Ghost World

Watching this I just want to start yelling at teen-age Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson. You think everyone is stupid? That your cynical and bitter armor makes you better? That working is dumb and full of stupid people and stupid rules? Seriously? Wait another 15, 20 years when you look back and wonder where all that potential you had at 18 went.

Sunday Trade: Morningglories

morningglories written by Nick Spencer, drawn by Joe Eisma, colors by Alex Sollazzo, letters by Johnny Lowe

I've read the first volume of Nick Spencer's story about Morning Glory Academy three or four times so far. And I still have no idea what is going on. There are bizarre and sometimes fatal tests given to the students. Some strange killer ghost guy. A spinning thingy. Possibly some time travel. An enigmatic headmaster with plans for the students selected for the school. Who all have the same birthday for some reason. But no, no clue what any of it means. But the book feels like the first season of Lost. Where the mysteries may pile up, but you keep wanting to know more and see if it can be made to all fit together...
