Spinning out of DOKTOR SLEEPLESS #4: http://grinding.be/. A groupblog run by a crack team of mental patients with the brief to discover and present The Future — particularly the “future” of DOKTOR SLEEPLESS and grinder culture — wherever it lays, in potential, in the soil of The Present.

Seeing this recent review of Crécy by Chris Beckett at the Pulse reminded me that I should post some of the other acclaim for the graphic novel that I’ve run across in recent times. Alan David Doane named the saga one of his best books of 2007 (see his review also, which begins with the line “It’s entirely possible Crécy is the perfect Warren Ellis comic book.”). Then there was a Guardian writer calling it Best New Graphic Novel awhile back, and the discussion of the book on G4’s Fresh Ink segment.
Check out our Crécy section for more artwork and info. Available in comic shops and book stores all over.
