It's the kind of book no-one expects to be "fun". It is what it is - Poe tales illustrated by Corben. I like most Poe; I love the shit out of Corben. You change the Poe and you’re putting a lot of stock in my love for Corben. The book becomes BIG FOOT, which I bought every issue just so I can stare at the pages.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Cthulhu Tales – never read Lovecraft, won’t start now. I think I was just introduced to him too late and became annoyed by the comic community’s obsession with him. I read a pitch once for WToT that was Lovecraft inspired to the extent that I would have had to of read the piece to understand the pitch. I told the guy I never read Lovecraft and got lectured for it. His story was rejected, obviously. Fuck Lovecraft.<BR/><BR/>Never heard of TALENT. All I now know about it is that it suffered from overexposure that I completely dodged, thankfully, so I may dig it. I’ll pick it up.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750393288313413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14008247.post-1148412166690745562006-05-23T13:22:00.000-06:002006-05-23T13:22:00.000-06:00I guess I must have skipped over all of the intern...I guess I must have skipped over all of the internet buzz around Talent because that title really came out of nowhere for me and impressed me greatly. Golden and Snierski (or whatever the co-writers name is) usually leave me kind of cold but I thought that this issue was a great, layered introduction to the world they're setting up.Scott Cederlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184941142922866755noreply@blogger.com
