Random Notes Post Memorial Day
Couple more Post-SPACE reviews. These were in my Bro's possession, and I only recently got around to reading em.
Agent Z- Pickle Press-Nik Havert and Federico Zumel- www.picklepress.net Another fine comic from the crew over at Pickle Press. This one is about an EPA agent who investigates a corporation with Mob ties, and the rather bizarre circumstances that result. Intriguing, interesting, and fairly well paced, backed up by really strong artwork. My only real question is how Nik Havert has the time and money to publish so many books...
Unicorn Mountain- Various- www.unicornmountain.com An anthology that contains a variety of experimental comics, as well as some prose work. Interesting stuff throughout, there's so much material contained in this baby that it's borderline overwhelming. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Oh, and a CD comes with the book as well. Didn't get around to listening to it though.
Alex Toth died last week. A comics legend, and the progenitor of minimalist art in comics, Toth's passing is indeed a sad affair. We here at TORC Press offer our condolences to his family.
Watched "Thank You for Smoking" over the weekend. Funny, clever, and intelligent, the film does the near impossible and actually makes us root for the main character, a scumbag cigarette lobbyist. A great flick with a great cast that will actually make you think. Check it out.
I ate a ton of grilled foods this weekend. Me happy.
Had an entire string of bizarre dreams last night. You know how nowadays they're getting so good with CGI that stuff looks damn near real? Well that ain't nothing compared to having a dream where you're actually staring at a damn UFO, and that sumbitch is powering up his Death Ray.
