AVERY KAPLAN: This weekend I’m trying out TaleSpin: Flight of the Sky-Raker and Other Stories (The Disney Afternoon Adventures Vol. 2). There are tons of creators who labored on this thirteen-story assortment, which incorporates comics created from 1990 – 1997. While there’s a excessive chance that a few of these tales shall be re-reads for me, I don’t assume I’ve had the prospect to learn those who had been beforehand printed solely exterior the United States. Plus, whereas I loved the primary quantity of the sequence, this second entry features a “Timon and Pumbaa” story.
CY BELTRAN: Not positive how a lot I’ll be studying this weekend, but when I discover the time I plan to take a day on the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago and take a look at a number of the unimaginable cubicles (and hopefully snag a number of attention-grabbing ARCs!). I’ll even be attempting to wrap up Stephen King’s The Dead Zone earlier than taking a break from his books for a bit of bit… I’ve been actually having fun with them thus far however I believe I must test a number of the different books out on my to-read checklist as a little bit of a breather.
TAIMUR DAR: Between the Ultimate Universe making a comeback this week in Ultimate Invasion #1 and revisiting the unique Ultimate Spidey issues, I’m feeling nostalgic for these early Ultimate Marvel books. When I obtained again into comics, Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch had been simply wrapping up The Ultimates 2. So this weekend I’m going again to take a look at the commerce assortment of the primary Ultimates sequence they did. Likewise, I’ve been on a Mark Russell kick currently and with Pride Month coming to a detailed, it appears becoming to learn his acclaimed Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles comedian miniseries with artist Mike Feehan.
DEAN SIMONS: I’ve plenty of comics to learn for analysis and different issues however recreationally I shall be making extra headway with my 2000AD backlog of weeklies. I’m as much as September 2022’s Prog 2298 which has a neato cowl by Cliff Robinson and Dylan Teague. Progs 2298 and 2299 see the wrapping up of the newest batch of serials, notably the precise finale of James Peaty and Paul Marshall’s entertaining scifi romp Skip Tracer which began all the best way again in 2018’s Prog 2081.
