I've been hearing this track a lot on my Peloton lately, and I really dig it. I have very little knowledge of Seal other than I dig the Rose song that became the ubiquitous Homecoming track in the '90s. My good friend Dave is a pretty big fan, and we share a lot of common music - everything from Cynic and Dillinger to Timberlake's first record. I may need to look a little harder at Seal.
Also, the lyrics really prove prescient to 2025, and this track was released in 1991. Damn!
Daniel Warren Johnson's final issue as writer of Transformers, and Skybound is making a hell of a big claim in the solicitation:
NCBD:
"This is it. And the new era of TRANSFORMERS begins with the most shocking ending to ANY comic book this year!"
I've already seen the cover they solicited for Transformers 25, and Optimus is on it. That said, if we look back at how Kirkman - who is taking over writing duties as of 25 - handled the end of The Walking Dead, we see that he's not adverse to soliciting fake covers to keep a mystery! I, for one, support that level of misdirection in the age of spoilers, and cannot wait to read DWJ's outro! What a fantastic run this has been!
CalExit returned last month after a nearly 8-year absence. It took me a few days to dig out my copies of the original series, and while I have them slated for a re-read soon, I haven't gotten around to that yet. Looks like next month's issue #3 is the final for this new series, so we'll see where it goes from there. I gotta say, I miss seeing Black Mask comics on the shelf. Let's hope this is the start of something.
The final issue of Blood Type. Can't wait to see how this shakes out - and what EC might have in store for us next!
Watch:
Bryan Fuller makes his Directorial debut this December 3rd with Dust Bunny.
I can tell you, I only watched the opening few seconds of this and I didn't need to watch any more. It's got that softly lit Bryan Fuller look, and that's enough for me.
