Slow Day

Ugh. I've just got that feeling in my bones that today's gonna be a slow one. I'm gonna get to work and age three years before four o'clock. Nothing seems to be happening today. Still, I've got remember that even if things are slow today, I've got a lot of work left to do. In fact, as soon as I get home from the sawmill, I need to put the finishing touches on "SDF: Very Odd Jobs". So, slow day or no, I've still gotta be on my game.

So, in other news, Warren Ellis has a new book out. Normally, that's a good thing, and I'd spend the rest of this column singing the praises of whatever new comics project Mr. Ellis was involved in. Unfortunately, I read "Jack Cross #1" last night, and couldn't make heads or tails of it. I mean, don't get me wrong, the art was clean and decipherable, and I think I understood what was going on in each individual panel, but all in all the whole project was... incoherent. The book has something to do with a counter-terrorism group and a guy they bring to handle nasty jobs (the titular character, of course). But what I couldn't tell was who was working for who, what every organization did, and what the point of virtually everything was. Maybe I just too tired last night. Anyway, I can't in good conscience recommend "Jack Cross" from DC.
