I've got half an hour left in To Shape A Dragon's Breath, and it's so good y'all. I got it from my library, but I'm gonna have to buy a copy. (I just gotta find where best to buy it). It's definitely going into my re-read pile. Here, have a Q&A 👇

Comics Read 05/12-29/2023

Last time I posted, I forgot to put the photo of the current to read stack here it is, with the top two books already read. 

Over this period of time I read Pearl volume 3 by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos. If you have been reading a lot of this blog, you may remember me writing about the first two volumes which I read as monthly floppies as they came out about four years ago. Again the gap since I last read Pearl means I have barely any memory of what happened in it’s plot or most of the supporting characters. My earlier posts say that I thought of it as a book that existed for the artist to draw subjects that excite him. While that is still true to a certain extent, this feels much more plot heavy. 

From what memories I do have of the first two arcs, Pearl’s relationship to her late mother was important. Her mother taught her tattooing, was a warm presence, if also a Yakuza boss. The new arc has more to do with her living father, who is somehow responsible for the mother’s death. Wet this responsibility mentioned in the first two arcs? I think so but I am  not certain.

What I am certain about is that Pearl’s romance with her boyfriend Ricky was touching then, and underused here. There is also a difficult to follow plot involving the FBI and rival Yakuza families.

The art here is incredible. The drawing has some near photographic detail in the drawing, with mostly non specific coloring choices that are atmospheric, full of interesting texture that adds to the drawing. 

I have to re-read the whole series before deciding if I want more of it.

A used book store went out of business while I was living nearby. They tried to find homes for as many books as possible, but they still had a couple of dumpsters worth to get rid of. I swung by to pick up a few books and take a few pics.

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR SQQ HE LOOKS SO FUCKINH DONE WITH LIFE

The recipe for SQQ is: calm on the outside, screaming on the inside.

#poorly drawn svsss #svsss #shen qingqiu #ask #No joke I'm pretty sure he is my favourite 'guy gets transporte'd to another world' character #I recently rewatched the (sadly never to be continued) animated version of SVSSS and I cant get over how perfect he is for the role #He is *so* done with everything going on around him. Forced to be calm and mean. Born to scream and be kind. #The gap between the internal and external dialogue is one of my fav character/writing quirks. #The personification of the 'he lied' dialogue tag. #Love how deep the SVSSS meta and literary analysis community gets with him. Piosplayhouse has opened my eyes to trans SQQ #what is the system is *not* a metaphor for pressure to adhere to societal norms of gender and sexuality? #I really need to finish the books...that is probably my biggest burning hole in my 'DNF' pile. I liked it! I just got busy.
