I like the melodicism of this new one but miss the deeper melancholy that suffuses the early stuff.

Always full of genuine enthusiasm for both the work and the human stories behind them. The man is a menace to my bank account though!

Often, I'll try to match the tone of a novel with some music, e.g., with sci-fi I might go for movie / game scores, '70s kosmische music, or even atmospheric black metal like Mare Cognitum, Darkspace, Labyrinthus Stellarum, etc., or, as another example, I was listening to a ton of '80s and '90s punk and hardcore while reading the Love and Rockets 'Locas' collection, which fit very well with the setting. Otherwise, I could be cracking through my backlog of new releases, or even just indulging in old favourites. Like I said, totally mood dependent.

The comic that cost this writer his life [The Eternaut]
How this 55-year-old's first comic made over $5,000,000 [My Favourite Thing is Monsters]
I don't see any of Charles Burns' stuff here but this is still a hell of a bundle! You even get the first two Love and Rockets collections, though that might be a bit unfair to Jaime as his 'Locas' stories took a little while to really hit their stride.

Until now I had been holding out hope for a Tyranny 2 getting made once fortunes were on the upswing, or at least another trip to Eora at some stage. Oh well, at least their Fallout should be interesting.

His gruesome depictions of scurvy and seafaring life were particularly memorable for me.
My favourite of his is still The Lost City of Z, I highly recommend for any who haven't read it.

But yeah, within context, Rise was really the crud lining the bottom of the IP barrel; so bad it actively erased any good or potential within the preceding two films and by itself managed to render the entire trilogy pointless. That's a unique level of bad even Gigli can't touch.

The rapid fire publishing rate was a little suss too but makes some sense if there's a team behind the books. In any case, I am curious to hear how you get on and whether you find any substance to the question of the smut-level divide between demographics. My own guess would be that there's something out there to cater to every kink and persuasion, but I suppose it's a question of genre conventions here.

Don't get me wrong, I did very much enjoy their previous album, Ruins of the Fading Light, and the EP from last year, its just that Stygian Rose tends to get the first spin when I'm feeling the mood for their particular brand of epic doom. Same goes for The Vision Bleak, Weird Tales blew me away when I heard it though they've been releasing some top-notch 'horror metal' since day one.

I love that Crypt Sermon album, one of my recent faves too.

I saw the new Resident Evil movie recently and it was so much goddamn fun. I loved Cregger's approach with it, you can tell he adores the games and absolutely nailed the spirit of playing the games. Great balance of shocks, twisted creativity and gut busting laughs.
