Your Host, Beau-Beau-A-Go-Go Smith

by beloved Smith

TwoMorrows publishing Hero-A-Go-Go

Being a comic book designer as well as reader, I recognize there are a ton of things in pop culture as well as life that have, as well as continue to, influence me with my writing, in addition to what I read. just recently a great deal of these influences of mine were packaged between the covers of a huge 270 page book called “Hero-A-Go-Go” from TwoMorrows Publishing. It is written as well as edited by noted writer as well as pop culture historian, Michael Eury.

As I have pointed out many times before right here in Beauology 101, TwoMorrows publishing does a terrific task in making what I call, “The history as well as text books of the comic book industry.” The info that they publishing in a range of books not only keep us all up on what has come before in comic books as well as exactly how they were produced both on a level of art as well as story, however the business side as well. In these days, as a comic book creator, you requirement to understand both sides of the comic book coin.

Harvey Comics’ Bee-Man-A-G-Go

Hero-A-Go-Go is a genuinely remarkable text/history book of the incredible age of campy, innocent, as well as hyper innovative work in comic books of the 1960s. Michael Eury has done an incredible task covering just about whatever as well as anything that went on in this time around of innovative flexibility as well as no holds barred imagination.

B’Wana Beast-A-Go-Go

I felt as I checked out this book that Eury had reached into my memories as well as put them to print. So much of what truly was important, as well as influential, to me has been covered thorough in this book. One example is the protection of the obscure as well as genuinely odd character, B’Wana Beast from DC Comics. The two appearances in showcase Comics in the late ‘60s stimulated decades of fascination for me as a visitor as well as a writer. A few years back I was lastly provided the possibility to compose a B’Wana Beast story for DC Comics in their Christmas special issue. I have a total pitch for B’Wana Beast that will bring him into the contemporary setting of today that will likewise pay tribute as well as respect whatever that has come before. It started when I was composing guy Gardner Warrior, B’Wana Beast was one of the characters I was going to restore as well as save as a supporting cast member to Guy’s house for misfit heroes. I had already been lucky sufficient to restore woman Blackhawk, Tiger-Man as well as other heroes. I had B’Wana Beast, area Ranger as well as Dial H For Hero prepared to come back when the book was discontinued. I hope to have my possibility right here in the near future to bring them all back.

Adam West As Batman-A-Go-Go 1966

Getting back to Hero-A Go-Go, Michael Eury does what few other writers are able to do when speaking about this special time of the ‘60s with “campy” characters as well as story lines, he treats them all with respect. It wasn’t just a throw-away time for comic books, it was a genuinely a innovative time, even when publishers were seeking to “cash in” on present patterns of the Batman TV show, James Bond spies, pop music sensations, Hippies, Saturday morning Cartoons, the Mod world of fashion, as well as all the other truly terrific things exploding in the 1960s. It’s all quite much covered in this book by means of interviews, art, color, black as well as white, thorough character bios as well as so much more.

Dell Comics Monster Heroes-A-Go-Go

Hero-A-Go-Go is what I phone call a “cover to cover” read. You will not want to put it down when you start. From a comic book reading as well as collecting standpoint, this book is a terrific guide to laser focus your collecting as well as reading into an era. Collecting the books pointed out in Hero-A-Go-Go, you will be able to improve your personal collection, your memories as well as history of a time that was genuinely special. This book not only covers comic books, however it touches toys, TV, films as well as whatever else that was exploding in pop culture at the time.

Hero-A-Go-Go is one of those unusual books that I extremely suggest 100 percent. It gets an remarkable 10 Busted Knuckles suggestion from me! It is on sale now, as well as offered with Westfield Comics. It has a cover cost of $36.95 as well as isworth every red cent. Color, black as well as white, interviews, art, photos, as well as more. Softcover, square bound, as well as oversized.

Hero-A-Go-Go is prepared to go on your reading table.

Your, Beau-Beau-A-Go-Go…

Yet, not everybody was pleased.

