Books & Comics / Re: New Comic Book Day Megathread

Can I just say Cemetery Beach by Warren Ellis and Jason Howard is wonderful, wonderful comics and wouldn't be out of place in the current (excellent) run of the Prog.

Looking the action sequences, text not to shabby either

We'll be stronger than ever once we get past our reliance on food and technology.

, but my interest has been piqued by Robert Evans's Behind The Bastards, which has done deep dives into the complicity of German business in the Nazi's rise, the history of fascism in the USA, and the Koch brothers, as well as very funny potted histories of Leopold III and wacky loons like L Ron Hubbard.

Thanks for that... off down that rabbit hole

Whatever happened to....Buttonman?

I remember those heady daze when he used to stride this board like a colostomy, dispensing a pithy comment here, a pithy helmet there... all gone, gone like tears in the rain.

meantime: comicsgate?

Briefly, it's lots of American men angry about the fact that many of the best comics these days are created by women or feature characters with a different skin colour from them.

Your life is richer for not knowing about it.

Are we untouched by this in the UK, or should I be worried about the people (including punters) who attend British conventions?

Personally, I find everything about cannabis skanky. Anything that keeps some distance between it and me is welcome.

Same for me, despite owning a few Dr. Dre T-shirts and Bryan Talbot underground comix in my time.
Each to their own of course, but I always found it pretty repulsive.

Can't beat a nice bottle of Scotch.
