I skipped reading any comics today because my brother came over & we hanged out. So there was no time for reading any comics.

ASTRO BOY - "Crucifix Island", "Fortress of the Centaurs", "The Mad Machine", "Count Bat" (bringing me up to January 1959)

A few one-shot manga floppies: (these FCBD & HCF freebies are about the only manga left to be found in the traditional comic format)
GEKIGA! Drawn & Quarterly FCBD 2008
UZUMAKI Viz HCF 2013
RESIDENT EVIL Viz HCF 2014


SOLARLORD 83 (includes DRAGONMAN Vol.011) - An oddity found in the fifty-cent boxes, this is a standard-size/page-count comic with a cardboard cover, with a smaller (same width, but an inch and a half shorter) comic book stapled into the center. This was published in Hong Kong, so technically it's known as "manhwa". It was in Chinese, so I couldn't really read it, just follow the story through the pictures (if you're curious, it reads from right to left, the opposite of US comics). The art style looked to be about equally influenced by both US/European and Japanese styles of comic art, while having a unique style that seems distinct to HK comics.

train_man : densha otoko - Volumes 1, 2, and 3 (the complete story) - A love story (allegedly true) based on posts found on a thread on 2Channel, a popular internet forum in Japan. Interesting concept, but as a result the characters seem pretty 2-dimensional, and at 3 volumes, the story seems more than slightly padded-out. Given the lack of detail about the characters, one volume would have sufficed, and probably have given the story (such as it is) a little better pacing and more impact. Either that, or they should have decided to take the liberty to fictionalize and provide a little more background detail to make the characters seem more realistic. That same bulletin board thread is the basis for 3 different manga adaptations, as well as both a feature film and a television series in Japan. It seems likely that the latter would have had to take some liberties to fictionalize more to the story. I haven't read or seen any of the other adaptations, but I'd be curious to, if only to compare with this one. The film has been released on DVD with English subtitles, but is based on the manga. The story concerns a nerdy guy in a chance encounter with a pretty woman on a train, and his subsequent posting about his experience on an internet forum, which garners all sorts of comments, reactions, and advice from other forum users.

CHERYL BLOSSOM #2 [of 3] (Oct. 1995) - "Tough Turf" - Good one. I hadn't read this story before. Pencils were credited to both Dan DeCarlo and Dan Parent, so I'm curious exactly how that division of labor worked.

At Midnight I will be getting Archie #13 on my phone. I can't wait to read it.

I just finished reading Archie #13. It was great, Mr. Lodge moved the family to Switzerland. Wow, you would think that would be hard but Veronica misses Archie terribly. Now it seems like Veronica is the be the outcast but she becomes friends with Cheryl Bossom who is not what she seems. But that's not going happen, Cheryl plans a party for another student who not as rich as either Veronica or Cheryl but sadly that was all Cheryl's plan to start the fireworks. The party was just a mean joke that Veronica would be butt of & also that poor girl in their class. Jason Blossom even made apperance at the end. I hope to see more of him in future issues.

Yeah, Ant-Man is done, Spidey is scrapped as of #12, and there's at least a dozen more on the chopping block. I know Avengers and Captain Marvel will be starting over with new #1's, but that's about all the specifics I remember.  I'm quite weary from all these stops/starts/relaunches.   :-\

I guess I could hope that (as seemed to be indicated at the end of the story) it might get relaunched with a new "NOW" #1 as ANT-MAN AND STINGER. While nowhere close to one of Marvel's better sellers, it was more of a middle-ish seller, along with titles like SILVER SURFER and SQUADRON SUPREME.

It sold better than things like PATSY WALKER AKA HELLCAT, SQUIRREL GIRL, and MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR, which seem to be continuing... or are they? Can't say that the end of SPIDEY was a shock, as it was really at the bottom end of Marvel's sales, but those others I mentioned can't be that far ahead of it, either.
