My favorite page from Green Lantern Rebirth

I was at the comic book store earlier and noticed that The Witcher: The Bear and the Butterfly is now out in a paperback volume. It's a short, four issue series that came out last year.

I enjoyed it. The artwork is good, but not groundbreaking. I loved the story, and the characters' dialog is well written. The banter from the side characters draws you in to the world right away, too -- something that'll be familiar to fans of the games. It's the only Witcher comic that I've read, so I can't compare it to any others, but it captured the familiar elements of a quest from the games. And it does feel like some kind of quest that would be in the game. It doesn't mention any kind of larger story taking place; just a self-contained adventure here.

Speaking of which, I don't think you'll need to have played the games (or seen the TV show, or read the novels, etc.) to enjoy this. If all you know about Geralt is that our hero is the protagonist of a fantasy RPG, you won't be lost.

However, I did notice that it's just 104 pages total, and $20. I don't know how pricing usually goes with Dark Horse Comics, but that's almost twice as much per page as the DC volumes I've read recently. So, that may affect your decision. It won't take long to get through it.

My list for this week! Check and see what's good!

Beyond Megalith #0 - Always good to see stuff from Bad Idea!

Bizarro Year None #1 (Of 4) - Kevin Smith am never writing death of Bizarro.

Cruel Universe 2 #9 (Of 12) - The EC legend continues!

Ghost Machine The Official Guidebook #1 (Of 5) - So if you haven't been following Ghost Machine, it's a sub-imprint at Image of multiple related titles. The two best of which, I find, are Geiger and Redcoat, but there are more! This appears to be a mini explaining the GM universe.

JSA #18 - Always a JSA fan!

Minor Threats The Last Devil Left Alive #4 - nearing the end of the latest Minor Threats mini!

Sacrificers #20 - Man, I am BEHIND!

Wonder Man #1 (Of 5) - Following the success of the Disney+ show, Wonder Man gets his own book again!

X-Men #28

I used to own a comic shop, since I stopped I have been pretty OOTL regarding what is out there. But there are a few characters I like to keep up with. I check out the weekly lists here, but that does not always paint a complete picture, plus that is new stuff would like to check up on what I have missed since 2019.

Sam Keith changed my life. I had given up on comics. Everything was looking the same. The stories were the same.

A friend came into art class one day and plopped down a copy of Darker Image and said "Look at this." A preposterously proportioned human male and a cartoonish woman with a bit of a belly that was obviously inspired by Frank Frazetta. The variations on 9 panels were completely shattered by bizarre organic and inorganic framings.

It was radically different from anything else. Then I started reading it. I had no idea what was going on. And that is a wonderful feeling.

In the Maxx comic you would read the issue and just have to sit back for a bit and figure out what you just read. The letters column was like reading dissertations from psychology majors. The whole Sam Keith package was multiple layers from art, story telling, and psychology all wrapped up in a very not easy to open package.

Sam Keith changed me. He changed the comics industry. He will be missed.

Every character who wears one exclaims that it's an oh so bold and embarrassing design. To me they seem like ordinary superhero costumes. It's not even like the armored underwear costumes that some characters wear. Anyone with more info on this?

Reference pics:

Been away for a bit and I find out, in my absence, our usual source of new comics kinda fell down.

Not sure what's going on, but it is run by one guy and life does happen (ask me how I know this!)

So subbing in League of Comic Geeks for now to keep the conversation going!

What was I buying again? Feels like a year but it's only been 2 months:

Ultimates #22 - Almost the end of the Ultimate line.

X-Men #27 - Hasn't really recovered from the latest crossover sillyness.

Lobo #1 - Written by Skotty Young which is just the right kind of unhinged for Lobo.

Wonder Woman #31 - Always a great read!

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #2 - Rebooted AGAIN!

Geiger #22 - Continuing the Geiger/Northlander soon to be Redcoat team up!

Mortal Thor #8 - The human side of Thor has been compelling.

Catacomb of Torment #9 - The new era of EC comtinues!

D'orc #1 - No idea, but the concept looks hilarious! Half Dwarf, Half Orc.

Future Is ****** #11 - I'm amazed that they are on track for their 60 issue plan!

Soldier-turned-superhuman assassin for hire Slade Wilson has made hundreds of enemies in his day, and now one of them is taking his world apart piece by piece.

Kate Kane has lived in the shadow of a prophecy and the machinations of a religion devoted to the end of all things. How do you fight the devil when the devil is real? And how do you win?

It’s a guts-soaked path from DC K.O. to the end of the universe, where Lobo is going to scratch his name and number in the Source Wall with a cool knife.
