There are a few things I'm really digging about Spawn (around 34 issues in so far) but I gotta say: I ADORE the secondary characters.

Burke and 'Twitch?' Icons, when I read Blood Feud I was genuinely scared for Twitch.

Wanda, Terry and Cyan? I love that we still get this ongoing family dynamic. It serves as a reminder of what Al's lost while also giving us a chance to have some real wholesome moments.

The alleyway ensemble? Wonderful. Bobby and Bootsie in particular. Look at this interaction!!

Jason Wynn is also a perfectly loathsome bastard, the real "character you love to hate" type. I do hope they do more with the whole anti-spawn thing, but since we have a new Redeemer, it doesn't seem likely.

On top of all that, the guest writers really elevate the book, especially in the minis (though I maintain that Blood Feud could and probably should have been part of the main book and not a tie-in). Talented writers like Gaiman and Moore do a lot with the material, but I have to say that Dave Sim's guest spot on issue 10 was especially fun. It's pretty self contained but fantastically surreal and works as a good interlude/pacebreak chapter.

That's not to disparage McFarlane's own writing, but it's obvious that he's a little too reliant on exposition to get his stories across and doesn't have the same way with prose that Moore does. An Alan Moore story will also be pretty wordy but it rarely feels extraneous in the same way that McFarlane's writing can (especially in earlier issues).

Every day I hope to god Dave Sims was being serious when he said he was putting every single part of his awful Cerebus comic straight into the public domain when he died. Apparently he’s already trying to get it under a public use liscence, or something like that

Huh. Yeah, that will be at least... interesting.

Tho what I’m really interested in is; at least if I recall correctly; Neil Gaiman mentioning wanting to release his works to the PD when he dies. I hope he keeps that promise...

There’s a Seattle Mariners game on the MLB Network right now, with Seattle’s announcers. Even though I lived over a hundred miles south of Seattle when I was in Washington, they’re the same announcers I enjoyed when I would watch the games up there.

It’s really nice to hear Dave Sims’ voice again. Now that I live in northern Nevada, everyone here is all about the San Francisco Giants -- not that they’re a bad team to root for (even though, since I grew up a Dodgers fan, it’s hard for me to do so), but...the Cubs didn’t have really good announcers when I lived in Illinois (Chip Carey was no Harry Carey). Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, one of the White Sox announcers, is annoying (though I have a love/hate relationship with his signature “He gone!” call on strikeouts). I grew up on Vin Scully, Rick Monday, et al for the Dodgers. Loved them. Seattle was the first team with TV commentators I liked since L.A. So I’m happy to hear them on cable tonight.

From Comic to Film Finally! Cerebus the Aardvark and Where to Find Him

The Absurd, Surreal, Metaphysical and Fractured Destiny of Cerebus and where to find it, with this #moviereview included. #fantasy #anthropomorphism #cgi #independentfilm @CerebusFilm

Available to watch on Plex (Free) Cerebus the Aardvark is very grey and furry–often very grumpy–and that won’t stop him from dealing with Necross the Mad and Elron. Although some viewers of this indie work may see this film as a work in progress, it’s actually considered complete–warts and all. The animation quality is reminiscent of those late 90s video games. The marionette style quality in The…
