Wow! That was a lot of good comic book reading. Some stand outs include Sin City vols. 5, 6 and 7 and The Marquis. The similarities? They are both creator owned, written and drawn black and white books but their approaches are miles apart. While Frank Miller has his crime filled world of Sin City hidden in deep black shadows, Guy Davis by contrast has his "sinful city" Venisalle stuck in a constantly lit winter with very nice grey tones. Both books are enjoyable and highly recommended.

Okay, only 770 comics left to read!

On a non-comic book note:

As I write this I'm watching Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. I was less than a fan when this movie came out. Watching it again on SyFy, I realize that it is an okay made for TV movie even if it was a theatrical release movie. I mean the nuclear blast, the vehicle to vehicle sword fighting, the monkeys, the ants and the waterfall scenes. Shhheesh. What were they thinking. But there is some okay parts to. I liked seeing Marion Ravenwood back in action and the office scene were Indiana reflects on his father and Marcus Brody were winners. All in all maybe not as dreadful as I first thought.

Keep Reading Comics.
