Comics Should Be Good!

While it's mostly setup, it's a good example of half the joy coming from the journey, not the destination. I'm looking forward to Volume 2. There's nothing immature about enjoying a well-told story that's aimed at a younger audience, especially when so many supposedly mature comics are quite juvenile these days. PS: Agnes Quill sounds interesting, so I'll keep an eye out for it.

He donated <b>30 copies --<i> each</i>-- </b> of the first two issues of his fall-down funny book, <i>The Lab,</i> to my students a couple of years back and they LOVED it... but in the back of the books were a couple of preliminary ads for <i>Dreamland Chronicles,</i> and I still get asked about it every once in a while from my 8th graders who got their <i>Lab</i> books from Scott in the 6th grade. They will be delighted to hear it's out. Anyway, Scott is a hell of a guy and he deserves the support, so I'm glad we're giving him a push here.

Between the fairly stock plot and the...um..."interesting" art, I'm going to give a big pass to that one. It reminds me a lot a show on NBC saturday mornings that makes me cring every time I flip past it (some computer animated show that has such horrendously stiff and odd-looking CGI that it boggles my mind that a network would show it) and that is not a good thing. Regardless, these are some good reviews and I may actually pick up Ed's Terrestrials thanks to this article.
