HoS

So...I've been reading on House of Secrets (1996 - 1998 version) pretty steadily since I first mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. And I have been enjoying it mightily. Rain is a great character, for sure.  And Ben. Oh, yeah, I love Ben. And Traci. Hope she's going to be okay. I don't really understand what's going on with the whole Court in the Closet thing...but it seems to be revealing itself slowly, and I'm a patient man. (Just ask any of my ex-wives.) And I really like Teddy Kristiansen's artwork. So, yeah. Keeping at it.

And then came issue #12. With guest art by Guy Davis. And...

...a good comic book became a great comic book. I am still in recovery from the ending. But I felt compelled to Town Crier it right away. This book is available on ComiXology for $1.99. ( https://www.comixology.com/House-of-Secrets-1996-1998-12/digital-comic/178374?ref=c2VyaWVzL3ZpZXcvZGVza3RvcC9ncmlkTGlzdC9jb21peG9sb2d5VW5saW1pdGVk ) Or you can probably find it in a comic book store for a couple of bucks. (I am going to be looking for it next time I hit The Great Escape.) And if you care about comic books, you might want to do one of those things, too. 

'Cause it's not only good, it's important.
Maybe especially now.

And hey...did I mention Guy Davis? If you don't know Guy, well...the quality of your life will improve 48% after you look at some of his art. It's just amazing stuff.

Oh, you could also join ComiXology and read not only issue #12, but #1 to #11 and #13 to #25 as well. You don't have to--all but the last two pages of #12 are self-contained. But you might want to. And don't forget that ComiXology will give you a big fat thirty day free trial before you even have to pay a dime. 

Let me know what you think.
