I read lotsa my comics on the bus, as I have quite a lot of bus time. Funnily enough, I felt "sadder" reading the Da Vinci Code on the bus than Spidey or the Invisbles or V or anything else. At least when you're a grown man reading a comic, you can go "Yeah, fuck you, I'm a grown man reading a comic," if anyone gets in your face about it -- I get that in the office though. Someone called V for Vendetta a 'picture book' the other day, very patronisingly and on purpose. I was so angry/offended I couldn't think of what to say. How do you explain to a middle aged, middle class woman what comics are about? -- Although they won't, at worst, they'll probably be a muttery and passive agressive at the back of the bus. And that's why God made headphones.
Soooo... back to Kid eternity. I tried reading it (DLed it, naughty boy), but found it much too messy on the screen (like V is too tight and small, some things you need on paper). I will buy it though, as like Matt, I haven't read anything by Georgie that I haven't liked, and will continue to do so, till he hits a crap patch. btw, I usually love Duncan Fredrego (sp?) too, he did a Batman story a while back, and his style is lovely. He also did the Jay and Silent Bob mini from Oni... I like his 'normal' art, but I'm not 100% on his painted stuff. |
