"Always Never" News and Speculation

Back in February, Dark Horse announced an August release for the print edition of Jordi Lafebre's "Always Never" in English: https://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/3446/fall-back-love-always-never It's a book I had reviewed after its digital release in 2021: https://www.pipelinecomics.com/always-never-by-jordi-lafebre-review/ I really hope this gives the book a new life in North America. It's a great one. Also, it prompts a little wild speculation from me about Dark Horse and other projects of Lafebre's... My theory makes sense and fits the gaps in the narrative, but is it true? I hope so....

McSpidey Artist's Edition

IDW announced their next Artist's Edition [https://www.idwpublishing.com/news/articles/idw-publishing-announces-todd-mcfarlane-spider-man-artist-edition], and it's collecting a whole lot of Todd McFarlane Spider-Man art. I couldn't imagine a more exciting AE outing, so I'm going to go over the specs on this thing in the podcast. We have six months to save up the $150 to buy it, which hopefully is enough time...

Julie Doucet and Awards

Julie Doucet won the Grand Prix at Angouleme this year. How did that happen? What kind of narrative did you shape in your mind for why the voters voted the way they did? My guess is, you're wrong. These things can't be forced into a single narrative, and I'll tell you exactly why and how Julie Doucet won in this podcast. You're welcome. Here, watch Chris Ware hand over the prize to Doucet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZx486r9FW4 Warning: It's awkward. Learning French: I passed the 800 days streak on DuoLingo [https://www.duolingo.com/courses/fr] last week, then celebrated by winning my Diamond League for the week! Je suis rentré chez moi hier.
