And maybe it's just that it's the end of the summer but happenings around the internet feel very light even after being gone for a couple of weeks. So let's just dive into it and take a look at a few of the things that we've looked at since our break started. [All New Collectors’ Edition #56: Superman Vs.

Each is an intriguing reimagining of those characters from strong creative teams, and a lot of digital ink has already been spilled about how these projects came together … Continued![](https://sktchd.com/wp-content/themes/SKTCHD/assets/images/favicon.ico)SKTCHDDavid Harper![](https://sktchd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Absolute-Batman-Header.jpg)](https://sktchd.com/longform/absolute-batman-nick-dragotta-feature/?ref=fromcovertocover.com) I don't know how but all of the hype around these Absolute comics has worked on my and I've ended up adding them to my pull list. I don't know if I need another Scott Snyder Batman comic in my life but I would like a Nick Dragotta one. And reading about Nick Dragotta's process of designing a new Batman is part of that hype but it's nice to undestand some of the thought that's going into this new version of an old character. > Google and Microsoft recently admitted their emissions are soaring as they build data centers to power AI. > > But analysis from The Guardian suggests the data center emissions of Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple are 662% higher than they’re reporting.

Both things can be true. I've got the original b/w books plus the 3-volume color set from a handful of years ago so I'm not jumping out to get yet another set of these but Zack Quaintance and Samantha Puc's rundown of this new set makes me slightly question my resolve not to get another set of these books. Once they talk about the story, I do wonder how we'll continue to discuss older works that reflect the attitudes and language of their time in our more culturally conservative era. Yes, there are things in the series that are cringy now but it would be really glossing over them by just saying "wow, I wish these weren't there." [To Say Nothing of the Horse: Hagai Palevsky on KEN PARKER: THE BREATH AND THE DREAM - SOLRADHagai Palevsky reviews THE BREATH AND THE DREAM, the first in a planned series of translations of the Italian KEN PARKER series of western comics by writer Giancarlo Berardi and artist Ivo Milazzo, published by Epicenter Comics![](https://solrad.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/solrad-sun-300x300.jpg)SOLRADHagai Palevsky![](https://solrad.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-3.png)](https://solrad.co/to-say-nothing-of-the-horse-hagai-palevsky-on-ken-parker-the-breath-and-the-dream-by-giancarlo-berardi-and-ivo-milazzo?ref=fromcovertocover.com) Hagai Palevsky's look at these wordless westerns is a fascinating look at how these kinds of stories can function and also a look at how these kinds of works can fail. [Prophet and Loss: Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Terok Nor #0By Leo Healy What’s this? Issue #0 of a licensed tie-in comic with two colons in the title? Several red flags there, it must be said, but let me explain.

Leo Healy's look at an old, obscure Star Trek comic is a good reminder about the little-seen corners of comics. [Moe’s in Love with a Manga Character - A Cautionary Tale for Obsessive Comics Fans in Olly Telling’s Debut Horror Comic – Broken FrontierOlly telling presents a debut comics short with the horror story ‘Moe’s in love with a Manga Character’.
