A few quick comics related stuff, for what their worth.

Kurt Busiek is still capable of amazing work and it shows in both ARROWSMITH #5 and ASTRO CITY: LOCAL HEROES #6. The two series are about to have a crossover, which I'll be happy to pick up. Also, both will be continuing, with a AC one-shot appearing shortly.

I was surprised to actually find myself enjoying the latest issue of CEREBUS #298, wherein Cerebus has a chat with his son, Shep-Shep. Despite my problems with much of Sims political/social positions the last few years it is going to be weird NOT to be able to pick up a new issue of the book every month. My first experience with Sim's creation was way back in issue #26, lo those many years ago. Two more issues to go!
