Happy Friday, all!
Anthony here filling in for Matt, who is currently without internet in his new home. Or maybe he’s just taking the day to mentally prepare himself because METS PLAYOFF BASEBALL STARTS TONIGHT! Matt and I are both giant Mets fans, which basically just means we enjoy getting our hearts broken for some reason. But I’ve got a good feeling about this year.
Aside from watching the Mets and playing Zelda, I’ve spent the last week burning through Grant Morrison’s ANIMAL MAN. I know I’m over 30 years late on the subject, but damn if that wasn’t some of the best “comic booking” I’ve ever experienced in my life. I had heard all the hype, I knew about the infamous final issue, and I was still blown away. The way it plays with the form and continuity is unparalleled. If you’re like me and haven’t read it yet, make the time and fix that ASAP.
We got some cool previews for you this week, including a five-page look at WAKANDA #1 from Marvel (which is perfect because there’s a very good looking movie coming out in about a month). Plus some great reviews from our awesome team; check it all out below and we’ll be back with more good stuff in a week!
(And don’t forget: Spider-Man is a Mets fan.)
