Ssalefish GSO First Look #229 for 9.22.21
This Disney trip was probably the most stressful of the three I’ve been on in the last two years. We crammed in 18 rides across three parks in one 12-hour day on Thursday (the Mouse feels if he can get you on 7.5, you’ve got nothing to complain about), which was probably a little too much straight out the gate. Then the Florida sun got the best of us on Friday morning, but we booted and rallied back at the campsite and retook Hollywood Studios that evening. I didn’t get a boarding group for Rise of Resistance this time, but there will be plenty of other opportunities in the future.
I’ve watched the first two of the four episodes of Y the Last Man that were released as the premiere. It seems like they took fewer liberties with it than other recent Vertigo adaptations like Preacher and Sweet Tooth, but overall it seems like they’re going for a very Walking Dead feel with the gore and cinematography, which I guess will have to get better the further they get from the event, but still isn’t what I’m in the mood for at the moment.

Marjorie Finnegan Temporal Criminal #5 - speaking of Y the Last Man, I had completely forgotten how much Goran Sudzuka had drawn of the series, and getting zero credit for it at that. I’m not saying Pia Guerra wasn’t the co-creator and did the most, but it’s kind of like how people remember Frank Quitely doing all of Grant Morrison’s New X-Men, and there was a lot of memorable stuff in the issues he did, but I’m pretty sure Ethan Van Sciver AND Igor Kordy did more than he did.
