Started to read Gisele's webcomic MA3 again, from the beginning. I think I got as far as partway through February 2009.

Only another 1,200 pages to go.

Hard to say if I'll be able to make it that far, as I can't really read these during my idle moments at work.

also read:
TARZAN ON THE PLANET OF THE APES #3 (of 5)
Edgar Rice Burroughs' THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT #3

What's LAST LOOK about?

Today I read part of ARCHIE JUMBO COMICS #274 - Man, they could fill ten of those 1000 Page Comics Digests with just Mike Pellowski stories. Sometimes I think he must have written more stories than Frank Doyle and George Gladir combined in the 1990s and 2000s. There's another lead story in here by the Kennedy brothers. I guess those guys must have been fast, and they really stockpiled a backlog of stories from them, because it seems like every new lead story that isn't a Dan Parent story is one that's been drawn by the Kennedys (not a bad thing, though). Y'know, I never noticed this before, but some of the figure drawings and panel compositions in the Kennedy brothers' stories remind me a little of Samm Schwartz. It's a little hard to recognize his influence at first, because Schwartz would never have drawn the characters with the styles of clothing that the K-bros give them, and they put a ton of background details in, while Schwartz' backgrounds were so sparse that they're austere. But a couple of the panels in this new lead story, "In Olden Days" (written by James Gartler, who was pretty new to ACP as a writer, even before they stopped buying new stories from anyone but Dan Parent) really have the look of a Samm Schwartz drawing, if you ignore the backgrounds.

Also today, I read ASTRO BOY "The Greatest Robot In The World". It's a 180-page epic (takes up almost an entire paperback volume of the series) about a giant robot named Pluto who appears and goes around challenging all the most powerful robots from different countries, destroying them one by one, just to prove that he's "the greatest robot in the world". He turns out to be not all bad, though, because he's been built only for the purpose of fighting other robots and has to obey the orders of his master, but eventually he turns against him and refuses to obey him any more. He battles Astro several times during the course of the story, but there's always something that happens to cut the battle short before the winner is decided. Then there's a big epic showdown at the end where a new mystery robot called Bora shows up, who is twice as powerful as even Pluto. It's a fun story, and there's a moral in there about robots not being created to fight, but to help humans (and each other), and that the true greatness of a robot isn't judged by the amount of horsepower he has or who he can beat in a fight.

Somehow I never managed to read much of Charles' Burns work, and I never seem to see his books on the shelves at my LCS, but I'll have to check him out some time.

How was Josie and Reggie?

BettyReggie

Reggie & Me #1 was awesome. Vader Reggie's dog is the narrator of the book. Reggie gets Vader from the dog pound because he sees how happy Hot Dog makes Jughead. Which was so sweet. All the new kids are involved in the story.Sherry, that gothic girl, Chunk, Lawrence. I was surprised because I haven't seen since the other story line where they all introduced to RiverDale High School a few years ago. And since all these kids left Reggie's party to go Veronica's Bash Reggie played tricks on them.

I just read my digital copy of Reggie & Me #1, I loved it. It was awesome.
