Reader and enjoyer of comics. You may remember me from such blogs as Grotesque Anatomy and Sporadic Sequential.

I'd never have to read the news again you say. Hmmm...
That was a fun sci-fi/horror manga, kind of a cross between the 70s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Last of Us.
Wednesday evening library pickup. Or: The time John remembered you can borrow CDs from the library.
Read through Blue Flag volumes 2–4 and now waiting on 5. I'm really enjoying this series: the characters all fell so real and fully developed with rich inner lives. Kaito does an amazing job depicting everyday scenes and quiet events. The composition, staging, and acting are all so good.
Mike Allred draws the DCU in Crisis!
Kaito is equally adept at other artistic endeavors, including comedic bonus episodes, stylish chapter title illustrations, and cute filter cartoons.
Superman pencils studies by Mike Allred and logo design options for the Superman: Space Age series.
The copy of the Superman: Space Age hardcover I got from the library was missing a page at the end so I checked what was supposed to be there on DCUI Ultra and I'm guessing a previous patron tore out the reprint of Allred's cover to Action Comics #1050 to hang as a poster.

I'm a sucker for artists who can stretch their style from realistic to cartoony and Kaito is so good at it. He gives Mami some of the best reactions & expressions.

Randomly read Blue Flag Vol. 1 digitally via the library and really enjoyed it. KAITO has a really appealing art style that works equally well for cartoonish and more realistic characters. I was glad I didn't know anything about it going in so the revelation at the end hit as intended.
