I started reading Giant Days today. It is good. I'm glad that we're seeing a lot more of these female-focused Slice of Life series. I'm really enjoying them.

I Hate Fairyland ended. I think it was either on the verge of outstaying its welcome or maybe already had but throughout I did enjoy Skottie Young's art.

I Hate Image Comics was a great FCBD spinoff. Something about playfully taking the piss out of their bestsellers felt good... like an Emmys opening where the host roasts all the prestige series.

She was as of December 2014, so it's possible that expired in December. But that said, "Marvel/DC exclusive" really just means "can't work for DC/Marvel."

Her vision was somewhere between Indiana Jones and a lesbian Lara Croft.  If you like Giant Days, you might also be interested in By Night, a new miniseries by the same author. It's not a slice-of-life story, but I really like the first issue. Also, maybe come over to the Newspaper Comics thread and check out some of Allison's earlier work on Bad Machinery.

I finished the Complete Phonogram by Gillen/McKelvie the other day. My take on it was that it was mostly just a comic about people who really like music, with some specific musical tastes and a sorta-specific timeframe. The magic stuff came across as a somewhat iffy-executed metaphor for a clique of judgmental people and how they interact with each other, and how it how they (barely) grow as people, because a literal take on the magic just doesn't seem worthwhile, even with The Immaterial Girl kinda leaning harder into it. I thought it was ok. I kinda got the feeling that it wanted to say more (or thought it was) but I'm unsure if I was missing something, and if anyone has thoughts, I'd love to hear them. It definitely feels like a sort of proto-Wic+Div. I probably enjoyed The Singles Club the most although as a 40 year old who wasn't into Britpop in England it kinda bounced off of me at times.

I had a friend who absolutely loved Phonogram but she was completely obsessed with (and a bit of snob about) Britpop so I assumed that that probably explained why she liked it. Especially because I don't think I knew anyone else who read it. I guess I probably wasn't wrong.

The funny thing is that Gillen would probably agree with you on most of this.

Dark Horse is adapting William Gibson's original Alien 3 script into a comic: https://www.cbr.com/william-gibson-alien-3-comic-book-series/ As someone who has gone over the years from really disliking Alien 3 to defending it, I'm really excited to see this take of it come out, even if not in movie form.

That’s *not* the monks/wooden planet one, right? Is it the one with Hicks and Newt escaping a space station with an airborne Alien virus and Ripley out of commission for the entire thing? If so, the scene where an Alien first manifests read like some primo body horror, hope the artist does it justice.

Anyone else read Outpost Zero? I enjoyed it a lot and Sean McKeever still writes really good teen characters. Hopefully without having editors dictating everything he does, it'll work out better than his Teen Titans run, and the plot seems like it'll be really, really interesting. Short version: it's set on a snow-covered planet settled by a generation ship with no contact to the rest of humanity (if they even exist). The writing in the first issue really had me wanting more, and the art was solid throughout out.

She could've done that while on the exclusive contract if she wanted. Exclusive means you just can't work for the other big company.

Chip answered a question on Twitter that his contract says he can't write "superheroes" for companies other than Marvel. He may be joking, since, well, he's Chip, but maybe not. But yeah, exclusives have never prevented anyone from working anywhere other than the other big company. https://twitter.com/zdarsky/status/1018969587361013760

Weatherman #2 is out this week. It continues to be pretty dang good. I didn't think they could top the unnerving scene from the previous issue, but they did. This book is definitely tugging at my heart strings while scratching that psychedelic sci-fi itch.
