Comics Read 02/06-20/2023

I have finally gotten to the reading more comics, and it is continuation of a series I started years ago. This time it’s Money Shot volume 3, written by Tim Seeley and Sara Beattie, drawing by Caroline Leigh Layne, colored by Kurt Michael Russell, with letters by Crank! I remember enjoying it a lot when I read it about one and a half years ago. But I also forgot much of what I read in the first two volumes. This included everyone’s name, most of the non XXX-Explorer characters. But i did remember the basic premise, scientists engage in porn with alien species to fund their studies in an otherwise messed up world. The first two arcs were about the XXX-Explorers adventures on other planets where they couldn’t help get into the political and ecological messes over there. This one is mostly on Earth, and about they ways that having sex with professional partners messes up the professional dynamics. Surprisingly also involves a world visited in some trade paperback back matter that was originally published in Playboy.

If Money Shot wasn’t so silly it would be so depressing, and it knows this. I appreciate it take on how the world is overwhelmingly fucked up and people being more willing to invest in porn than the sciences, is a symptom of that, and in someways complicates it more. 

The art is great. I know that going forward there will be a different artist, but I just want to thank Layne on her distinct character and creature designs, fun facial expressions and playful sense of action. Also Russell for coloring this to the goofy but legible tone.

James Tynion IV Launches New Line at Dark Horse Comics

James Tynion IV, Tiny Onion Studios, and Dark Horse Comics are partnering on a new line at Dark Horse that will feature horror and “true weird” stories. The line will contain new and previously published creator-owned work from Tynion beginning with Blue Book in February 2023, and The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos in June 2023, both of which were previously published by Substack.

Blue Book, a five-issue series, “explores strange but true stories of aliens and the supernatural. The first series details Betty and Barney Hill’s abduction encounter, also known as the first widely-publicized abduction that went on to shape and influence all future encounter stories.” (Dark Horse Comics) The series is by Tynion, artist Michael Avon Oeming, and letterer Aditya Bidikar. Each issue will include a short “True Weird” comic.

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos, a five-issue series, “focuses on the lonely teenage mad scientist, Christopher Chaos. When the cute boy at high school turns out to be a deadly creature, Christopher finds himself pitted in a world of monsters, heroes, and a cult of hunters out to kill them all.” (Dark Horse Comics) The series concept was created by Tynion, written by Tate Brombal, illustrated by Isaac Goodhart, colored by Kurt Michael Russell, and lettered by Aditya Bidikar.

Here's how Power Placement is gonna work. You will step up here and show me your power. And, yes, you will do so in front of the entire class. I will then determine where you will be assigned. Hero or sidekick.
