TWO LINKS: Disputations: “The hoarded wealth not only cries aloud, but after it corrodes, it acts as a witness for the prosecution — and, in a particularly ghoulish image, it goes on to corrode the flesh of the rich!” (more, brief but really interesting & powerful)

and, via Journalista, a good review of Jaime Hernandez’s Ghost of Hoppers. I commented on the comic here, but Derek Badman’s review does some very cool quickie panel analysis to show how awesome JH really is. The cool thing is that there’s more to say about both of the sequences he discusses–the way the tree stump parallels Izzie’s posture, and the rhythm of “noticing” features of the landscape fits with the theme of Maggie’s return to her old neighborhood; the POV shift at the end of the ghost-dog sequence, when we suddenly see Maggie from the back…. JH is awesome. There will be more comicsness here soon, maybe before the weekend.
