The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1024: Wednesday Comics #6, August 12, 2009
Losing my interest in this series, I'm afraid. Though the Superman story continues to be pretty great, as does the Adam Strange strip, the rest aren't really blowing my mind that much. But that's okay - I'm going to take a break for the next little while and start reading Christmas comics - if I can find any that I haven't already read for the project, that is.
I will say that the Deadman strip is actually pretty cool - it's riffing on the DC Animated style (as is Wonder Woman), and it's kind of a cool take on Boston Brand. He's one of those heroes I'm not super familiar with, but whenever he shows up in a comic, I enjoy his sarcasm. Also, should you ever get the chance to read any of Kelley Jones's work on him, do it. Jones is a treasure.
So, tomorrow we'll start with some holiday cheer. I wish I had some Hanukkah comics, or anything else that celebrated the various holidays that happen this time of year. I'm sure there must be some Yuletide ones out there. And, I'm embarrassed to admit, I still don't have all of Grant Morrison's take on the early days of Santa in Klaus. Maybe I'll treat myself to an early present.
To be continued.
