Onion AV Club has an excellent interview with los Bros Hernandez. Like I said back in October, I'm a huge fan of Jaime's work. I admit tho, that I've never really gotten into Beto's stuff as much. I appreciate it. I can see why it's good and why other people love it. But it's just never clicked for me in the same way the Maggie/Hopey stories do. I remain enticed by the big Locas book, but since I've already read most of the comix, it's not something I feel a burning need to buy Right Now. Maybe one of these months. Maybe after I've gotten my way thru all the Sandman volumes.
In other news, Portishead is apparently working on a new album. I'm not sure whether I'm more excited or apprehensive. For me, they'll always be so very closely tied with the mid-90s, with where I was and who I was in those days. Dummy is one of those discs that practically time-travels me back to another place and time. I feel the same way about Massive Attack. As good as Mezzanine was (they kinda lost me with 100th Window), I feel like it's another band that also happens to be called Massive Attack cos for me it's all about Blue Lines. I was gonna say that I'll still go out and buy the new Portishead, but actually I'm alot pickier these days and I'll probably listen to it first and not get it if I think it sucks.
