Funny the show flopped. I read the comic years ago and enjoyed it alright. Did they fuck up with the Y: The Last Man tv show too? I never heard anyone talking about it

I never heard anyone talking about it The Y: the last man show is so boring. It's another that my wife has been watching and was enjoying but I think she's quickly losing interest. I'm not confident it will make it past one season. Like you said, nobody is talking about it.

That got talked about being made for so long that if it had been made in 2010 it coulda been good, but now TV just seems so cookie cutter. It was destined to be bad.

Also I got the James Patterson reboot of The Shadow from the library, so that should be great ha ha. Bad news, guys, the James Patterson Shadow is not good. I read the whole Helfer/ Sienkiewicz/ Baker run over the summer and needless to say this new book ain't it. SPOILERS I guess: it is based on the dorky radio show Shadow and not the cool pulp novel/ comic book version, so the Shadow wakes up after a 100 years in cryosleep and can turn invisible but he doesn't carry guns or wear the scarf or anything. It's set in the future, and there's a spunky teen girl sidekick who also has superpowers. It stinks and I don't like it.

I borrowed from the library 'Flora och Fauna' by Emelie Östergren even though I cannot read Swedish, cause the art is beautiful.

Reading from the stack of random stuff that seemed interesting at the public library, All the Answers by Michael Kupperman. Really enjoying it! I only know Kupperman cuz he went on Best Show but I've been meaning to check this book out for a while. Enjoying it so far! Then hopping into Discipline for Bubbles Forum Book Club and then a little Demystification zine.

Took the week off of work and read a ton of shit. First i finished up Dagger Dagger. Banger of an anthology. Sloane Leong’s “Mercy, As Yet Through Blood” was my favorite of the book. Then i breezed thru The Fang vol. 2 Weekend At Medusa’s by Marc Palm. Fun lil book. From Wig Shop i got One Eight Hundred Ghosts by G. Davis Cathcart and Vector Hugo by Matthew Thurber. Both were fucking EXCELLENT! Really loved ‘em! And last night i read Wilson by Dan Clowes and the first trade of The Humans by Tom Neely and Keenan Marshall Keller. I’m drawn to shithead characters so Wilson was a pleasure to read lol and The Humans is so cool! Gonna pick up the 2nd book next week. Also plz don’t kick me off this board but re-read Jonathan Hickman’s House of X/Powers of X in anticipation of his last X-Men book having started this week lol I think he’s a good writer!

A friend lent me a couple dumb/fun sci-fi novels. So I was reading those and meanwhile my comics to-read pile grew and grew.
First I read Discipline so I'd be ready for the book club discussion on here (join us!)
Then, I just finished reading a ton of King-Cat. Issues 75-80, courtesy of Wig Shop. It's like my cats knew when I had just finished reading issue 75 because they were being demons the rest of the day but there was no way I was going to be mad at them after that.
Moving on to finally reading The Man Without Talent and it's so good so far.

Taiyo Matsumoto's No. 5. At first, I wasn't feeling it at all, it's so far off of the other stuff of his I've read, but it won me over. It's a weird little pastiche about numbered super soldiers.

reading Case of the Missing Men by Bertin / Forbes, got it from the library after remembering my interest in it from when it came out years ago. Read about half on the train, it’s great I bought both Hobtown books a few months back and absolutely loved them. Such great, dense storytelling and cartooning. So much character in the drawing and while there have been a million Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew/Johnny Quest pastiches to come before it this one never feels like it’s trying to be a parody but instead just wants to DO one of those mysteries in a totally earnest but more adult way. It’s not winky at all. The second book takes both the cartooning and storytelling in a really interesting new direction. Can’t wait for the third volume!
Just based on this little exchange, I picked up The Case of the Missing Men yesterday at Big Planet in D.C., and it's great so far. It has a driving narrative and interesting cartooning, both really refreshing.

Since we were talking about it in this thread... The Y: The Last Man tv show has been cancelled already.
