CY BELTRAN: I’ve lastly accomplished my trek through Stephen King’s The Stand… and now it’s time to proceed my march towards The Darkish Tower with… Danse Macabre? Okay okay, so I is perhaps taking one other slight detour, however there are some actually cool essays and concepts from the ebook that I wanna take a look at (together with an essay about The Stand I wanna learn) earlier than I leap into the rest. As for comics, I plan to move to my LCBS in some unspecified time in the future and seize the most recent problems with Superman, Nightcrawlers, Superb Spider-Man and Poison Ivy (all by a bunch of wonderful creators!).

At the moment at quantity 62, the place the Straw Hat crew lastly attain Fish Man Island. Sadly, my Comixology HD editions have been downgraded over a yr in the past by Amazon and never restored so it’s exhausting to learn the copies I paid for – Oda can have very busy panels with character particulars occurring within the background – so I’m alternating between the poor Comixology downgrades and Shuesha’s free Manga Plus app – which supplies the choice to pick decision (if solely the Shonen Soar app have been this superior) on the main drawback you could solely learn it as soon as – so keep centered and don’t go away the app!
