I generally like everything I have read by Moore. But a year has passed since reading a bunch of League of Extraordinary Gents and I still can’t think of a reason why I would recommend it to anybody or why I would read any more if I even could.

That’s amazing! It is a really unique work and the background of its creation is fascinating.

I was able to pick up Children of Mu Town at SPX, so I’ll probably share my thoughts on that soon.

Wow. Man.

someone described my comic as “Whump fiction” or “Whomp fiction” where the protagonist goes through a series of terrible events, it’s a term from the fanfic world. They compared it to the Galaxy Express 999 manga, which I started reading, and it’s pretty fucked up and weird but in kind of an interesting way. This manga is bonkers

The new Hunter X Hunter chapter is finally out after so many years! It’s freely available right now on the Viz website. The current arc is so absurdly complex that I had to watch a 97 minute recap video in order to get back on the train. But it was worth it! The new chapter feels slight, but it’s also an excellent return – an entertaining and well illustrated fight scene starring new weirdos with weird powers. One of those weirdos just has a slightly modified version of Gold Experience from JoJo, but to my surprise it does get turned in a slightly different direction that I found pretty compelling. Loved his fighting move of transforming a bunch of handcuffs into iron strength pigeons that then flew around and transformed back into handcuffs ON HIS ENEMIES’ HANDS.
