Full Bleed 26

I'll have to do some math (which is hard), but I think with this edition of Full Bleed, I'm tied with the run on it I had back at Broken Frontier. This week, I talk about Robert Kirkman's video manifesto.

Comics Should Be Good! Strangeways: Murder Moon Review

The guys over at Comics Should Be Good! take a look at STRANGEWAYS: MURDER MOON and mostly like what they see. Go and give them some more hits, won't you?

How did I miss this?

In 2010, Dark Horse comics will be reprinting Guy Davis' work on THE MARQUIS (which has had a number of homes over the years), and there'll be a new series as well. Apparently it was announced at the comic-con at one of the many panels that I didn't attend.

Good news comes in threes, so I'm anticipating the next jolt.

The Strangeness of Brendan McCarthy: New Comic > Dr Strange & Spider-Man

Brendan McCarthy? In *my* Spider-Man/Dr. Strange?

It's more likely than you think. Which makes me pretty happy.

More Than Meets The Mogwai: Lee Marvin and google video

Likely to have some things to say about this particular film. But in the meantime, here's an interview with POINT BLANK star Lee Marvin, I'm guessing sometime shortly before his death in 1987.

One. Of. A. Kind.

Apparently this is a deal. I'm not entirely sure why. Lots of folks coming out of the woodwork to announce that the X-Men comics are all about prejudice and living as a persecuted minority. Which is funny, because to my eyes, everyone in the pages of that book is glossy and beautiful and at least come across as self-assured (not to mention comfortable in a skintight costume.) I'm not getting a lot of persecution out of that. Who doesn't want to be a beautiful mutant?

I'd like it more if the book was about the future, about inexorable change and how it best gets integrated into a world that isn't ready for it, whether it's forceful assimilation or quietly retaining a kernel of positive change, even in a sea of sameness that wears down shiny edges with overlapping sheets of dull mundanity.

But really guys, the book has been about persecution for a long, long time. At least it nominally was back when I read it printed on stone tablets that I bought at the corner store.

It gets really good about four minutes in. Your mileage may vary.

There may be real content tomorrow, but let The Wonder fill you in the interim.
