Jester’s cover is great. Congrats to him. Don’t forget, folks, that ‘mythological creatures’ exist in the real world: He looks like Divine's baby brother. That made me spit out my coffee. Nicely done

DubipR , I was actually kind of surprised that they quietly ended Bongo comics after almost 30 years. For some reason I think Stephen Hillenburg's (Spongebob Squarepants creator) death had something to do with it, because he was publishing comics through them I don't know the full story on why they pulled the plug on Bongo. Simpsons sold incredibly well, maybe not stateside but internationally it was huge. I know at the time of closing in 2018, Futurama and Simpsons weren't huge numbers on TV, which helped the comics at the time but it was such a shock that out of nowhere of the announcement. Bongo was created to shepherd Greoning's projects, but it was quality product, every book.

I'm a sports fan, primarily baseball and hockey. I've read my share of sports comics, US and manga and I really enjoy a lot of the manga sports series I've read. From something simple as Ace of the Diamond (baseball) to the insanely silly Ike! Inachū Takkyū-bu (Ping Pong Club), a lot of the sports manga are just good slice of life comics that are needed to break up the spandex comic reading world. What's great about it from the manga view is that's every sport under the sun that has a manga or weekly series. From cards, dominos, Go (highly recommend to Kikaru No Go) to worldwide attention getting sports (Slam Dunk, Ashita No Joe, etc.). Sports in a lot these series isn't the focus it's the mechanism that makes the characters appealing.

Read of the week.. Hey Kids! Comics! vol. 3 #1 If you haven't been reading Howard Chaykin's opus about the comic industry you're truly missing out on a brilliant and satirical read. Chaykin has taken anecdotes from comic legends, comic hanger-ons and every legendary story about the people behind the history of funnybooks. You heard the stories, know or met some these people in your lifetime. Highly Recommended. I saw this on the list of new releases but I totally forgot about it when I was at the shop. I’ll probably stop by over the weekend and see if they still have it. I liked the first two volumes a lot. I'm hoping there's a collected HC with all 3 volumes. Uncle Howard is probably the best, most honest storyteller about the history of comics. His knowledge is invaluable. If you haven't, go on YouTube and look up Chaykin interviews in the past 2/3 years, they're amazing listens/views.
