There's Always a Meeting on Monday
And here it is:
Meet Mr. Stein page 9
It's even a rhyme!
I wish it happened all the time!
Ugh. It really is Monday, isn't it?
A glimpse of things to come:
Onward and upward, unbelievers!

The Demolisher
I've always liked Deathlok.
I first encountered The Demolisher in the pages of an issue of Marvel-Team-Up when I was around seven. He immediately became dear to my twisted pre-teen heart. Part super-hero, part monster he was an amalgam of the two things I loved most at the time. And I immediately loved how he talked to the 'puter in his head. Even before Wolverine, Deathlok was my first experience with a real take-no-prisoners anti-hero. And I dug the heck out of it. When I was a kid I had a doghouse out back behind the house, but no dog, so that became my secret hideout as it were. I kept that copy of MTU and an issue of Tomb of Dracula under a foam mat in the doghouse to keep them safe from my mother's periodic comic book purges. Later I sought out the old issues of Amazing Adventures with Deathlok's solo adventures. This was my first exposure to the kind of post-apocalyptic future that would became one of my favorite sci-fi scenarios. Luther Manning would be right at home in the world of Mad Max or on the road to the Dark Tower.
Somebody needs to do a cool new Deathlok miniseries with the Luther Manning cyborg wandering through more post-apocalyptic adventures. I mean it was cool when he met Captain America and all, but Deathlok belongs in the ravaged future, alone against the nuclear mutants.
I wonder who'd be a good writer for the new adventures of Deathlok? It doesn't seem like a good fit for my go-to guys Bendis, Brubaker or Millar somehow. Maybe Warren Ellis. Or Joss Whedon. or Brian K. Vaughn? He's probably all post-apocalypticked out. Those are all pie in the sky dreams though.
Oh, I know who! Jason Aaron. Yeah, that's the dude. That would be cool. I bet he could do Deathlok some sweet nuclear justice.
Speaking of which, SCALPED is a pretty freaking great comic. If you're not reading it already, you should probably check it out.
Okay, bye.

Zudoctober
A new month. A new Zuda competition. But this one with a twist! The Brothers Timony are guest editors this month and have hand picked the ten entries going head to head for the big banana. And a fine job it is they've done, the wee laddies. This month's crop of contestants collectively has perhaps the finest art on display of any single contest.
However, I'm only going to sing the praises of one comic in particular this round, 'cause it's just so good that it's in a league of its own. And that comic is AZURE by saulone.
The art in this comic is so striking that I am compelled to just stare deep into the blue. And then stare some more. Nothing short of spectacular. Just take a good long gaze at that panel above. That is the good shit, mez ameez. And the best news of all is that the caliber of the writing matches that of the artwork. Saulone has masterfully created a sense of place and atmosphere that really makes you feel as if you are a part of this strange new world. I swear I could almost hear the sound effects pinging in my head and feel the textures of the catwalks and walls and water. Reading this comic reminds me a bit of playing the game MYST. I really liked that game. And I really like this comic.
AZURE is a real artistic achievement. I reeeeeeealllllly hope this one takes October by storm. I want the next chapter. Need. Must. Will.
Vote AZURE!
