So let's do the back end of Wednesday Comics.
I seem to recall when I picked this up, it was purely out of excitement over Neil Gaiman and Mike Allred's collaboration on "Metamorpho." I've always been partial to the character, as he for some reason holds a similar resonance as the Doom Patrol, though I don't know that their adventures are really anything like one another. It's just an odd association, I guess. And while it is a pretty good strip, I have to say that the "Deadman" and "Superman" strips are knocking it out of the park. Particularly "Deadman." I've mentioned before, but it's got that DC Animated U look to it, but it's so much more visceral. Quite an interesting combination, and is making for excellent "newspaper" comics.
I'm kind of into the "Kamandi" strip as well - it's set up like a Prince Valiant-style comic, where the characters don't speak in speech bubbles, but in the text boxes that accompany each panel. It's not my favourite style of comics, but it works quite nicely in this pastiche of the old adventure strips.
To be continued.
