First, a timely reminder from Savage Critic: new comics arrive Thursday. One of the Savage ones, Jeff Lester, also reveals a haunting encounter with first-person marketing. It’s a convincing argument in favor of Caller ID if ever I’ve seen one.
Shane Bailey looks back at a short-lived great, Chase, at Near Mint Heroes. It’s the first in a series highlighting comics that deserved longer runs.
At Polite Dissent, Scott fears that the Identity Crisis body count is already higher than we suspect. (Watch out, Rainbow Raider!) With this, Scott can be forgiven for digging up one of my worst comic memories.
Are you feeling adrift in these troubled times? Do you wish you could ask a near-omnipotent, other-dimensional despot for guidance? Matt Maxwell feels your pain, and he’s found just the fellow to help you out. In other words, “What Would Dormammu Do?”
DC finally does something to boost one of its most original books, Fallen Angel. They’re giving away free copies via a complex mathematical formula. (And, no, I won’t pass up the opportunity to remind you of Johanna’s most excellent Fallen Angel contest, which ends today, 9/8/04, and requires no algebra to enter.)
Since elegant segues are the monkey on my back, let’s look at the books that are coming out tomorrow! Why, it’s Fallen Angel #15! Let’s see what else is here… District X #5, Gotham Central #23, She-Hulk #7… wait, surely there must be at least one comic by… ah, there they are… Powers #4 and The Pulse #5. (I think Johnny Bacardi is right about Powers.)
Last but not least, the phrase “because you demanded it” subjects itself to further scrutiny with this announcement.
