    Making mainstream books look BAD

    Well worth the prolonged wait after the first issue (this issue's "Next Issue" ad/blurb indicates it was already released 2 weeks ago), this series, like Spencer's T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents's latest issue's review on its cover (also out this week) is "a classic in the making".  Nick Spencer's more personal, less mainstream (IE Not "Iron Man 2.0") works contain some of the most mindblowing concepts and clever writing outside of late 80's / early 90's era Grant Morrison.

    The art in this book, which I assume to be the cause of the delays, is GORGEOUS.  The sort where even if the overall book was boring and not much good at all, it would still be worth picking up for the art alone.  But that is not the case.  Infinite Vacation is one of the best books on the market right now, and its delays are actually working in its favor if you ask me because it prolongs the period before the series is over and done with and we are left without having it around making other books look bad.

I'm almost expecting this to end like 'All You Zombies' where it turns out every single character in the stor...

      Mark has been dying lately, and I mean dying a lot. Fortunately for him he's not the only one who's noticed it. In order to protect him from who or whatever is after him Mark's other selves hide him in the place they're least likely to look for him, amongst the dead enders. The Good This cover says for itself just about anything I could attempt to about the art of this title so I keep it brief. Christian Ward is a genius and like his partner Nick Spencer is a certifiable legend in the making. I'...
