Ssalefish GSO First Look #331 for 9.6.23
I’m reading through the Green Lantern Corps omnibus that came out last week and I’m heartened that it’s as good as I remember even though I had forgotten that Dave Gibbons (as in the Watchmen artist) had written the first half of that stuff. I only recalled him doing the Recharged mini series that kicked things off, but he was there on the ongoing straight into the Sinestro Corps War. Kind of like how everyone remembers Frank Quitely as being the artist for Grant Morrison’s New X-Men because he did the first few, but I’m pretty sure Igor Kordey of all people did the most, and Ethan van Sciver might have done more than Quitely, too. Also, everything I remember of Preacher is in the first half.
My creative messing this week has mainly been dialing in the paint job I’ll be attempting on my new Fender Starcaster body when it arrives near the end of September (pictured in the thumbnail to this post) and fiddling with my new Focusrite audio interface to record direct from my Kemper Stage (which you can hear in the player above).
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, September 6th (Tuesday, September 5th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
Amazing Spider-Man #33
Barnstormers #3
Batman #137 - “Gotham War” part 2.
Batman Adventures Omnibus HC - probably about a dozen years ago, I got a full run of Batman Adventures, including #12, the first appearance of Harley Quinn, for $100. I read them, I enjoyed them, and then about a year later I needed money to take to SDCC and I sold them all to Jay for $200. I doubled my money, I thought I was doing pretty good. Then I think Jay sold them for like $1,000! But now I can get them all back for around the price that I originally paid! Such is life.
Batman Justice Buster TP vol. 1 - the first in a new line of DC manga originally published on Webtoons.
