Today’s comics picks: A new issue of
Finder (heads up to
mamishka — it’s the start of a new storyline). Some real nice science-fictional world-building in the first few pages. The sixth volume of the collected
Ultimate X-Men, “The Return of the King”, pretty good, though some bits failed my suspension of disbelief, but I’m used to that from superhero comics. The second volume of the collected
Y, the Last Man, which I haven’t read yet. Spent more money than I shoulda, and I still didn’t get the new
Ranma 1/2 or
Finder collections. Poverty sucks.
More online comics:
Phil Foglio did a 24-hour comic,
Planet 24, and it’s got more plot in 24 pages than
Girl Genius has had in nine whole issues.
And
Scott McCloud’s got
a page of mugshots of cartoonists who were at the recent convention in San Diego. Scroll down a bit, and all those photos are linked to the various sites and comics. Hours of reading and discovery!