Some fans didn’t such as this version of the character, since he was not as much of a boy scout as he’d been in the past. instead of being greeted with open arms by his embraced country, America reacted to Superman with fear as well as anger. (As did Ben Affleck’s Batman!) Still, the tweet was sufficient for fans to demand Henry Cavill return as Superman in DC films. worth noting, this wasn’t the only tweet about this Superman as well as his black suit.

by Wayne Markley

I love westerns and I have no idea why. I can spend an entire day watching TV westerns from the ‘50s and ‘60s, and to be honest, very few of them are good. They are all very formulaic. Yet I still watch them for hours on end. I have the same issue with comics, but fortunately (?) there are far fewer western comics than there are TV westerns. and on the other hand, the comic book westerns are excellent, at least the ones I am going to discuss here. There are two new graphic albums that came out recently I really enjoyed even though one is based (a sequel really) on a movie and the other is a reprint of a comics from the1970s. Plus, I have thrown in a couple of recommendations of books you may have to make an effort to find.

Rawhide kid #26

In the 1950s there were all sorts of western comics. DC had a number of titles including All star Western and All American Western. I would love to see DC reprint these books as they are filled with great art by Alex Toth, Gil Kane, Carmine Infantino and many others. marvel had the Rawhide kid (with lots of Kirby art in the early issues) as well as Two-Gun kid and, in the ‘70s, the Mighty marvel Western. There also all sorts of books from other publishers, most notably The Ghost Rider from magazine Enterprises. This was the western Ghost Rider, long before Johnny Blaze got a flaming skull and rode a motorcycle. plus there were tons of comics based on TV Cowboys, such as Roy Rogers, Tom Mix, Annie Oakley, Dale Evans, Jimmy Wakely, etc. Again, these were published by a number of different publishers, (Mainly DC) and featured art by Alex Toth and John Buscema among many others. By the early ‘70s, there were not many left. DC had All star Western (a revival of the ‘50s title) which introduced Jonah Hex, one of my all time favorite comics, and marvel still had their two western reprint anthologies and a few ongoing titles. over the years there have been a variety of westers comics, some revivals like the interesting Joe Lansdale/Tim Truman Jonah Hex series, Alejandro Jordorwsky’s Bouncer (which is excellent), and Marvel’s revamped Rawhide Kid-Slap leather that came out in 2010, and was better un-revived.

The Sons of El Topo Vol. 1: Cain

Speaking of Alejandro Jordorwsky, who happens to be one of my favorite writers, he just had the first volume of his graphic novel series, The Sons of El Topo Vol. 1: Cain come out from BOOM! Studios. This is a full color hardcover book which is a sequel to his 1970 film called El Topo. This story was originally written as a sequel to this cult classic which is sort of a magical surreal western (it has to be seen as no description would do it justice), but for some reason no one wanted to finance the sequel, so Jordorwsky made it into a graphic novel instead. He got the remarkable Jose Landronn to draw it. This first volume is mostly set up as it introduces and explains who El Topo’s two sons are and their life stories. As the title suggests, the story revolves around two brothers, one who is attempting to kill the other, and from there the story just gets weird. If you are a fan of the film or of Alejandro Jordorwsky’s work in general, then you will love this book. If you like beautiful art, then this book is for you. If you are looking for something different from the traditional superhero fare, then this is it! If you just like non-traditional westerns, then you will love this. (I would highly recommend this book for fans of Joe Lansdale & Timothy Truman’s Jonah Hex: shadows West trade collection).

El Mestizo

Then we have El Mestizo by writer Alan Hebden and drawn by the late, but great, Carlos Ezquerra. This was a western strip that appeared in the pages of battle magazine in England in the late 1970s. This story was so different than the typical fare in battle (war stories) that this strip did not last that long, so Rebellion was able to collect the entire run into one very nice hardcover. The story is set in 1862. El Mestizo is a former slave from Alabama who escapes and flees to Mexico during the American Civil War. While in Mexico, he sharpens his mercenary skills until he is famed gunsmith. He returns to the united states with a strong sense of right and wrong. From there he finds himself work for both the South and the North, with neither side realizing it, as he is really just fighting for what he thinks is right. He is armed with his guns and his bolo. as with most British comics, these stories run 3-4 pages long, which is to the benefit of this strip as if forces the action (and there is a lot, almost every panel) and the story to move at a breakneck pace. I really enjoyed this story and I thought it took enough twists and turns with El Mestizo’s constant double dealings that it is a real page turner. As always, Ezquerra’s art is beautiful and Hebdon’s stories were a pleasant surprise. This is by far the most traditional western in this blog, along with the early Jonah Hex run, and it is a rip roaring fun story that I am sure beau Smith would enjoy, being the western buff he is. Well worth going out of your way to read. My only regret is the story didn’t go on longer as it seemed as if there were many more stories that could have been told.

