You Need To Watch Dynamo Dream
The first episode of Dynamo came out yesterday and it had not really been on my radar. I saw footage of CGI being worked on for this, but I didn’t know it was for this title. There’s a scene where the main character walks onto a lift and is brought down a few levels which had been all over my Youtube quite some time ago, so you may recognize that scene as well.
Little did I know that it was f

Quite enjoyed this slim volume about Artie Dam, a high school history teacher whose personal life is thrust into chaos and upset around the same time that the United States is thrust into chaos and upset from the 2024 presidential electi" Read more of this review » |

| This is a whole lot of wheels spinning and going almost nowhere. Again, the narrative bouncing around helps, to a point. But the two antagonists are toothless and contrived, respectively. Especially this flashback connection to the killer and their m ...more | |

| The series benefits immensely from a longer page count. The character work and plot feels far more fleshed out and thought out, and again benefits from previous entries. Though, once again, the ending becoming somewhat of a continuation felt like a c ...more | |

| This has an impressive amount of plot beats culminate. Very long term questions are finally answered. And, well, just a whole heck of a lot happens—in the entirely gonzo fashion unique to this series. | |

| It’s nice that things come to a conclusion, finally, but a lot of this felt like a mess of things coming together. Especially as a long form arc ending with the killer, but also the cases feeling rushed and fairly unbelievable, as the competency of a ...more | |

| This book finally sees some more substantial character development, but, just like before, it makes the book feel a bit stilted in doing so. The plot is more intricate, but more sensational too. Part of why I like the series is that it’s not typical ...more | |
“The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong to oneself.
Michel de Montaigne”

Michel de Montaigne”

“The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

“And so Ikne walked away from his idyll and got a job sharpshooting for the Perambuco guerrillas in Salvador. It wasn't an easy life, and one day he got shot in the stomach by a lead bullet. The bullet fell in love with him, of course, but she couldn't stop the slow bleed of his gastric cavity into his pancreas, and she felt terrible, which was too bad, since he'd known all along what would happen.
He died; he always said he would.
Someone had to take out the bullet.”

“Balot was gripped by the Doctor's words, not even nodding now. Choice--right. She felt the two words spinning around like hands on a clock, then snapping into position together. A magic moment. Magic that would transport Balot to a different place. In the interior workings of choice and right a number of complicated cogs spun together. The doctor was one of those cogs.”

“Anger didn't do it justice. It was rage and hurt and grief and something hot enough, brutal enough to melt a man's conscience. Whatever damage I was fighting, he knew his own demons and saw them when he looked at me.
I'd never felt so close to him as I did in that moment.
And I never wanted to beat his head against the table so much.”
