What have you been reading lately?

I just started the new Gibson book. I like it lots so far (and like that it’s sci fi) & always feel like I learn about writing from reading his work. The first chapter has a room where a guy lives that he’s made into like a big tupperware that he can just hose out when it gets dirty. 

I really dug Sam Bosma’s Fantasy basketball and I managed to grab The hanging tower from him at SPX. It feels like a shot story I’ll wanna read over and over. It’s short but with a lot of implied back story. and he draws sooo good. 

I got a stack of 80’s Lensmen books and for some reason I’ve been reading them out of order. This issue had some dudes attack an alien base where aliens were experimenting on humans to turn them into aliens.it’s pretty basic stuff. 

The new Lose was gooood. I like the crime guys with tails in this one. I also got a lot of his zines when I saw Deforge recently. I’m impressed by how much emotional weight he gets in so few lines or pages. 

Bozz Chronicles is an old favorite of mine that I’m re-reading to write an intro for. It is so much fun.

And I’ve been back on Gold digger recently. Penny and Ace got married in this issue and there were some butt jokes. I guess Gina teaches now. I’m out of the loop. 

I also read a comic called Collection (that I cant find a cover image online for.) It’s an 80’s Eternity comic about the last humans on an ice world fighting off an army of robots who use humans to power them. it’s kind of fun and bleak at the same time.
