talktoolooseI lost an entry yesterday when we had a power failure at work. The good news is we went home early.
It was about comic books I've been enjoying. I was all elaborate about them, but now I'm just going to list them:
Two by Mike Carey, writer of Lucifer:
Ultimate Vision (picking up where Marvel's Ultimate Galactus saga ended)
Crossing Midnight: A new Vertigo book he's writing that is more along the lines of Lucifer but dealing with Japanese mythology.
Antique Bakery - a fabu manga about a small bakery in suburban Tokyo which makes me hungy every time I read it. Sweet, romantic, delicate, funny
American Virgin - the writing is a bit obvious but it's fun watching a young american evangelist virgin being dragged around the world and confronting things that make him question his faith. Awesome, sexy Becky Cloonan art.
Finally, a quote from Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather about my profession:

Finally, a quote from Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather about my profession:
"The profession of design, having once lost its aspiration to construct a better world, must by necessity decay into a work-for-hire varnish for barbarism."
