Jeff Lemire

Um, I'm a big fan of that.

I recommend writers that I, I like, I, the first thing we started, I, Jeff Lemire, um, book.

I, I sent around, like I started reading Essex County.

Yeah.

What's the one with the antlers? They made the show.

Sweet tooth.

so good right so like I just I'll go on like how you did Mark Twain last year I'll go on a writer so I've done like a ton of Ed Brubaker I've done a ton of Bendis a ton of Jeff Lemire and so that's how I do it and that's the stuff I'm into lately it's been more fantasy stuff I've been really into Zelda I you know getting into gaming stuff so anything similar to adventure fantasy like that um I get into.

So I've jumped around to a lot of different stuff to answer the question you asked 15 minutes ago.

But for this one, we're going to talk about the...

I was just looking through and I was like, oh, what's some stuff that I did not read yet? and i was looking and i just came across and i didn't even realize this this came out it was a black label book it came out in february 2022 and it was a kind of uh you know out of continuity far in the future um swamp thing uh story and it and it was jeff lemire and doug monkey and i'm like those are two characters creators that i that i really like so i'm like why did we not talk about this before

I don't know.

And it's weird because I'm, I'm a mark for the black label book, especially the, the oversight, you know, cause it's that, that square magazine kind of format.

Who has the time

to read

all of it? of swamp thing from the from the beginning on like you just can't um so i've done like i've done some of that here and there if we cover something you know we've done some of that uh but again it's like you know the you know the the big stuff you know alec you know what he sacrificed you know like it's it's like jeff lemire did a great job of kind of like catching you up

Yeah, yeah.

And I just think it complements the story so well.

And I don't know if it was necessarily sold as a horror book, I guess more science fiction, but I also think about Jeff Lemire and Jock's Snow Angels, which definitely had horror elements.

I will have to add that to my list.

The thing that sticks out to me the most about Witches is...

Sure.

There's so many different ways you can approach horror with it.

So my last pick is by my favorite writer in comics, Jeff Lemire.

And he's been my favorite writer for quite a while.

And we will kick it off at number 10 with The Fury of Firestorm, number 7.

This is an incredibly intense Jeff Lemire-Raphael de la Torre series that has done a fascinating job of clarifying the bizarre circumstances behind Firestorm's creation and following up on Geoff John's reinvention of the character.

And this issue rebirths Firestorm in a completely new and terrifying form.

At number nine, it's Archie vs. the Terminator, number one.

As our two main characters are reunited for the first time in almost a year, as Marshall's tenure as Radiant Black gets more and more complicated, I just...

This series is so compelling that even just the characters sitting next to each other talking is a great read.

At number five, it's Minor Arcana, number 19, as Jeff Lemire takes us deep back in time to the grandfather of the main character and his link to the town's darkest secrets.

This was a fascinating issue with so many great moments.
