I’m rereading The Sandman Companion, by Hy Bender, and it’s always fascinating this experience of learning something new every time with each rereading. Here I come across an impressive testimony from the penciller Michael Zulli, who participated in the series.

“Comics are often compared to film, but I see them as being much more like theater, another medium that can't physically show everything and so must rely on suggestion supported by a few perfectly chosen details. I try to render characters and their environments with enough fidelity to maintain the illusion of reality – and avoid having my audience want to throw tomatoes at me.” (p.57)

I’m listening to this song now while reading Star Wars Thrawn. No, it’s not a direct allusion to the Thrawn of Rebels (because there it seems to me a little different from the books), but it definitely helped me get in the mood.

@madcollector I read the first 50 pages and I also got the feeling it’s Rebels’ Thrawn other than the Thrawn Trilogy. I found some minor inconsistencies (I think, but it’s too early, I need to read more), but so far so good.

I finally started reading the origin tale of Mitth’raw’nuruodo! He’s one of my favorite Star Wars characters since the Thrawn Trilogy. It’s good to be back.

For Star Wars fans, I just posted my review of the YA book Path of Deceit, from Phase II of Star Wars High Republic on Goodreads. I would like to know your impressions: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6585279706

It's time to resume my Sandman annual reading. Now moving along to Season of Mists. It's not my favorite arc, but it's a powerful one. If I have to choose the arcs I don't like that much, I believe A Game of You comes first, then Season of Mists, I don't know why.

But I also know that every time you reread something, it's a new experience. You can think it's the same book, the same comics, the same text, but we're all changing every single day. You can always fall in love for those things that now resonates to your life in that moment.
