Christina Lee, a busy illustrator whose work regularly appears in both new (Vox) and traditional media (Business Week, Wall Street Journal), introduced their comics to the wider world relatively recently, with a pretty solid beginner cartoonist’s mini which was followed shortly after by a major evolution with her books The Method and Object. Often at shows, I’m given work or traded comics but, sadly, I read less and less of it.

It seems impossible to imagine comics without Milton Caniff. It’s not just that he was popular during his time; many comics strips that were extremely popular in the first half of the 20th century are all but forgotten today. Not Caniff, though, his name and style lived on in the works of followers, which included talents like Kirby and Toth; therefore, his name lives through their modern decedents as well. His influence, as both an artist and a writer, wasn’t limited to the United States either.

Les trembles, Thomas Merceron’s 2024 release from French publisher Quintal, is a beguiling object: a handsome black hardcover with holographic detailing that largely refuses to indicate anything about its contents.

Felicitations! The hour is upon us. The review. The review! We must bear witness, by the rock, to The Last Delivery and the boy which leads it. What trip he makes. What task he endures. What life he spends. Oh, how he spends! Life. Life! Spend by the drop, by the cup, by the bottle. Spent on the Last House and the descent within. Descend with me. Reap what is sown.

There are, broadly speaking, two ways to listen to the 1968 song “Do It Again” by the Beach Boys. If you listen to it on its own, paying little attention to the rest of the Beach Boys’ discography up until that point, then all you’re getting is an effort that, though largely straightforward, is incredibly charming and compelling, a highlight of late-’60s pop-rock.

Mary Tyler MooreHawk opens, after a publisher’s note about a fictional other publisher, with an introduction from Dave Baker, ostensibly the artist behind this graphic novel, informing us that, no, he did not create this book. It was mailed to him from the future. We learn, eventually, that a different Dave Baker – TWO Dave Bakers, in fact – from the future – a future? – created the contents of Mary Tyler MooreHawk. Perhaps one of them is future him. Perhaps not. It’s unclear. That is fine.

Mangaversity 19 min Welcome one, welcome all, to Mangaversity! This is my attempt to continue my contribution to the Soliciting Multiversity column while messing with the format to make it my own. Special thanks to Zack Davisson for pointing out this should’ve been my choice for the title from the get go. Month 2 is upon us and it is…late. I promise I won’t make a habit of this, though December may also come in closer to mid-month than top. Sorry folks.

Podcast (MMM) 1 min Welcome Back to Make Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we’ll be looking at Marvel books, old and new! We discuss fun Marvel comics, Marvel news, Marvel history and (not so) recently ended X-men eras. Make Mine Multiversity was a twice-monthly podcast that premiered on the first and third Friday of every month. Now it’s a little more irregular. If you haven't listen to an episode before, I promise this one is worth a listen.

16 min The "Greater Secrets" team of Ananth Hirsch and Tess Stone have been doing comics for quite a while, separately and together. Both come from webcomics - Hirsch co-creating "Johnny Wander" and "Barbarous" with Yuko Ota, and Tess creating "Not Drunk Enough" - but are certainly no strangers to the other corners of the comics world. Tess is the letterer on the "The Adventure Zone" graphic novel series while Hirsch co-wrote "Pixels of You".
