stuff i read
from Alan Moore's America Best Comics:
Terra Obscura - I actually liked this more than I liked Tom Strong, shame he didn't do more with this instead of
Promethea - holy crap jerk yourself off much Alan? outside of that it was pretty okayish
Mister Miracle (Tom King miniseries) - Barda, I don't think your condo can be rebuilt to that extent, are you going to use a Mother Box for all this because I don't see how otherwise? plus I really don't think the association would allow you to remake the whole thing like that
Kurt Busiek's Astro City (whole series) - wonderful, although getting cut short because of DC canning Vertigo does suck at least they have some kind of plan for finishing off the few little plot threads along with expanding more
Elementals - it's hard to believe this is by Bill Willingham (Fables) and how it gets put on so many "greatest series never read" lists because dear god it is awful, the writing is just plain bad in a bad way, I can't believe the publisher paid for the rights to it and tried to continue it, also that nobody's ever brought up Willingham's response to a reader who told him it sucked ("I refuse to be your art-distinguished black fellow" really)
also did finish Sandman Mystery Theatre which also very awesome, hate that it similarly died early due to DC, so rushed things at the end, Black Label should look into doing more series like that from a standpoint of returning characters to when they debuted and writing them back in that era rather than the constantly moving forward of comic book time into the present
having also read some original 1980s Suicide Squad with Reagan and everything these combined to make me think there could also be something amusing or interesting about setting a series of say, Superman or whatever back just post-Crisis again but it also being literally 1985 again and moving forward in the actual years, it could even jump ahead into certain years, but if it was 2019 for example everyone is 34 years older rather than "five years" or whatever the stupid screw up conceit was of the New 52 which led to Batman having four Robins in six years all of the same age but also them aging forward properly to fit the real time of their introduction decades ago, Dick's age needs as Nightwing, etc.
