SILENCE! #68 HOLIDAY SPECIAL!
July 12th, 2013
Right then, sorry about this. Gary Lactus here. Hello. We’re very nearly back. What we have here is an exciting mixture of TWO amazing formats.
FORMAT 1: I, Gary Lactus apologise my way through some reviews of things like, (well exactly like to be honest) Satellite Sam, The Walking Dead, Uber, Avengers, The Superior Foes Of Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Dial H.
FORMAT 2: A LIVE recording from Cartoon County, straight after The Beast Must Die (in his best Dan White costume), had been interviewed by Alex Fitch of Panel Borders, the radio programme and podcast about comics. He’s proper and it’s good so definitely go and enjoy it! What happened after isn’t as good as Panel Borders but it’s fun. Alex joins us along with plenty of folk like Dave Stone, Joe Decie, David Lloyd and Bobsy chipping in with opinions on comics! Actually it’s a bit of a drunken free for all but with me holding the mic throughout and going on with Bobsy for too long about Jupiter’s Legacy. There’s also talk of Aces Weekly and… I’m sure there was something else… Anyway, what’s the point in me listing everything here? I’m not some goddamn Narratorbot! Hopefully if you’ve read as far as this you’ll have some some idea as to whether you want to listen or not.
Oh yes, I do sing an amazing song which you’d never guess was completely improvised. And there’s a special new Summer Special theme tune.
It’s fffphreschhh!!!
SILENCE! is proudly sponsored by the two greatest comics shops on the planet, DAVE’S COMICS of Brighton and GOSH COMICS of London.

If I can complain: a few weeks ago beast wanted to talk about Michael deforge’s lose, but then he never did. Respectfully tell him to get back up on that horse. Kisses.

I assure you he is a ripe pustule full of Michael DeForge and ready to burst.

Silence! has been so very silent recently that I’m slightly disappointed Brian Azzarello hasn’t made a laboured pun about it.
Having to turn elsewhere for my comics sustenance, the best thing I found was this very entertaining interview podcast with Henry Flint. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a comic creator so charmingly oblivious to marvel and DC comics

I came here to mount a defence of mild outrage concerning Dave Stone’s comments re: that Daredevil “thumbs-up” panel (ish 28).
But looking at it just now, I barked with laughter, as Matt Murdock looks like he’s noticed a small amount of shit under his thumbnail.
It’s only a minor thing, though. Rodriguez’s art is quite personable, in the Pulido/Martin tradition (and there’s a little Chris Burnham-style grit, which is nice).
Enjoy your holidays. I shall be filling the hiatus with my own shadow puppet podcast “QUIET?” starring articulated ceral box silhouettes Barry Fructose and The Beats Most High.

Hooray, Silence! is back! I’ve basically wept openly since the last episode. Wept like a sore, NOT like a WEAKLING.
Dial H just now has the momentum of some terrible dream, and if I hadn’t reread the last issue a couple of days before the most recent one, I would be confused for sure.
I worry that the conclusion’s going to be a big mish-mash of lots of things happening that don’t have any real emotional resonance due to it all rushing to the end, forgetting the emotional core and that. That said, if it continues to get faster and faster, it could certainly have interesting results. OMEGA COMPRESSION.
I’m hoping there’s some more time spent on Roxie and Nelson’s relationship before the comic collapses in on itself, though, as I really like those guys, and am sort of more invested in them than in the background of the Dial etc. I don’t just want Talk Comix, though.
I don’t know what I like anymore. Sad frog-children, I like them.

I’m also cheered by the return of Silence, but really Mr. Lactus – I cannot understand how anyone can think there’s nothing wrong with those Quitely panels when it has been pointed out to them. I am starting to worry about the standards of the reviewniverse.

I was starting to itch…and cocain was not enough.

Correction, I mean cocaine.
