Midnight Sun #2: Cover

The system through which comic books are ordered and distributed–via a company called Diamond–functions so far in advance that I’ve actually got to submit a cover image for the second issue of Midnight Sun tomorrow… and the first is nearly a month from being released. The second one isn’t going to be out until October. But anyway, here it is:

X3

I never went to see the new X-Men movie, because it seems to be universally hailed as terrible, but at least it gave rise to this hilarous cartoon comparison between the comics and film versions of the X-Men.

WWJD

I can’t believe this is a real comic book:

In the near future, the United States is ruled by bloodsucking vampire hordes. Only one man can end their reign of terror: JESUS H. CHRIST. A tale of war, love, religion and severed heads, the controversial LOADED BIBLE answers an age-old question: “What Would Jesus Do?” Answer: He’d kick vampire ass.

Memorial Day Crackhouse Update

Well, it’s not technically Memorial Day yet, but it really doesn’t matter around the venerable Crackhouse since renovation work is going on unfettered. Today Dennis, the drywall finisher wrapped up the third pulling of the drywall mud, thus completing that end of things. Tomorrow the dried mud gets sanded, and on monday the painter comes in to prime the walls and ceilings and the carpenters return to get rolling on various things.

So, anyhoo, here’s the current status:

Here’s the view looking from the bedroom into the newly formed walk-in closet and master bath–previously a small bathroom and the other half of the weird anteroom respectively

And finally, here’s our shower enclosure in-progress. The inside will be tiled and that borded up window opening will be filled in with brick glass

If this sort of progress continues, I may have to stop calling it “The Crackhouse.”
