Nearby there has been a carved dragon in a lake for decades. When I was a kid my sister and I would always try to spot it when passing. Now a second dragon has been added.
I listened to countless hours of Buck 65 for years, and when he crashed out of the limelight for a long period I missed having new albums from him. The Super Dope LP is part of a string of new releases he has made as a return to his roots. The title track is vintage Buck 65.
Lately Celestine has wanted to play with Lego minifigs every day, and I have Doctor Who, D&D and Pokémon figs in with those, and a few treasured other toys like Mario and Unico. Mashups are happening.
Chilling Adventures Presents… Jinx: A Cursed Life is a silly horror one-shot with Jughead possessed by Satan and Archie enlisting Satan’s daughter Jinx to exorcise him. The art is great and there’s some fun writing, but there’s less peril here than I would hope to see.

Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves was an important book for me when I read it in high school and Only Revolutions later was another favourite.

There’s something comforting returning to Danielewski’s particular way of cramming meaning into a book. A couple dozen pages in and I’m feeling at home.
