Just killing time until Roswell comes on. Got comics from two weeks ago yesterday, and have been working through those at a fairly rapid clip. Particularly noteable: the first issue of Venture by Jay Faerber, writer of the fantastic Noble Causes (fantastic, that is, if you like superhero comics), and the new issue of Global Frequency, which is just a bloody great, bloody action movie. This week's shipment was particularly heavy on graphic novels, including the new Channel Zero book, Jennie One written, but not drawn this time, by the great Brian Wood, who has become one of my faves. Really looking forward to that. In the area of the completely gonzo, there's the first new issue of the new Nevermen miniseries from Dark Horse Comics, written by Phil Amara and drawn by Guy Davis, sort of the Shadow meets Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Then, also cowritten by Amara, there's a new Sky Ape book, which, if previous volumes are any indication, promises to make Nevermen look like a photorealistic documentary drama. Plus a couple of horror books from Avatar Press that promise some serious creep-out moments. Yeah, looks like a good week for comics.

Planning on having a combination of sushi and burgers for dinner tonight, and I'm not entirely sure how that combination will work out.
