A really fun mini series from 2006 that no one seems to remember is Beyond by Scott Kolins and the late great Dwayne McDuffie. #comicsky #booksky If Dwayne McDuffie ever wrote a boring comic book I haven't read it.

R.I.P. Dan Simmons. The man could write like nobody's business. If Mr. Simmons ever wrote a bad book I haven't read it. #booksky

Welcome back Vertigo Comics, two different yet equally fun books the last two weeks with Bleeding Hearts and End Of Life. I always felt DC Comics dropping Vertigo was a mistake and I'm happy to have it back and see what they have to offer next. #comicsky #booksky
