Turns out the funeral on Tuesday was also covered by the New York Times. I like my photos better, she says smugly.
I continue to be grateful to everyone who provides me with links to fanfiction goodness so I can catch up whenever I have the time, the online access, or both. (Which is going to be limited until I'm back in Germany, aka on the 23rd. 22nd is departure day, and as mentioned, it takes almost 24 hours, driving to and from the airports included.) I also had the chance to read the newest Astonishing X-Men, Warren Ellis' debut in the title, and the two first issues of The Eternals written by the Knaufs, following Neil Gaiman's run, so in order not to let this journal become too monomanical about Bali, here are short reviews.
( Astonishing X-Men #25: Our new Overlord speaks )
The Eternals were reintroduced to the Marvelverse in a miniseries by Neil Gaiman. Which is now continued by Daniel and Charles Knauf, after they finished their Iron Man run. By and large, I liked their issues, though one scene in particular gave me bad second season of Carnivale flashbacks (yes, Daniel K., this still remains unforgiven!). Otoh, the context was quite different, and it didn't distract from the main stuff, which was good. On to a bullet point review.
( The Eternals #1 and #2 )
