Here’re a couple of early (and positive!) mentions of Midnight Sun around the internets:First, Scott Tingley has posted an expanded review of the book over at comicsintheclassroom.net. Scott mainly reviews books for younger readers, so I was slightly surprised that he wanted to read a copy of the book for a possible review. As he notes, there’s some off-color language (no “F bombs,” though), some drinking, and a few other odds and ends… I guess, though, that shouldn’t preclude older high school students from being able to check it out. On the other hand, I know as an occasional teacher that folks can get pretty touchy about comics in particular, given the visual element.
Second, over on the Comic Geek Speak podcast (episode #346), Midnight Sun gets a great mention from one of that shows guest contributors, Charlito from Indie Spinner Rack. This episode is titled “Looking Ahead to 2008” but Midnight Sun managed to sneak in there despite its December 28th release date since the episode was posted on the 21st, and presumably was recorded much earlier. Even though I know the ISR guys, both as a fan of the show and from working on a story for the ISR anthology, Awesome, it was really cool to turn up on Charlito’s list. More surprising, though, was that one of the CGS hosts (Shane, if I’m recalling correctly) knew the book from its earlier incarnation as a serialized comic.
Anyway, I’m appreciative of the kind words from both…
