Must Be Those Other Beatles…

I just can’t resist: This article in the NY Times is truly, um, “special”. I’m not sure even your average fanboy feels as strongly about the Image Comics reunion (I’m somehow surprised these artists are still even alive — shouldn’t the weight of history have crushed them or something?) as The Times’ Mr. Gustines, who begins his article with this whopper: “IMAGE UNITED is akin to a Beatles reunion.” He must be talking about these Beatles. Wow.
Labels: "comics elitists", free to be me, New York Times, nutball theories, shortbus
Nobody gets to pick what comics are hitting the shelves in their formative years. There is something about the raw enthusiasm and unabashed yearning for the awesomeness in those early image comics that I can't completely shake from my comics subconscious.
I pick up traces of it in the work of even the most fringe art-comickers of my micro-generation. Why hide from it? Just reconcile it!
Hey man, Picturebox has been known to sport some primo foil-stamped covers, hahaha.
I really want a gold foil cover. No…really.
Can you screen print on foil? I demand Cold Heat Special #0.
Either that or a Cold Heat/Powr Mastrs crossover!
Duuuude!
Stop the crimes, Times!
