Vacation, all I ever wanted
I'm going to San Francisco and won't be back until Tuesday, so don't expect any posts until then. Maybe I'll get to visit that Isotope store that Jamie Sime manages, but I'll probably shackled to the rest of my family and be forced to do whatever they want to do. On the other hand, maybe four straight days without dealing with the world of comics is a good idea. I can certainly see some positive aspects to it.
I will leave you with this question; feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section found just below this post. I wonder, what are some good comics that get across sex and sensuality, but not in an outright "hardcore" or "pornographic" manner? There's no doubt that most comics seem to be written by and for the post-pubescent of this world, yet it seems like a mature, intelligent take on romance and the physical expression of it is a rare thing to find among the comic books of today.
I was glad to see that Catwoman #32 by Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips and Stefano Gaudiano had Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle act somewhat like real people on their date. I preferred it to seeing another comic with some brooding, dark Batman (which at this point I find very, very boring). Still, I doubt I will find any smart and sexy content in most superhero books. I like Howard Chaykin’s way of injecting sex into everything, but he admits that his work is meant to be over-the-top (and that’s why I like it). I think that most of the work of the Hernandez Bros. fits what I’m looking for.
Anything else?
