He's not his uncle was a farm and he's very isolated surveillance and this is reality that it is really what I read it it was one of those like -- and -- special comment -- pick -- and certainly can't -- down and this -- this is -- most -- that I just -- that -- it it was. -- Really really."

" Yeah come and this is the first of many to come it's all done in this sort of so -- and I. You know one of the things is propped -- we'll get a lot of people. That starts yeah you know later in a lot of those guys do. If not autobiographical then personal stuff and so the it's sort of gets to the office. This is may be a little more towards it Huard if you if you don't know much about popular music is the kind of book they do but it's probably one of those books and personal story. But that doesn't mean it's bad anyway nine and it's I mean and it it touches."

" Its accomplished it's a graphic novel and then main character Reid's comments let's see in this more of comic book -- that we all kind of -- and but it's not a knock some but it's -- you know but but we can easily relate to it but I can give to my sister and should be able to relate to in the flow because it's it's really is touching story that's really intently as -- and this.

" The next book is the only real communities -- It gives us incredible change box by Jeffrey brown when more recent releases it is came about -- income is transport it has its its -- party but -- Jeffrey brown style. We've spoken buys books clumsy Indian. And unlike in earlier unlikely in the book that -- true he has very he is a very. Compressed he -- very small. And so the books about timers well he draws this question that we have. Isn't -- who did that old. Who draws this -- doesn't draw being in the tonight. And and change spots tends to drive intends to drawn right very again personal but also writes that cringe. That are so honest and personally like oh. That I -- I didn't talk about a half. You are those interesting because a lot of them I've read of his stuff has been about his relationship is -- that to change by the -- thing because it was completely a robots robots. Of transformers -- yeah. Arm but done and that seems fine but he colored it. Yeah it was all company was still like. It's funny because he's kind of a big name but it's very handmade looking yes -- like like he highlighted the captions but the highlights go out of the line that."

" Thank. You like his other work. I I do like -- going to loves all the work I've enjoyed it I and art this city art is yeah whatever but that's not in an -- I think is that what's funny is that I haven't come down a lot of people who like I can do that. And I found myself when I was reading it comes at clumsy in the minds of the idea but I did so again concentrated so that's the local. Change about electing it's an evolution in his art sound that he was color Olympia. But essentially it would just tell us tourists. I mean it and that initially there were moments in the writing that I laughed out loud and literally left the land that hasn't happened all of that I'll read them when literally left that as well not allow -- which uses -- hello -- which is the new abbreviation I've. Being a co worker invented and we want everyone to -- analyst hello Alfred literally when you really do -- Is that what don't I laugh out loud wolf but how well -- of the way that goes -- But now hello hello is the intensive therapy the industry my eyes and -- yeah -- you -- literally left some of the stuff but as I'm really it was like this is literally this is literally just the transformers -- His interpretation of -- genius."

" I think was a little bit of -- that I really do because it was things I really liked about it again that -- I would have loved it but you know there were jokes -- like -- jokes about like they're all have a big battle in an addict she changed around at the end with a good guys aren't the good guys and bad guys can -- turned upside -- hello yeah like there's jokes about. And mixing all the time just like in this those -- issues yet they just know whenever hit any statement. And logos -- some fun playing with the dialogue and things like that."

" Think from news I didn't finish and finish because. He is rate for the personal stuff I predicted -- about. It looks."

" We know what was it seemed there was and so bundles and -- the it's really the kind of favorites like this you know like. The -- when you get an idea you delicate and you do it but like really should just keep yourself. I don't think."

" That I. I'll read as many of these. Happily endorses. -- he's -- other superhero series to."

" had on -- and Canada yet. But but it is yet so not another big name at at top shelf his -- Thompson which you mentioned earlier Patrick Thompson got a lot of popularity from the book blankets blankets again is a very personal relationship be kind of story. Bad boy -- girl and Jesus. And and it's really really. A lot of people like a lot more than I do yeah. That's so that I -- just. But recently I read. What -- all the works and I don't know where fits with a before after blankets it was -- four and is the women's vote by talking rice. Which had viewed as a in this long. Talk about again touching this is that this is it that way cry. -- contest in the form any drive. Good but something writes maybe try a little. It's it's really this is the kind of book -- that I want to read my -- when she's like you know like senator raiders. It's -- just touching story about a turtle and his rat friend and eternal is moving away you add samples. -- nobody Britain told us in this. No but what is so. So ends and -- if you persevere and as a maternal paternal you know is moving so there's like. In saying goodbye and the package and he goes up on this adventure and his rep for mrs. and just like that whole kind of the world to them. And it just again I picked it up I couldn't put down an interstate it's just that we will upset he's got a lot of range that's correct yeah. The -- so the stuff publicity but like is that they it's it's it's. It was really nice it was really nice news is it was a nice story telling common book incompetent mode and that. Tugs the heart tricks yet though I was impressed. I didn't like it as much really this -- another -- the views yet and legislate from limited is the best friend with yeah. Talk do."

" Yes a bucket at the continent are good things about it I read it active in the benefit -- Robert Robin and -- Redd is who wrote it relevant -- lead when we know them well believe my surrogate is about future time people are so. Lazy. Or just scared to take isn't going to leave their apartments and a surrogate bodies leave there."

" And everybody's got a robot basically that lives -- life -- they -- in. VR XV yeah today. He goes to work against parties and insert your body doesn't have the look like you -- you know man could be a woman -- I stumbled a man or woman. --"

" We'll let you carry it everybody's hot and everybody's good you know good looking attractive and hurled at him but the thing is people are scared me. Somebody besides killing asserts that they don't people aren't polite."

" It will one of the reasons that I think I want to talk about this book is that it's a complete departure from all -- separate targets exist Sofia science fiction at its its blade runner into its Philip K. Dick it's you know it's a whole other thing going on and it's you know it doesn't look like good -- rights and you know. It's just it's beautiful book. Is. It totally yet totally and it's an option for movies and hear about a word you probably today it just developed -- well that's awesome but it's just a really strong. Science fiction to -- in future story like censorship the question it's easy to move if you because they can definitely be it -- you know. You see the progression from where we are today to where the world is a -- please -- and make you think that that there. The World -- that. Just not enough to be edited shots your fuzzy World of Warcraft with. Even. So there's like an overview of some of the stuff this is but a slice of the pops -- library I mean we've talked about -- like Ed baker for a for a backhand from them you know. Box office poison. Boxers. It had Campbell up. The girls -- born Soros. You know we talk about -- and in previous deficit now this is you know this all the stuff here's."

" Not for everyone I don't know I mentioned earlier this element violence assignments he has quickness to. I think that's the fifty and one yeah yeah and I -- I alpha don't feel like I feel okay about it in the middle like that support it."

" and I think it's because pops up fills an important role in the industry. Their market share isn't as big as the DC of the marbles or even -- dark horse but they're growing -- in ten years we've seen them become a real names to the point where when -- at a convention. They are -- you should get this. And and and you know. There's some books people who you know you know by marvel and DC you're feeding on themselves basically they've got established audience and that audience is largely the same top -- and make him look people's and they can actually grow the comic book market. And that is the most important thing that anybody young people."

" Talk about."

" We need an -- might die. That would really mean -- DC this -- not gonna and I."
