CY BELTRAN: I’ve lastly accomplished my trek through Stephen King’s The Stand… and now it’s time to proceed my march towards The Dark Tower with… Danse Macabre? Ok okay, so I could be taking one other slight detour, however there are some actually cool essays and concepts from the e-book that I wanna try (together with an essay about The Stand I wanna learn) earlier than I leap into the rest. As for comics, I plan to move to my LCBS sooner or later and seize the newest problems with Superman, Nightcrawlers, Amazing Spider-Man and Poison Ivy (all by a bunch of fantastic creators!).
AVERY KAPLAN: This weekend, I’m going to be persevering with Hidden Systems: Water, Electricity, the Internet, and the Secrets Behind the Systems We Use Every Day by Dan Nott. This fascinating non-fiction comedian illuminates a few of the titular hidden methods which encompass us and have an effect on us daily, however which we’d take with no consideration. Then, so far as prose goes, I’m impressed by Cy’s entry to revisit Danse Macabre.

I’ve been ready to have much less stuff on my plate so I can really and correctly take pleasure in it. This weekend seems to be to be one of the best time so I’ll be digging into it in the end.
DEAN SIMONS: As I nurse a foul chilly (in April?!) I shall be participating in consolation studying – primarily persevering with my read-through of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. Currently at quantity 62, the place the Straw Hat crew lastly attain Fish Man Island. Unfortunately, my Comixology HD editions had been downgraded over a 12 months in the past by Amazon and never restored so it’s arduous to learn the copies I paid for – Oda can have very busy panels with character particulars occurring within the background – so I’m alternating between the poor Comixology downgrades and Shuesha’s free Manga Plus app – which provides the choice to pick out decision (if solely the Shonen Jump app had been this superior) on the main drawback which you could solely learn it as soon as – so keep targeted and don’t depart the app!
