush-like attempts to suppress its release, and the full-throated endorsement of the videotaped behavior by conservatives should those attempts fail.
* On a cheerier note, Who doesn’t love sentient plants?
the full-throated endorsement of the videotaped behavior by conservatives should those attempts fail.
Not all conservatives.
I fully understand and share your outrage… hence the point. Would you mind narrowing that brush just a little?
If you’re ever interested in owning one of those block prints, they’re for sale at my etsy store. They’re definitely some of my favorite prints. I have the first two proofs framed and hanging up around the house.
