Fathom Definitive Edition

I wasn’t really sure what to write about this week that I could spend a decent amount of time on. Why am I short on time? The holidays are over, but we still have a 3,000+ square-foot store to inventory, and I figured a week with only one new book (Blackest Night #6, which is AWESOME!) would be an ideal time to get that done. Combine that with comics not taking up much room, it can be exhausting feeling like you counted a bunch but haven’t gotten anywhere.

(Plus, Roger is working on the catalog, so he doesn’t need a longer column to edit. Though if Sean is editing and posting this because of that, I can’t really use that as an excuse; oh well!)

[Editor's note: Sean was working on the catalog as well so it's still a valid excuse!]

So I was thinking to myself “How would I be relaxing after all of that?” The first real stretch of relaxation won’t be until New Year’s Eve, so I won’t be staying in to read. I’ll be celebrating all over Dane County!

If I were staying in, though, I have these around waiting for me to read them: the Fathom Definitive Edition Volume 1, Fathom Dawn of War, Fathom: Kiani: Blade of Fire, and the Fathom Definitive Edition Volume 2. There’s a lot of great work in there by Marcos To, Talent Caldwell, and Aspen founder Michael Turner.

Fathom Dawn of War

I’m pretty sure that’s the recommended reading order, but I’ll have to get back to you in a couple of months on that, which is when I plan on taking a vacation just to read a bunch of the stuff I want to get around to reading! I’ll also probably camp out in a hotel room so I don’t have any other distractions, except maybe a pool. And a hot tub.

Sorry it’s so short this week. Next week I hope to have a fun New Year’s story to share! I have a wedding the day after New Year’s, so maybe I’ll have story from that, too!
