#206. Gatchaman: Only One Earth by Tommy Lee Edwards,
Nuno Plati, Giada Marchisio, Nicola "Nik" Righi, & John Workman
Miniseries about Galactor blowing up a country so they can use fungus powered mechs to further their plans. It's more somber than that description suggests, but I had a fun time.

#205. Gatchaman: Galactor by Steve Orlando, Kath Lobo, Pasquale Qualano, Serg Acuña, Rebecca Nalty, & Frank Cvetkovic
Berg Katse is such a bastard. I think I like this more than main series, in no small part because Berg is the exact kind of flashy evil villain that Orlando excels at writing

It also has a little bonus story by Tommy Lee Edwards, Daniel Hansen, & John Workman that's brief, but I really enjoy because of Hansen's art. It's got this inky, scratchy quality that I'm not sure is very Gatchaman, but looks really cool with these designs

#204. Gatchaman Vol. 1 by Cullen Bunn, Chris Batista, Sabrina Cintron, Carlos Lopez, & Buddy Beaudoin
Slightly western-superhero take on Gatchaman (which basically just means there's a bit of blood in some of the fight scenes) that otherwise feels like a pretty good rendition of a Gatchaman episode

#203. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025)
It's a music biopic! I think there's a pretty good movie in here, but its one where someone along the line trusted the audience more and did less of that "spell out the theme so the dumb audience doesn't miss it stuff" & not make a up a whole person

#200. Tsunami by Ned Wenlock
Surprisingly bleak YA story about an alienated kid in New Zealand and his attempts to be friends with the cool new girl in school. The cute look art style disarms you before delivering a pretty well constructed story about bullying, family dynamics, and other fun topics

The thing that stood out the most to me this time is just how good it looks, Mazzucchelli and Lewis are working on an absolute other level here. Just some of the best any comic from anywhere has ever looked ever

#197. Good Morning, Great Old One by Tsuyoshi Takaki
Short one-shot by the Black Torch/Heart Gear guy about an eldritch horror becoming friend with a random schoolgirl he meets on the beach. It's only 11 pages long, but they're a hoot. Make me want to finish Takaki's other series that I've started

#196. VIRGIN PUNK Clockwork Girl (2025)
This fucking rules. @jetzeroinfinity.bsky.social compared this to an actual 80s/90s OVA that got pulled out of cold storage and that's really what it feels like. Intentional grimey and violent, but also smart? Or at least with a clear point it's trying to make

#195. Angel's Egg (1985)
I'm not sure I "got" this movie after one watch, but it was honestly kind fun by itself watching an anime that left me feeling a little unsure and confused, which is not a sensation I've had since watching stuff like Lain and Boogiepop Phantom as a teenager

Pretty good historical drama about queer/miner labor solidarity in Thatcher-era Britain! I'm not familiar enough with this topic to comment on the accuracy or anything, but it's well put together, that doesn't feel too pat or neat, & all the actors are great. Good times!

90s emo from Boston/San Diego. This is the kind of 90s rock that I generally need a few listens to before I can sort out if I like it or not, but it's pretty solid on first listen. Thanks to Numero Group for putting on my radar
