ANOTHER COLD MORNING is issue 8, and the one where the sadness beneath the rage comes to the fore most clearly. It’s stand alone, available on Comixology and I can’t recommend it enough.

Transmet rages against things, and does it in an outrageous mode that is clearly beyond politeness, but there are things so vile in the world that politeness would be more obscene than anything Spider ejaculates into the void. It’s cruel, hateful and offensive for very moral reasons.

(It’s the error of politeness which trips up a lot of people with Ennis as well. Ennis is one of the writers in the medium most interested in genuine questions of morality and right, of common and basic decency. The style is so vivid that some people only see that, and can’t get to the substance.)

People also find it funny. You may not find hyperbolic responses to everyday frustrations funny.

Do try ANOTHER COLD MORNING though. It’s very quiet, very angry. If Transmet’s general mode doesn’t appeal, it’s one that you can at least go “Oh, right, I get that this stuff is why people like it” and move on.

Transmet is one of my favorites, and this kinda sums up why. Angry and in your face, yes, but for good reason.

It’s also now a bit of artifact from another time, just as Watchmen is. It’s just that, culturally, the late 90s and early 00s aren’t as inscribed in our memories as Watchmen’s 1985. Since that time, we’ve sort of forgotten, as a culture, what it was like to be angry at the rising success of surveillance and the failure of the press to keep us informed in any meaningful way. For the first time, that balance had flipped and it was more likely that you were being watched than watching.

Sorry, but you don’t really get to decide that. Time does.

I’m writing a Master’s thesis about Gillen’s run on Journey Into Mystery, and I’m certainly not the only academic taking these stories about as seriously as is possible.

So not only is this Anonymous wrong, they are provably so.

Reblog this if you would buy a book with an LGBTQ main character, whose sexuality was not the primary focus of the novel

If you would not, reblog this.

Christopher unpacks “political correctness,” discusses the honesty of language, and issues a call for inclusivity. Also—jump cuts!

My friends Kurt and Davis and I are doing a video series three days a week. Two and a Half Beards features two and a half beards, with Kurt providing the half beard, though in my opinion the count is more like four beards because a ginger beard is worth at least two and a half on its own.

I moved from Spokane, WA, to Columbia, SC, and we decided this was a good way to be able to still see each other with 2700 miles between us. What do we talk about? Mostly the things we would have talked about anyway: Life, language, music, philosophy, soccer/football, and random other things. 

We have a 5 minute limit, so it won’t rob you of too much of your day. Check it out if you’re so inclined.
