  1. My 2025 Reading Stacks #2: Two Graphic Novel MVPs

    Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: Welcome once again to our recurring MCC feature in which I scribble capsule reviews of everything I've read lately that was published in a physical format over a certain page count with a squarebound spine on it -- novels, original graphic novels, trade paperbacks, infrequent nonfiction dalliances, and so on. Due to the way I structure my media-consumption time blocks, the list will always feature more graphic novels than works of prose and pure text, though I do try to diversify my literary diet as time and acquisitions permit. Occasionally I'll sneak in a contemporary review if I've gone out of my way to buy and read something brand new. Every so often I'll borrow from my wife or from our local library. But the majority of our spotlighted works are presented years after the rest of the world already finished and moved on from them because I'm drawing from my vast unread pile that presently occupies four oversize shelves comprising thirty-three years of uncontrolled book shopping. I've occasionally pruned the pile, but as you can imagine, cut out one unread book and three more take its place... ...and the same holds true for my li'l ramshackle hobby-blog: cross one subject off my to-do list, five more get added to it. We're long overdue to catch up and I'm tired of staring at all these stacks in our living room next to our PC desk. Let's do some of this for the sake of spring cleaning! We'll start with the two creators with more works in those stacks than any other. […]

  10. (The song continues ...)

    "Ollie acted quite legally,
    getting a loan from a bank,
    for he's converting his car, you see,
    into an all-weather tank.

    The more we listen to his troubles,
    there's an increasing need for shovels.
    It's piling up to your nose,
    like it does in Nicaragua when it snows!"

  12. Is it just me or does anyone else think Mike Johnson looks like the illegitimate child of Mark Russell (R.I.P.) #MikeJohnson #MarkRussell

  13. Picked up these two issues yesterday to complete both runs of this fun and interesting series by #MarkRussell and #RichardPace.

    I started reading this in the middle of the first arc and have really enjoyed it. I guess I'm unusual in that I don't mind reading comics out of sequence.

    I think that because I'm older and started reading comic books when getting missed issues wasn't easily possible, I'm used to it.

    How about you?

    Mark Russell died today. He was a brilliant satirist and political savant. I so enjoyed him from the 1970's into the 2000's. RIP my good man.
