Only for register: I've read Cosmic Ghost Rider and I am only talking about it here because I saw some raving reviews. It is like Deadpool with a flaming skull. If you see it on a shelf, run for your life.

I'm continuing my summer horror binge with Bitter Root Volume 1 and possibly Jook Joint.

Continuing on my DCU:Rebirth and DCU:Pre-Crisis projects around here. So far, having a lot of fun. :)

And I am trying to get into modern Marvel which is... interesting.

I've read Karnak: The Flaw In All Things. Warren Ellis is only doing short runs in Marvel titles, in order to clearly grab the money and not making big commitments, what I think it is fair, because in these works we have had Moon Knight and now Karnak, to whom Ellis gives some depth putting him in a urban enviroment with some hints of 70's Kung Fu films.
Ellis weaves an intriguing story involving Shield and a human boy exposed to Terringen and who can create some mutation in other human. The spice is the philosofical questions addressed to Karnak, who is cleverly defied throughout the story.

I'm taking a break from horror comics to read Alex de Campi's Bad Girls.

I just finished Philip K. Dick NBM Comics, a graphic bio of the imaginative sci-fi writer that I thought was very good, and a re-read of Stumptown Volume 4, with private eye Dex set in a fictional Portland, OR.

I realized/remembered I like the noir writing of Ed Brubaker as well as Rucka, so I'm taking a bunch of the former's books that I haven't read yet out of the library, and I plan to do the same with Rucka's.

>10 Euryale: I have read The Fade Out, and loved it. :-) Velvet is my favorite series so far from Brubaker.

I just read and very much liked the final one (#4) in the Brubaker/Phillips Kill or Be Killed series, and now I'm halfway through the second collected volume of their Sleeper Season 2 story.

I've finished The Song of Roland by Michel Rabagliati that is a slice-of-life of a difficult moment, but told in a very true and delicate fashion.

I've finished Alone. Chaboute uses his storytelling skills to tell the tale of a man that lives in a lighthouse and the mistery around him, showing us the vast landscape surrounding the rock in wordless sequences. Very beautiful and poetic.
