Finally read @Jordan_Crane's Keeping Two in its entirety after buying the first minicomic 20-odd years ago, and the effect was like visiting a depressed old friend who suddenly morphs into a seraph. That's some comic.

@sadnessspecter Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything.

With the pedantic caveat that it already has several (Berlin Alexanderplatz, Dekalog, Scenes from a Marriage, Fishing with John) I'd add The Prisoner, The Twilight Zone, The Sopranos, Too Old to Die Young, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Tim & Eric, and The Young Pope/The New Pope https://t.co/ZFQKmpZHnv

Out of stock

I love Stephen King, I'm wearing a "Stephen King Rules" t-shirt to the NYT picket today (granted, bc it's one of the only red items of clothing I have), but the Dark Tower series is perhaps the single unhappiest reading experience I've ever had.

Hmm. Maybe a really good cultural criticism book about a widely known topic, like Carl Wilson’s Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste or Eula Biss’s On Immunity. Lots of stuff in each book for readers of all interests to chew on. https://t.co/jjG8issp1W

I'm continuing to repost Roots and Beginnings, my old column on the things that got me interested in SF fantasy and horror, at my Patreon. This week's entry: Alvin Schwartz & Stephen Gammell's immortal Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. https://t.co/EU6IJZryPU https://t.co/RkyG3WpWbs

@joshgondelman the Pepes he's been tweeting are clearly a display of fandom for Matt Furie's hilarious alternative-comics classic Boy's Club (2005), where the humorous cartoon frog originated

You wanna know a terrific book? The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling by @aubreysitterson and Chris Moreno. Lays out the incredibly complex and confusing history of pro wrestling in a way both me and my 11 year old could understand and greatly enjoy. Recommended!