Jonah Hex: shadows West TPB

Jonah Hex had a long and prosperous run starting in 1972. He first appeared in All star Western #10 by John Albano and Tony DeZuniga. The title was changed to weird Western Tales with issue #12 and Jonah was the lead feature through issue #37. Jonah’s most famous writer started with issue #22 and his name was Michael Fleisher. Fleisher would write Jonah for the rest of his run in weird Western Tales and through his own titles run of 92 issues and the ten issues of a series called Hex where he lands up in the future. To me, the All star Western/Weird Western and Jonah Hex runs are the pinnacle of western comics. Unlike the comics of the ‘50s, these were tales of drama and violence. Jonah was a bounty hunter and as his back story was slowly revealed, he became more and more human. He is never a traditional hero, and he is very much in the vein of the classic spaghetti Western heroes, namely Clint Eastwood in the film The man with no Name; a killer with his own moral code. Jonah Hex was easily the most violent book DC published at the time, and perhaps ever, and I would argue it was only rivaled by Fleisher’s other tour de force of violence, the Spectre in the pages of adventure Comics. There was also a Jonah Hex Spectacular that came out in 1978 which to me is one of the greatest comic stories ever told by Michael Fleisher and Russ Heath telling the tale of how Jonah Hex died, and his legacy. These stories all told are an epic collection that deserves to be collected in a deluxe format. (Not that I am holding my breath for this to ever happen). Jonah also appeared in a series of miniseries by Joe Lansdale and Tim Truman and was most recently revived in a series written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin gray which ran 70 issues and was drawn by a variety of people and was quite good. It was replaced by a revival of All star Western that ran another 34 issues. While these were also good, I hated the direction the series landed up going in and I felt it was totally disrespectful to who the character was and undid so much of his history. There was also an original graphic novel by Tony DeZungia, Jonah Hex’s co-creator. almost all of the newer material and the Lansdale stories have been collected into trades. very little of the Fleisher material has been collected outside of two volumes of showcase which reprinted all of the original run of Jonah Hex from All-Star Western/Weird Western (1972 version) and the first 22 issues of his own book, Jonah Hex. Sadly, almost all, if not all, of these books are out of print.

Louis L’Amour’s law of the Desert Born

Louis L’Amour’s law of the Desert born graphic novel is adapted by Charles Santino and beautifully drawn by Thomas Yeates. This is a classic L’Amour story filled with vivid characters and non-stop excitement and is set in the wild west of new Mexico in 1887. I mention this book because it is such a beautiful book that slipped by most comic fans. It is available still from book sellers but no longer from comic stores. It is well worth going out of your way to find it. It is a 160 page hardcover that originally came out in 2013.

That wraps it up for this blog. Do any of you still read and enjoy western comics? Or western TV shows for the matter? have you read any of the books I have written about here today? If you have I would again like to hear your thoughts. I can be reached at Wayne Markley on Facebook or at MFBWAY@AOL.COM. all of this babbling has been my personal thoughts and opinions and do not reflect the opinions of Westfield Comics or their employees. So, as always…

Thank you.

DC Comics announced several new Superman series, including Superman: kid of Kal-El, Superman and the Authority, and Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow. along with the continuing action Comics, which is going in a new direction, Clark Kent’s corner of the DC looks like it will have a bit of an overhaul. maybe we can call this Dawn of S? So, What do we have to look forward to?

Superman: kid of Kal-El Is the new center of the various Superman Series

I love the throwback cover. (Image: Superman: kid of Kal-El #1, DC Comics)

In DC Future state Week One, Superman put Metropolis in a jar. That Superman? Jonathan Kent, kid of Clark Kent – also known as Kal-El – the star of the new series. In fact, the world Tom Taylor and the other Superman writers are building brings us dangerously close to Future State. In limitless horizon #0, the Spectre alerted Diana that Jonathan need to never become Superman. Well, it’s happening. As DC Comics describes in their announcement:

Jonathan Kent has experienced a lot in his young life. He’s fought evil with Robin (Damian Wayne), traveled across galaxies with his Kryptonian grandfather, and lived in the future with the legion of Super-Heroes, who were intent on training him for the day his daddy could no longer be Superman. There is a hole in the Legion’s history that prevents Jon from knowing exactly when that will happen, but all signs point to it being very soon. It’s time for the kid to wear the cape of his daddy and continue the never-ending battle as a symbol of hope for his home planet.

