I mentioned something like that a while ago on the thread. Basically, the comic book format is dying; publishers like Fantagraphics are moving entirely to the trade paperback (or hardcover) format. Top Shelf is starting to experiment with web comics.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Did you see that PW also has a piece on IDW's new line of children's comics?

Anyone else reading RASL?

Yeah, I've read #1 & #2. I'm semi-interested in it, and if it was a large publisher I might just wait for a collection, but since it's Jeff Smith, I'm trying to keep him in art supplies.
I loved Bone, and I suspect I'll love this in time, but it's such early days right now.

I just got 2 today. I'm loving the sparseness of it, but the lack of much dialogue means the issues go by WAY TOO FAST. I'm reminded why I normally stick to TPBs - single issues just wind up frustrating me with their shortness.

Yeah, same for me, which is why I'd wait for the collection if it wasn't a small publisher.

What is RASL?
I picked up my comic books today, which included the two most recent issues of Angel and the most recent Dresden Files.
Angel is finally starting to get interesting for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Whoever said upthread the Murphy looks wrong was right. She looks too harsh. Isn't Murphy mostly described as looking too soft and feminine to be as tough as she is? The female zoologist reminds me of Fred from Angel. I like the storyline and it works really well visually as well as story-wise.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Which was the last Angel? Was it the one with all the in-jokes? Because honestly, I laughed my fool head off at Gwen using Storm's line.
