Whoo-hoo, ordered! I've been waiting for this to come available. It looks like a terrific collection of essays.
I very much enjoyed your Grant Morrison book, and your comics reviews nearly always align with my own opinions.
It's exciting to see the Legion getting this kind of attention again. LLL!
Of course our reviews nearly always align! We're both nearly always right.
Glad you ordered it! Tell me what you think about the book.
I'm obviously late but this showed up finally in my local comic store this week. One copy on the new release shelf and it was mine all mine. I'm trying to get through an essay a day. It refreshing to read such well written criticism about Legion especially as I spend every day studying pompous literary critics who write with the sole purpose of being obsure.