This new series is the beginning of the rise and fall and rise again of Jonathan Kent, kid of Superman, regardless of which name you choose.

Supergirl might Not Be the kid of Superman, but She’s the star of a new series Too

next stop: ongoing series. (Image: Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow #2, DC Comics)

First of all, some fightin’ words. Kara Zor-El is the best Super-pronoun, man, boy, girl, woman, nonbinary, transgender, etc. She is the best. and though she’s not getting a new series as big as Superman: kid of Kal El, she is getting the “all-star” treatment. That’s how writer Tom King describes Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow. Also, the new series stars Krypto, pet dog of Superman, so who needs the kid anyway. check out the description:

Supergirl, Krypto, and their new pal Ruthye find themselves stranded with no way to pursue Krem, the murderous kingsagent. Each moment this fugitive roams free, the a lot more beings come dangerously close to dying by his hand. There is no time to lose, so our heroes need to now travel across the universe the old-fashioned way…by cosmic bus! little do they know their journey will be a dark one, filled with terrors that not even the housemaid of might is prepared to face!

Action Comics #1033 Brings a lot more crisis (No, Not that kind of Crisis) and a lot more Pages

Papa Kal looks angry. Did someone steal his Werther’s Originals? (Image: action Comics #1033, DC Comics)

The one corner of the Superman world not getting a new series? The forever-running action Comics. If you’re not too thrilled about the kid of Kal-El or don’t want to bother with a new series, action Comics still stars the tried and true Superman. However, we have even a lot more ties to Future State. So, if you took pleasure in Superman: Worlds of War, this is where you want to go next. Per DC’s announcement:

Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Daniel Sampere keep Superman on the front lines in his battle to aid a group of Warworld refugees in action Comics #1033, on sale Tuesday, July 27. This issue takes the action to Atlantis and the Fortress of Solitude, where Warworld refugees have taken possession of hazardous Warworld tech, bringing it to Aquaman’s undersea kingdom and risking an all-out war that even Superman may not be able to prevent. Meanwhile, some of the escaped Warworld prisoners have found the Fortress of Solitude…and along with it, Lois Lane!

Oh, but that’s not all! one of the other terrific parts of Worlds of War? The Midnighter/Mister miracle backup stories. So, of course, those are back!

And in this 40-page blockbuster’s second feature, Midnighter has gone deep into the Trojan compound and found a very unexpected guest whose path he crossed in Future State—none other than Shilo Norman, a.k.a. Mister Miracle!

Okay, now, the icing, sprinkles, and gooey center. The announcement that makes the new Superman series, kid or girl or Papa, look amateur…

You read that correctly. grant Morrison, author of All-Star Superman and the New52 action Comics.  Also, the designer of The Authority.The series didn’t do well when it came out but is terrific in trade. They’re bringing the two words together for the new limited series, Superman and the Authority, no kid needed.  Because, when it pertains to Warworld, there’s a lot more happening than even Superman can handle:

If Superman is to get to the bottom of what’s happening on Warworld, he’s going to need help, the kind of help that doesn’t yell “Justice League.”

…this new team will be led by Manchester Black, and combine original members Midnighter and Apollo with new members Enchantress and Natasha Irons, as well as new versions of Lightray and O.M.A.C. This new team will have to learn to work together, and fast, as the Ultra-Humanite has formed his own team of villains to take out the man of Steel.

So, which new series are you looking forward to most; Superman: kid of Kal-El, Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow, action Comics, or Superman and the Authority most? Actually, maybe I must ask, “Besides Superman and grant Morrison, which series are you looking forward to the most?”

But right here they seem to have produced something which provides a new meaning to a mad-genius. somebody who has a follow-up contingency plan to his contingency plan. somebody who has all the knowledge, skills, powers as well as stealth of Batman. as well as likewise has the no holds barred unpredictability of Joker.

Batman who Laughs might be one of the very best works in DC after a long time. Let’s dive deeper as well as see exactly how it unfolds.

