Weeks of June 27 and July 4, 2011
Rob Dean On Monday, June 27, 2011 at 12:30PM Every week, we list our recommendations of new music, books, comics, movies and TV to check out. This is Recs in Effect:
We're going to be taking next monday off (as we love our country and freedom and Jesus and why don't you feel that way you godless hippie bastard?). So this recommendation covers the next two weeks.
New Comic (June 28th)
This one is a blind recommendation. BUT! It is by Charles Soule. Charles Soule wrote one of my favorite graphic novels of 2009: Strongman. Strongman was an excellent, funny, sad, well-paced story that blended the inherent ridiculousness of luchadores with familiar trappings of a noir missing person case. Due to his excellent writing, Soule has become one of those people whose work I will always support, buying sight unseen (see Eric Powell, Brian K. Vaughan, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, James Jean). Anyways, 27: First Set is the story of a musician who encounters rock's infamous '27 Club' - that is the group of talented musicians who die at the age of 27. I'm sure it's a great genre-blending mash-up of fun, nerdiness and inventive approaches to well previously trodden territory.
My First (Failed) Attempt at Random Snark
Rob Dean On Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 3:00PM I logged in to Facebook and saw something from a tangential friend (we haven't spoken in years) on my wall. I responded in a nerdy, snarky fashion:
Then I was told "you just said she's gonna fail the bar exam" so I quickly deleted my comment and felt bad. But for one glorious moment, I was a random snarky troll...
