The Fellowship is pleased to present our celebration of the 35th anniversary of the film A Christmas Story. This movie has become a TV staple in the last 15 years, and its popularity has risen quickly over that time. And it's getting to be "that time of year" too, right? We've got some opinions and some stories, and we add our normal abnormality, as well as our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Big Bag o' Nothing - busy week, still reading Hellboy (omnibuses are big)
Avoiding Christmas music and getting ready for Black Friday sales [this may be more of a tangent than a report, I'm not sure 🙂]
Local comics convention - the small ones are a lot of fun [CA wildfire tangent]
Comics - a new Epic Collection (X-Men) which includes a story by Jerry Siegel
A Christmas Story is an amazing story of how the blossoming home video market and careful (or lucky) cable TV placement can turn a movie into an "instant" classic. It helps that it's a very funny movie, of course 🙂
Picks for the week of 11/28:
Infinity Wars: Arachknight #2 (Marvel)
Punchline #2 (Antarctic Press)
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon GN (BOOM! Studios)
Hellboy and the BPRD 1956 #1 (Dark Horse)
