yelosonWherein I squee about comics.
First, picked up the print copy of Bayou. Pureawesome. I actually hadn't been following it online, if only because waiting page by page is agonizing. I do think they could have went with a better paper stock, but DC is probably seeing this as "an experiment" and trying to cut costs. How sad. Pure art = experiment, long lasting series that you have to relaunch every 6 months isn't?
Second, Vagabond vol. 29. Return of my favorite character - Takuan Soho:
"You chose the way of the sword. I chose the way of the Buddha. The Path of the Buddha is the Path of the People. It was a journey to see things in man I never wanted to see."
There's this great theme where you get to see visual representations of the False Mind/Commanding Self for characters, and it just makes me realize how many comics we have from Japan and how few of those that are translated actually communicate serious stuff like religious ideas. I didn't think I could fall more in love with this series, but I have.
Mouse Guard. Rabbits. Interspecies negotiations. Serious stuff happens. I foresee serious fallout in the next series.
