@seqscholars This is one reason why Reed Richards is so difficult to write convincingly today. Yet his conservative patriarchal role sits oddly with his exploratory, world-expanding nature — and THAT’s the potential that makes him potentially subversive, IMO.

@seqscholars I love this analysis. Tom King often veers toward a kind of low-affect, poker-faced horror, I think — his preference for certain grids serves that effect — but my gosh what Walta is bringing here, in terms of deadpan terror. Striking!

@WhitTaylorComix So good — brings up many memories of the complexities, and weird tenderness, of parenting. Thanks!

@josephsdsu @michaelbheyman #CamelFan from way back — an enthusiasm shared with old friends. This album was the first without cofounder/cowriter Pete Bardens — a new lineup, one that didn’t last. Best track? Easily “Ice,” an instrumental I’ve wanted to play at every memorial — haunting
