What have you finished reading:
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman - So spoilers if you plan on reading the books or watching the series but the end of the book is basically that because the dimension cutting knife can cut ANYTHING theyre going to use the knife to KILL GOD. now i knew that they kill god in the book, but i thought it was a metaphor. or like, they kill someone who represents god or the church or something. but no. they straight up are going to go kill god and this is so metal.
[highlight to read spoilers. also warning: there are spoilers in the comments]
Chew Volume 7: Bad Apples Paperback by John Layman (Author), Rob Guillory (Artist) - so this is sort of a buddy cop comedy comic. the plot is that a bird flu broke out and chicken in all forms is illegal. the main character can eat things and immediately know the past of the things eaten, and this world is full of folks with powers like that. eat things and know their futures, write things so well you can taste them, eat things and gain super powers. etc.
Chew Volume 8: Family Recipes by John Layman (Author), Rob Guillory (Artist) - Ill continue my thoughts here since they blend together anyway. this comic started in like 08 or something so i was giving it a pass for some of its really shitty (sexist, homophobic, hella transphobic) "jokes" but these issues are like this one is 2013 and it shows no sign of stopping. this comic couldnt pass the bechdel test i dont think. i hate the way women are drawn. That said, if i turn my brain off its a fun/funny premise. the bird flu is shaking up to be a massive govt conspiracy. so im continuing on.
