Linkage You Can Dance To.

- If you ignore the “look how influential our copyright-violating little community is” treatise that starts off this entry, you can gander at about 15 pages of one of my favorite Marvel comics of the 90s, Doctor Strange / Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment. Man, scans_daily makes it hard – there’s occasionally a real gem in there (usually contributed by someone like 44oz_soda, who recently gave readers “The Man Who Hated Christmas” from Action Comics #105) but for the most part, it’s filled with churlish, delusional people who bitch and whine about the direction of comics they’ve downloaded without paying for. They also tend to like really shitty superhero books and let slash creep into every conversation ever. Yes, we get it, Batman’s gay, blah blah fucking blah.
(Note to my 46-year-old brother: yes, that was some R-Rated language. Please do not call our 65-year-old mother and complain that her 32-year-old son curses on the internet ever again.)
- Stuart Immonen redesigns Archie and Jughead and Betty and Veronica. God, I just wish that’s how it would happen.
- Ink and Thunder is Becky Cloonan’s new blog, where she shows off a bunch of her in-progress art.
- Go read Immortal by Dean Haspiel. (Some cartoon nudity, so be careful at work.) I’d rank this among my ten favorite comics of this year, if I were going to do such a list, but I’ve decided not to. Haspiel’s a national freakin’ treasure. If I ran Marvel Comics, he’d be on a retro-ish Hulk title in about 8 seconds.
- A couple of my photos are in the new First Second catalog. You can see one of them on the First Second blog. The other one is here.
- Another brilliant remix by Tetsubo Productions, this time the Greg Land-drawn Ultimate Power
#1#21. Read it and weep tears of pure joy at its magnificence.
1Thanks to Demon for that catch.
