A day late. Ah well, there are things tomorrow.

American Vampire #3
YAY VENGEANCE! This is just fun. Vampires can be fun again! Not angsty, not absorbed in romance, just a whole lot of fun seeking out revenge and hunters and the hunted and all that fun stuff. It’s about time we got some of this. It’s been far too long.

Devil #4
I’m pretty sure this story didn’t actually make any sense. Caged devil wants out, but she can’t actually ever leave. And the monster that isn’t hurt with explosions, cars running into it or gunfire gets cut with a sword. Yeah, not sense making.

Joe the Barbarian #5
NO! JACK! I really liked this one, though. Lots of interplay between the two universes and there’s even a little bit of a conversation with mom this time around to show that there are dire troubles in both worlds. And the lines between the universes blur a little more.

Kill Shakespeare #2
I’m not sure how I feel about this anymore. Mostly because little progress was actually made in the story. They start out and mutiny goes afoot as soon as Hamlet gets knocked out. I thought they’d be travelling in a smaller pack, I guess, and it would focus more on Hamlet’s journey than the evilness of King Richard.

I’m burnt out. Just a little. And I need to take a break from all of the stress, projects I’m working on, various other things that are causing me to slowly go a little insane and just do other things. Like read comics.

Daytripper #5
Bras as a kid was pretty damn adorable. Also, I’m thinking that this death at the end of every issue is more of a gimmick than anything else because I’m liking how the whole story of his life is winding together at this point that the death aspect of the book really isn’t playing any part in the overall story.

Kill Shakespeare #1
Well, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. I couldn’t resist, honestly. It’s a book about Hamlet out to kill Shakespeare! I need to reread Hamlet and every play I’ve ever encountered by Shakespeare because this look like it’s going to be a fun public domain crossover chock full of references to obscure bits catering to literary geeks.

The Light #1
As near as I can figure, this is a book about people who look at light and proceed to blow up. I don’t know why, I don’t know what’s causing any of this, I don’t know why that guy accepted it so easily or anything. It’s just people looking at light and blowing up for no reason.

Song of Saya #2
I’m actually rather enjoying this one. It’s weird and Saya’s a huge mystery, despite her explanation and other explanations of what she is. It doesn’t make sense yet, but we’re only in issue two and soon Josh isn’t going to be the only one going insane.