HAPPIEST MEMORIES

From the very first line of the Batman who Laughs states “What is your happiest memory?” As a reader, you are required to believe about the happiest moment of your life. It is a flashback of Bruce’s youth as well as most likely his happiest moment. A unusual moment in the comic where you feel joyous as well as free as Bruce plays with his parents as well as Alfred. This opening is heartwarming however likewise unfortunate as well as heartbreaking since we understand what complied with these happy moments.

And this joy soon modifications to a high-speed chase, which turns extremely dark as well as sinister when Bruce discovers out the identity of the body smuggled by the grave-robbers. Both Alfred as well as Batman are shocked to discover that the body in the truck belongs to Bruce. later we discover out that this dead Bruce seems to have made different options at some point in his life.

Batman soon realizes that details of the body are designed to hurt him psychologically. It likewise adds a foreboding sense of dread since even before the Batman who Laughs enters the pages of the comic book, we have already established exactly how twisted he is.

THE BATMAN action BEGINS

The genuine act of this problem begins in the second half when a previously unknown as well as unseen evil Batman called the Grim Knight unleashes an assault on Arkham Asylum. when he starts gunning down Arkham’s staff, we recognize that this is a vicious character with some extremely horrible intentions. heavily armored, he breaks into the Asylum as well as soon torches Mister Freeze as well as seemingly kills Joker. That joker though is a decoy. The genuine one obviously conscious of the imminent catastrophe escaped a long time ago. We likewise get to checked out why Batman refuses to kill the Joker.

A few frames later the Joker returns as well as pulls off one more technique to bring a twisted prophecy into reality. The beauty of this specific comic is that even without completely introducing the villain, Snyder has put into movement a series of event which might have disastrous consequences. step by step this comic explores Batman’s inner demons as well as fears while still including a peaceful moment of introspection.

A visual TREAT

Even though the Batman who Laughs primarily works behind the scenes, when he does show up, he looks menacing as well as terrifying. contributing to the jarring feeling of reading this comic is the visual produced by Jock. As the action moves along in this comic, the drawing makes it really unnerving, particularly when you pause to believe about the mental element of it.

GOING FORWARD

Back to Snyder’s writing, frequently it feels like one is reading poetry. The wise as well as detective Batman is likewise a positive change, where he utilizes a disguise while he investigates the body. The banter between Alfred as well as Bruce is so refreshing since the rest of the comic is dark as well as moody. Going ahead my only hope is that the innovative team behind Batman who Laughs keeps the eerie tone going instead of considerable action. This is the type of stuff which makes you wait on the next edition as well as is gripping as well as intense.

In the end, I believe this story has a huge heart, great deals of action, its mental horror with a few drops of physical violence. It introduces a fairly less explored side of Batman. This is suggested for anyone who likes both mental as well as physical horror, for anyone who likes to navigate thedark alleys of the human mind. particularly if you desire to get into somebody else’s shoes as well as want to experience what they are feeling, then get BATMAN who LAUGHS #1.

For our October indie graphic book selections, we named Roxane Gay’s The Sacrifice of Darkness, with co-writer Tracy Lynne Oliver, as well as artists Rebecca Kirby as well as James Fenner. From the moment the original cover debuted, this OGN was undoubtedly going to be something special. as well as not just since it was a Roxane Gay story. Rebecca Kirby’s art as well as James Fenner’s colors already told a story of light as well as darkness as well as isolation. The rest of the book? Magnificent. The Sacrifice of Darkness is one of the most dazzling literary experiences so far this century.

We comply with two couples throughout Roxane Gay’s The Sacrifice of Darkness: Hiram Hightower as well as Mara Blessings in flashbacks, as well as then their son, Joshua, as well as his youth good friend Claire in the present. Hiram as well as Mara’s story is one of catastrophe waiting to happen. Joshua as well as Claire’s is just the opposite: a story of hope.

At the begin of the story, Hiram, suffering a anxiety we don’t rather comprehend yet, gets into an “air machine” powered by a newly-discovered aspect as well as flies it directly into the sun—effectively killing it. All that’s left is an ever-shrinking red scar in the sky as well as utter darkness. as well as the town takes their rage out on Joshua as well as Mara, calling them “son” as well as “wife” of “a sun killer.” When we begin seeing exactly how Hiram as well as Mara autumn in love, it’s painful—we understand exactly how this ends. We understand that Hiram’s like for mining turns to hate. In fact, the a lot more lovely their story is, the a lot more it hurts to see it.

