As you saw from yesterday's video, I was in Portland, Oregon again last week. Just before I left, I was visiting a colleague in a suburb south of Portland called Milwaukee, and I was told that Dark Horse Comics headquarters is on Main Street in Milwaukee. It's a surprisingly small, rustic, little isolated town for being so close to Portland. Main Street down there even has an operating soda fountain from the 1940s, and sure enough, right there on Main Street, Milwaukee, Oregon, is this almost entirely unmarked building with the Dark Horse logo on the door. So being who I am, I walked in there. I was going to ask if I could arrange a video interview or a tour or something. There was a receptionist behind a little desk there, and she was very tiny, very tiny person. And she was sitting down, so she was even tinier. And the counter that she was behind was Chest Height, and it had giant monitors lined up along it. So she was like hidden down behind a fort that she had built down there. And I looked over at the top and said hello, and she looked startled. She looked really startled. So I reached over to introduce myself. I said, hi, I'm Keith, and she said, I don't shake hands.  I wanted to see if I could arrange a video tour. And she said, we only do tours for school groups. And I said, okay, bye. And she was not smiling when she said these things. She was not being friendly at all. So keep that in mind. Dark Horse Comics, not welcoming to visitors. Anyway, right across the street from Dark Horse Headquarters is a comic book shop called Things for Another World, or at least one of their locations. I recognize their name from online. They do a lot of mail order business. Anyway, being right across the street from Dark Horse Headquarters and being in a small town where I guess there's not that much traffic, they are well stocked. Tons and tons of comics and tons and tons of specialty items, especially Dark Horse items. So I walked in, I looked around. I was particularly looking for new independent or creator-owned titles that I hadn't seen before, and there were some. I did pick up these two issues of Savage Dragon, which is one of my all-time favorite comic series. It's written and drawn by Eric Larson, and I've not been keeping up with it. It's been years since I've read it, and I didn't realize I did not buy consecutive issues here. But anyway, I read this one and I had no idea what was going on. So I need to catch up with Savage Dragon. One of the reasons I don't read new comics, one of the reasons I stop reading comics and have not picked it up again are the cover prices. This is $4. $4 cover price. One of the other things I was looking for was books that had not a $4 cover price. And I found some. This was a free comic book day thing, so it was free.  This was very funny. I recommend this one if you can get it. At first glance it looks kid-friendly, but it is not. I mean right at the beginning of page one. And there was this first issue that caught my eye. It was $0.25. That's a special price for issue one, I'm sure. But look, it's Sword Quest. The old Atari game from the early 80s. And that's what it's about. I'm not that thrilled with the art, but it's about a guy who's just learned that he's dying from some lung disease so he digs up his old Atari. And all the notes that he and his friends made when they were playing Sword Quest back in the day. And there was this Paper Girls issue 14. I don't know what this is, but the cover is so striking. This is really beautiful. And the cover price is $2.99. So I was okay with that. Tremendous wraparound cover with all these subtle colors. Unlike the last one, well the art is simplistic, but not overly simplistic. I actually like the art here. And I like the dialogue, even though I don't really know who the characters are. This may be something I'll need to look into further. And then there was this Kaiju Max. Of course it caught my eye because it's about giant monsters, Kaiju. And apparently this is a reprint of issue number one from last year. The cover price here was $1. The premise here is that the giant monsters of the world had been gathered up and imprisoned on an island. Literally a prison built just for them. That's the name Kaiju Max. And the warden is this guy. It's the personal story of this monster here about how he's hauled into prison and how he's got kids on the outside and he's going to have to struggle to survive. It's a neat idea. Anyway, there's some new comics that I picked up at random this week and I'm able to recommend all four of them. Please remember to press that like button.
