Jay Reatard - The Night of Broken Glass

 

Been thinking about this man of late. Damn, 14 years this past January.
 


NCBD:

Pretty cool Pull this week:


I feel like it's been forever since the previous issue of SIKTC! Can't wait to dig back in. 


After re-reading The Nice House By the Lake and going directly into The Nice House By The Sea issue #1, I am psyched for this book! The first series proved to be even more psychologically profound than I'd remembered, and things are certainly ramping up to a new level in this second phase. Can't wait to see where this goes. 


I have many of the original Marvel Transformers issues, starting at, I think, issue # 4. I do not have nor have I ever read number 1, so this facsimile edition is kind of a nostalgic must. 


Quintessons! Quintessons! Quintessons!!!


I have been waiting for this one for a while now. A Frankenstein series that tells the story of each major body part and where it came from is just too good to pass up, even if this one didn't have the added luster of Michael Walsh being the creator. 


Whenever I see Saga show up on my pull, it always feels like an afterthought these days. Then I read the issue and I remember why the book is so great. Not gonna lie - I really think that four-year hiatus hurt this book's momentum. I've loved it from the beginning, and I'm certainly not going anywhere, but it just doesn't feel the same. Maybe a re-read would help? Yeah, well, take a number...


I've been seeing a lot of Etrigan of late, what with re-reading Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, continuing on from that into Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and contemplating a Hit Man re-read somewhere in the not-so-distant future. And then, here he is again. 




Watch:

See and read nothing:


Solid thriller, and knowing absolutely nothing made this a fantastic viewing experience. Props to Zoe Kravitz.

Card:

From Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot, which you can buy HERE.


• Ace of Wands
• I: The Magician
• Knight of Wands

A breakthrough of Will leads to a successful business transaction and a renewed energy of creative force.

Pretty sure I know exactly what this is referring to.
