You Need To Watch Dynamo Dream

dynamo dream.jpg

The first episode of Dynamo came out yesterday and it had not really been on my radar. I saw footage of CGI being worked on for this, but I didn’t know it was for this title. There’s a scene where the main character walks onto a lift and is brought down a few levels which had been all over my Youtube quite some time ago, so you may recognize that scene as well.

I got along with this better than the first, but it similarly builds into an ending I didn’t end up caring all that much about. None of the characters are all that interesting, so everything hinged on the central mystery for me, and since that was no ...more

This benefits from having a cool and novel concept, but, for me, it gets a little hammy and strange to really take advantage of it. A lot of wild stuff happens with not much connective tissue. The art didn’t do much for me either. I would have really ...more

Much better defined than the last Lemire I tried, Little Monsters. The mythology of the world is fairly interesting, and why I would keep reading, if I do. This first volume is mostly all action though, and it would probably have helped it along a lo ...more

This was alright. Post apocalyptic vampire kids develop a schism in their ranks with the sudden appearance of a man. It’s not very meaty but a fun enough read, though I don’t think I’ll continue with it.

Ties in naturally to the rest of the series, and starts becoming even more satisfying as it pulls some threads from the Blade Runner sequel. This has been a much better series of world tie-ins than I expected. Hope it also ends well in the next two v ...more

A rich homage and iteration of some of the best ideas from Chrichton’s Sphere, brought together by good character work and dynamics. Gorgeous art too. A weird, wild ride.

Queen Lucia by E.F. Benson

This was okay, but decidedly dated in the same way the humour in the same vein of the Jeeves books. The gentry are tickled by various happenings, but it all feels a bit shallow, despite the characters being pretty complex and flawed.

Laurie Stevens, The Dark Before Dawn

Richard K. Morgan
“The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

Alaya Dawn Johnson
“And so Ikne walked away from his idyll and got a job sharpshooting for the Perambuco guerrillas in Salvador. It wasn't an easy life, and one day he got shot in the stomach by a lead bullet. The bullet fell in love with him, of course, but she couldn't stop the slow bleed of his gastric cavity into his pancreas, and she felt terrible, which was too bad, since he'd known all along what would happen.
He died; he always said he would.
Someone had to take out the bullet.”
Alaya Dawn Johnson, The Summer Prince

Tow Ubukata
“Balot was gripped by the Doctor's words, not even nodding now. Choice--right. She felt the two words spinning around like hands on a clock, then snapping into position together. A magic moment. Magic that would transport Balot to a different place. In the interior workings of choice and right a number of complicated cogs spun together. The doctor was one of those cogs.”
Tow Ubukata, Mardock Scramble

“Anger didn't do it justice. It was rage and hurt and grief and something hot enough, brutal enough to melt a man's conscience. Whatever damage I was fighting, he knew his own demons and saw them when he looked at me.
I'd never felt so close to him as I did in that moment.
And I never wanted to beat his head against the table so much.”
K.C. Alexander, Necrotech
