Also, here are this past week& #39;s additions to the ongoing quarantine reading list, which we& #39;ve crowdsourced from a group of very smart and very generous comics pros, publicists, journos, and experts. A thread... https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/coronavirus-comics-reading-list">https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/c...
First up, writer @ifyoucantwell recommended Mister Miracle by @TomKingTK and @MitchGerads, writing an excellent personal analysis of why it worked so well, and why new readers should jump in and old readers should re-visit. https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/christopher-cantwell-mister-miracle">https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/c...
Next, comics journo @PunkRokMomJeans recommended Rebellion/2000 AD& #39;s Zenith: Phase 01 by Grant Morrison & Steve Yeowell...a perfect comic for folks who process hard times like these by confronting the difficulty rather than staying relentlessly positive. https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/zenith-phase-01-grant-morrison">https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/z...
Mid-way through the week @van_jensen recommended Darwyn Cooke& #39;s adaptations (four in total) of Richard Stark& #39;s Parker novels. As Van noted, Cooke is a master, and these books are wonderful ways to stoke one& #39;s love of this medium. https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/darwyn-cooke-parker-graphic-novels">https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/d...
Artist @MeghanHetrick recommended the visionary European comic, The Incal, a visual tour de force from storytelling masters Jodorowsky and Moebius. https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/the-incal-jodorowsky-moebius">https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/t...
Finally, @EmoComicWriter closed out the week by recommending the very very funny book, Shirtless Bear Fighter (I mean, that title alone!). That& #39;s it for this week...we& #39;ll be adding a whole new set this week as well, so check back! https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/2020/5/4/writer-justin-richards-recommends-shirtless-bear-fighter">https://www.comicsbookcase.com/updates/2...
