Silver Surfer #55
Infinity Gauntlet tie-in.
The tie-ins that came before were pretty interesting. I liked seeing what was going on in the rest of the universe. From this point, the tie-ins are pretty pointless. They mostly involve the Surfer daydreaming or battles in the middle of the mind. There are still 5 more issues to go!

Nightwing #122 this week adds a passing encounter to Dick Grayson's past.
The end of issue #121 promised that with the likelihood that Dick's latest enemy - Olivia Pearce, super-weapons company CEO aggravating the conflicts of Blüdhaven and profiting thereby - was someone from his Robin past.
The run so far's had Pearce in the company of the " Cirque du Sin " and its mask-faced representative - the reason why not yet apparent.
Pearce has been an obvious challenge to Dick's current role in Blüdhaven, but not in a way immediately complementary to the Cirque du Sin as presented so far - to its face that casually exceeds whatever spatial bounds the scene so far's set.
( Which is fine - nothing says that contemporaneous motifs have to complement each other. )

The Angriest Dog in the World
“The humor in the strip is based on the sickness of people’s pitiful state of unhappiness and misery. There’s humor in struggling in ignorance, but I also find it heroic the way people forge on despite the despair they often feel.” — David Lynch
Filmmaker David Lynch sadly passed away today. In his memory I’m sharing a newspaper strip he worked on called ‘The Angriest Dog in the World’.
