Seeing lots of online comic strips posted here, not a lot of discussion about actual comic BOOKS.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I put up a link to the comics list for last Wednesday, 6/28. If there’s interest I can do it again for next Wednesday, 7/3…

Picked up:

Action #1056 - Never thought I’d bee buying Superman stuff again, but everything since the “Dawn of DC” launch has been really good.

Batman: Brave and the Bold #2 - Oversized anthology book, Joker story from Tom King and Mitch Gerads has been really good.

Cerebus In Hell 6/2023 - Really just a pity buy at this point. It’s not particularly good, but Sim has some major health challenges and if buying it helps him keep the lights on, fine.

Cityboy #2 - Really liking the “We Are Legends” books. This, Spirit World, and The Vigil. Maybe more this and Spirit World than the Vigil.

Green Arrow #3 - See “Dawn of DC” message for Action. All of it has been solid so far.

The Oddly Pedestrial Life of Christopher Chaos #1 - Written and illustrated by people I’ve never heard of, it’s a solid read. Not sure I fully understand it yet. I guess the best way to describe it is Christopher is a Mathemagician. He does stuff with formulas you shouldn’t be able to do. Like a cross between Jenny Quick saying a super speed formula out loud crossed with Doctor Strange.

I can’t say Iiked it enough to put it on my pull list, but I’ll give it a few issues.

I mean, technically, yeah, Fables and Reflections is out of order. :)

Here’s how the collections relate to the individual issues:

Preludes and Nocturnes = Sandman #1–8
The Doll’s House = 9-16
Dream Country = 17-20
Season of Mists = 21–28
A Game of You = 32–37

So it’s all pretty straight forward until the jump between Season of Mists and Game of You.

Where you’re at now:
Fables and Reflections - #29–31, 38–40, 50; The Sandman Special #1; and Vertigo Preview No. 1

I kind of hate it when they do stuff like this. #29-31 should have been added to the end of Season of Mists. Then put 38-40 at the end of A Game of You.

Next is Brief Lives, which is 41–49, so #50 could have been easily added there.

The GOOD news is, after that, it’s a straight shot to the end:

Worlds’ End - 51–56
The Kindly Ones - 57–69 +Vertigo Jam No. 1
The Wake - 70–75
Sandman: Overture - 1-6.
