Talk about being lateā¦ Apologies for the delay in sending this out. Both contributors for this one were super early in delivering, but I ended up taking a last minute trip to Vegas to see Phish at the Sphere and have been playing a ton of catch up since getting back home.
Weāve got an art focused issue with a new piece of art from Tony Tran and a new issue of The Outer from Garrett Elton.
Iāve got some housekeeping to mention, but Iāll save that for the intro.
Tony told me heās been reading Berserk and ingesting some horror, specifically linking me to this. And honestly, whatever heās been consuming, the inspiration did itās trick, because the piece he came up with this month is haunting.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this was itās exactly what it would look like if Martin Simmonds, the artist on James Tynion IVās The Department of Truth, drew Prince Robot IV from Saga.
Anyways, hereās what Tony said when talking about some of the darker influences behind this piece.
Itās like tapping into the surface level of the dark internet, before what it is now. I tend to limit this type of media as it leaves a lasting impression that overstays itās welcome.
Alright! Housekeeping! Iām 99% sure before the next issue of weekend edition, Iāll be moving both the blog and newsletter over to Ghost. So if you get an extra e-mail or drop of, I sincerely apologize. Iām also not sure how RSS will work, but Iāll do my best to lead with what the new RSS will be in a future issue since I donāt think I can redirect the Buttondown feedā¦
But thatās a wrap. Iāll see you back here in about 24 hours with The Media Guide.
