bookshelves: comics
This is a wonderful collection of short Noir crime type stories by various authors and illustrators. Some are better than others but all succeed in creating that noir "mood". All of the stories have that sinister, yet cocky, mysterious and somehow abrupt, smoky, slow feeling that is essential in anything claiming to be Noir. Even the titles stayed true to the genre "The Albanian," "The Last HIt," "Ladies Choice". And the art was supurb....some of it would normally not appeal to me, but it all fit within its own story. An amazing little bit by Azzarello with Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon (so so good, the best talent in art right now) on inks at the very end with just the right amount of nondisclosure to make you go "aha!" at the end. A very short read unfortunately, most stories are under 10 pages but well worth it. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80294342 Youth in Revolt (Paperback) by C.D. Payne

I feel that one should visit the museum in question first to get the most out of reading this book. I went a few years back and left mostly confused with a little wonder and fascination mixed in. However in the years since, it has haunted me...what exactly WAS that place? Were those exhibits for real? Was it all a joke? So reading Weschler's musings and research on exactly those questions was very fulfilling and enlightening. Honestly if you dont live in LA or plan to ever go to the Museum of Jurassic Technology you may not understand or even care. If you DO plan on visiting, go to the museum first, leave brimming with questions and curiosity then get this book to put it all together and REALLY give you something to ponder...those poor ants. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79882522 The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines (Paperback) by Mike Madrid
