A short list, but too many things have been drawing time away from my leisure reading. I tried to focus on finishing some things I have been avoiding and blending in some new ones.
Last Flight is the best of this week’s lot. The book held the plot, and added a new character which set up issue three. Willpower prevents me from grabbing issue #3 today but I would be happy to continue reading the story. The writer, Marc Guggenheim, has never gotten my attention. It may be the limited number of issues are keeping the plot focused but whatever the change, it is good to read. Yes, the world is ending, but the focus is on a father trying to find his daughter and get her on the last flight off the planet.
I did not enjoy Righteous Thirst For Vengeance but I wanted to talk about them anyway. I read #1 last week and I decided to read #2 due to the minimal amount of dialog but a really solid use of art to keep internal emotions visible to the reader. Issue 2 was a little less clear on this point but it did progress the story a little. I would recommend this as something to look at if you want a good example of pictures replacing words. I think of it as a “mute comic” which is just me creating a term that I hope relates my point without dialog. (And the circle completes.)
