Taking a[nother] break

With apologies to Jon and the PCS crew (as well as to Charles LePage, who reprints my “For Your Consideration” column over at ComicList), Comic Book Commentary will be taking a short hiatus for a few weeks as the “Not Comics” part of my life is getting a bit hectic again and the self-imposed pressure to post more regularly combined with my hating writing rushed, half-assed posts has left me a bit paralyzed. My Bloglines and Google Reader folders are overflowing with unread posts so I’m just going to hit my mental reset button and jump back in later this summer.

I’m still reading comics, of course, just feeling less and less inclined to write anything about them.

Here’s a quick list of titles I’ve enjoyed recently and would recommend via legitimate reviews if I had the time:

The Aviary by Jamie Tanner
Blokhedz: Genesis Vol. 1 by Mark & Mike Davis and Brandon Schultz
EDEN: It’s an Endless World Vol. 1 by Horiki Endo
Marvel Adventures: The Avengers Vols. 1-3 by Jeff Parker, Tony Bedard, Manuel Garcia, Shannon Gallant and Juan Santacruz
Maxwell Strangewell by The Fillbach Brothers
Notes for a War Story by Gipi
Planetes Vol. 1 by Makoto Yukimura
Poison the Cure #1 by Jad Ziade and Alex Cahill
Skinwalker by Nunzio DeFillipis, Christina Weir, Brian Hurtt and Arthur de la Cruz

Good reads one and all and highly recommended to anyone looking to add something new and interesting to their bookshelves.

See y’all soon!
