The Plot… (beware of spoilers)
One summer evening snow begins to fall. Juan Salvo and some friends move to the window to check it out. They’re shocked to see anyone outside suddenly drop dead as the snow touches them. The snow falls though the night. Juan rigs together a suit with gas mask so that he can venture out to search for his daughter.
As the days go on, it becomes clear that few have survived. Many of those who did are just as dangerous as the snow. Then they learn about the arriving aliens. Juan and his friends will need to band together in order to live.
Thoughts
The Eternaut is an Argentine television series created by Bruno Stagnaro. It is based on the comic strip The Eternaut created by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López. The strip ran from 1957 through 1959. In 1977, Héctor Germán Oesterheld, along with his four daughters were taken into custody by Argentina’s last military dictatorship. Oesterheld’s writings against the military junta made him a target. He and his daughters were never seen in public again.
I liked the pacing of season one.
Bring on season 2!
THE KNIVES: A CRIMINAL BOOK by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips is Coming!
A new CRIMINAL book from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips has been a long time coming. Thankfully, the wait is coming to an end in September when THE KNIVES is released. Here’s the lowdown…
THE FIRST NEW CRIMINAL BOOK IN FIVE YEARS!
With the Prime Video adaptation premiering soon, crime comic grandmasters Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips return to their most acclaimed series with a new standalone graphic novel: THE KNIVES.
A sprawling CRIMINAL epic, THE KNIVES is the most ambitious tale Brubaker and Phillips have ever tackled. Three dark journeys wind around each other over a decade, like sharks hunting for a kill.
Cartoonist Jacob Kurtz goes to Hollywood in the era of peak TV to work on an adaptation of his comic strip, only to find himself caught up in the life of his aging aunt and the vultures circling her estate. Angie was raised at the Undertow, but now everything she loves has been taken from her. She’s on the streets with vengeance on her mind, her eyes set on the city’s kingpin. And finally, Tracy Lawless is home from the Special Forces, finally a civilian again, but he’s in bad shape and this city has always brought out the worst in him.
These three tales collide in THE KNIVES a breathtaking noir story about greed, ambition, heartbreak, and blood ties. A must-have for all Brubaker and Phillips fans!

Superman by Eric Canate!
If you follow Eric Canate on X, then you’ve already seen his riff on Superman. Even so, it’s worth another look. But if you don’t follow Eric, you can see what you’re missing.

Marco Finnegan’s CALAVERA P.I. is Coming!
Marco Finnegan’s Calavera, PI is dropping on September 9th. Let me drop a dime…
In 1925, Juan Calavera died a hero. After a career spent outside the law defending the Chicano barrios where the police refused to operate, he earned a reputation for fearlessness . . . and a gunshot in the stomach. Now, five years later, on Día de los Muertos, his restless spirit has been summoned from the grave to help a desperate former colleague unravel a kidnapping all too close to home. With only days to solve the case before he is called back to the underworld, can Calavera reveal the identity of the masked human trafficker known as La Fantasma before tragedy strikes again . . . and solve the mystery of his own murder in the process?
From the desk of rising star Marco Finnegan (Morning Star, Night People), walk the shadow-shrouded alleys of Hollywoodland to solve the mystery of Calavera—a newly resurrected private investigator whose first case is about to straddle the blood-soaked boundaries between the living and the dead!
Preorders are available now.
