Recent Reading
So I recently finished Prophet, by Brandon Graham, Giannis Milogiannis, Simon Roy and Farel Dalrymple. The final volume, Earth War, rounds out the story set a few years ago in the the far-far-future, with the final battle between Old Man Prophet and the resurrected Earth Empire.

So, I think I need to recap a couple of things that happened through the year, mostly because I didn’t find the time to write about them in the moment.

Zine Round-Up

Private Eye
The new comic by Brian K Vaughn, Marcos Martin and Munsta Vicente, set in the future where the Internet crashed and everyone preserves their privacy, even to the point of maintaining a “Nym”, an alter-ego with costume.

In The Post
Time to catch up on a couple of things that I forgot or missed. The Proof is a free newspaper in Chicago filled with random articles, comics, poetry and etc. The only payment is towards the shipping and subscription costs.
