NY Times - Picturing the Past 10 Years
via nytimes.com
Maybe it's just, I cast my eyes back on the last century ...FDR: Oh, I'm sorry, was wiping out our entire Pacific fleet supposed to intimidate us? We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and right now we're coming to kick your ass with brand new destroyers riveted by waitresses. How's that going to feel?
CHURCHILL: Yeah, you keep bombing us. We'll be in the pub, flipping you off. I'm slapping Rolls-Royce engines into untested flying coffins to knock you out of the skies, and then I'm sending angry Welshmen to burn your country from the Rhine to the Polish border.
US. NOW: BE AFRAID!! Oh God, the Brown Bad people could strike any moment! They could strike ... NOW!! AHHHH. Okay, how about .. NOW!! AAGAGAHAHAHHAG! Quick, do whatever we tell you, and believe whatever we tell you, or YOU WILL BE KILLED BY BROWN PEOPLE!! PUT DOWN THAT SIPPY CUP!!
... and I'm just a little tired of being on the wrong side of that historical arc.
Yeah, it's a rerun of his, but oh so relevant..
Looks like Phonogram #1 wasn't the only freebie that Image has posted up at Newsarama.
Death Jr. (vol. 2) #1, The Nightly News #1 , The Pirates of Coney Island (story by Rick 'freakin' Spears of Teenagers from Mars fame) and Cyberforce #1 are also up in their entirety.
Michael Avon Oeming's The Cross Bronx issue #1 is online for your free perusal at hiddenrobots.com.
The four issue mini-series just finished and the trade is in January's Previews, scheduled to ship in March.
The Cross Bronx is a noir-crime/voodoo story about revenge, gangs, guns and a pissed-off mother/Santera priestess. If it only had pirates, it would have been perfect!
Newsarama asked the creators why they're putting the issue up online:
"Our hope is to bring more attention to the trade, which will be out in March. Hopefully people will dig the issue enough to want to cap it off with the whole thing. We've done the same with Powers and we've really opened up our readership" - Mike Oeming"Please read the comic and buy the trade. I don't have kids, but one day I will and they'll probably need shoes." - Ivan Brandon