However, though Hiram as well as Mara’s story starts in an age of light, Joshua as well as Claire’s begin in an age of darkness. Yet, since we don’t understand their ending, there’s a mix of hope as well as concern for them. however mainly hope. It’s in the method Claire befriends Joshua—a youngster outcasted for no fault of his own. Seeing this young woman defy her peers to befriend “the kid of a sun killer” brings that hope.

Both like stories in Roxane Gay’s The Sacrifice of Darkness are linked By One powerful Element: Biscuits

We get a look of the story’s genuine hero in the top ideal corner panel: biscuits, as well as their sidekick, jam. (Image: The Sacrifice of Darkness, Archaia/Boom Studios)

Light as well as dark. hope as well as tragedy. empathy as well as being outcasted. These are truly heavy themes, as well as the weight of them is ever-present throughout the graphic novel. however there’s one more reoccurring symbol: biscuits. Specifically, the biscuits that Mara bakes. never underestimate the power that a well-baked biscuit (or any type of food) plays in getting people to autumn in love. Why do you believe we normally go to dinner on dates? Food is the method we link with each other. In the early days of both stories, we see them sharing these obviously divine biscuits.

But as adorable as the biscuit-sharing is, these scenes add levity to the story, keeping it from ending up being an outright depressing story. The Sacrifice of Darkness is actually a story about darkness. as well as it gets dark. Harrowingly dark. as well as yet, while we enjoy the Hightower household experience since of Hiram’s actions, as well as as the world grow progressively darker, there’s this innocent baked great bringing happiness to two generations of a family. That’s a lot more than cute. These biscuits? They’re beautiful.

(I was type of hoping Roxane Gay as well as Tracy Lynne Oliver, her co-writer, would include a recipe at the end. I requirement some wonderful biscuits in my like life).

Rebecca Kirby as well as James Fenner’s Art Turns a excellent story into a Masterpiece

as well as just a minor dash of Middle-Earth. (Image: The Sacrifice of Darkness, Archaia/Boom Studios)

As a writer with the creative skills of a blind armadillo, I normally try not to either praise or criticize art as well much in my reviews, unless it truly stands out. This art truly sticks out for all the ideal reasons. Without bombarding us, Rebecca Kirby skillfully as well as subtly portrays these characters’ emotions’ depth as well as weight. Kirby shows the difference between anguish, anger, despair, as well as concern with only minor modifications to her pencils. as well as the exact same goes for love, wonder, joy, as well as hope.

Her landscapes as well as backgrounds, however, are brilliant as well as completely realized. This is a completely realized world in both composing as well as art. however it’s not just Kirby’s pencils that producethis world—James Fenner’s colors are vital to Roxane Gay’s The Sacrifice of Darkness. Every page appears like they’re in the middle of a sunrise or sunset. Fenner’s colors commonly catch that wonderful time of day professional photographers like so much called the golden hour, at sunset. as well as sometimes, the pages have the brightness of the morning’s very first light.

The art is deeply impacting without trying to be. The last time I’ve felt this impacted by the art in a graphic book was Nate Powell’s in John Lewis’s March trilogy. As much as I like comics, I normally reread stories for the writing. however considering that I checked out Roxane Gay’s The Sacrifice of Darkness about 24 hours ago, I need to have flipped with the book to take in the art once again a lots times.

All comics as well as graphic novels are team efforts, so while a lot of reviews, such as this one, as well as writeups will refer to the book as Roxane Gay’s The Sacrifice of Darkness, don’t fail to remember that there are three other creators, as well as all four are similarly talented. Here’s a quick lesson about why this happens. One, it’s easier. In comics, writers’ names are always provided first, as well as so they’re referred to first. It’s likewise exactly how citation works. We utilize the very first designer mentioned. Plus, my editor would kill me if I kept composing “Roxane Gay, Tracy Lynne Oliver, Rebecca Kirby, as well as James Fenner’s The Sacrifice of Darkness” every single time. just understand this: The Sacrifice of Darkness is incredible, as well as if you take out any type of of these four skilled individuals, it may still be great or even great, however it wouldn’t be this special.

Want to checked out the original short story, “We are the Sacrifice of Darkness”? It’s difficult to find, however you can buy the American short Fiction issue, #55, at their site.
