In the fourteen weeks between Memorial Day and Labor Day, I managed to write something every week– thirteen reviews and eleven Comic Bookmark link columns. I first tried to do something similar at [Panel Patter back in 2021](https://www.panelpatter.com/search/label/sc?ref=fromcovertocover.com). I remember coming close to doing a post a week that summer but plans got derailed at some point that August and didn't finish it. For some reason this past May, this year must have seemed like a good time to try to do it again. Starting the week of Memorial Day, I skipped a review just on one week in July (needed a quick break) and started the review links a week or two into June. I also missed last week for a link post but had a memorial service to go to, moved my son into college, and spent a day at CAKE. This was almost just a test to see if I could do it— if I could get to the end of the summer having put something out there in the world every week like I used to be able to do. And it’s something to look at these links and see just what I wrote this summer. It’s not 100% successful and doesn’t cover everything that I want to write about but it feels good to be on this side of the work. With that said, I’m taking a break for the next couple of weeks from publishing any new stuff. Consider this my late-summer break. But the site won’t be going dark during this time. I’ll be pulling out stuff from my archives and uploading a couple of old pieces a week. So let’s take a look at what the summer looked like here at From Cover to Cover. ## Reviews [Gaiman and Buckingham write the new gospel of Miracleman in The Silver AgeYou’ve got to wonder what Miracleman: The Silver Age would have read like if it had come out in the 1990s instead of the 2020s.![](https://www.fromcovertocover.com/favicon.ico)From Cover to CoverScott Cederlund![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/fc/cbfcdc7f-aad3-4f92-876f-5cbf3043df76/content/images/size/w1200/2024/05/IMG_0388.jpeg)](https://www.fromcovertocover.com/gaiman-and-bucking-ham/) [Feeling Gravity’s Pull in Melissa Mendes’ The Weight #13 & 14This is one of those rare comics that makes you feel something deep and heart-wrenching.
