The Voice is the Ventriloquist's Scarface - the Tower is Bledin Towers, a Gotham City apartment building.

Scarface's voice is guidance - he's a symbol under which some of " Bleedin' " Towers' residents've rallied, against the City's demolition plans. They've killed one Gotham cop and taken another hostage - Jim Gordon and others're outside while Batman's made his way in.

Issue #5 had Batman finding that the Ventriloquist wasn't from where Scarface was emanating - he was in the Tower, but his tongue was cut.

Someone else was speaking the gangster's words - not the Towers resident who was apparently his second, but that man's abused wife. She'd ended #5 killing her husband because Scarface told her to - and then turning to the hostage cop, who'd been restrained witness to the act.

#6 opened on Scarface's others rushing in: " What the hell happened here?! "

She told them. )

"The internal relationships have been the beating heart of this book since Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona created it. What I love about writing Runaways is that every character has a specific dynamic with every other character. There are the romances — Chase and Gert, Gert and Victor, Nico and Karolina; Nico and Chase’s domestic partnership; Gert and Nico’s spiky friendship; Chase’s insecurity around Victor; Karolina’s nurturing of Gib … No matter who is on the page, there are big, messy, ongoing dynamics." -- Rainbow Rowell

It's no meeting week at work, which is the best week! And then I'm on PTO next week. I carefully portioned out my to-do list so that I have one main thing to do every day (on top of whatever comes up each day) and it's so satisfying to mostly just cross things off it and not have to go to any meetings (which always add things to my list).

Yesterday, it was so quiet that I was able to read a whole book! Just sitting at my desk and answering email occasionally! So, Wednesday reading!

What I've just finished
Stone and Sky by Ben Aaronovitch, the very latest Rivers of London book. And when I say, "very latest" I mean it was released yesterday. I enjoyed it! spoilers )

What I'm reading next
Idk, I'll keep opening books in my library until I find one that holds my interest, I guess.

Jack Kirby Honored As New York Renames His Birthplace "Yancy Street"

"The corner of the Lower East Side of New York City, Essex Street and Delancey Street, the birthplace of Fantastic Four creator Jack Kirby, has been renamed today in a civic ceremony as Jack Kirby Way and Yancy Street. Jack Kirby was born and lived on that corner, at 147 Essex Street. And he paid tribute to the place he grew up, creating Yancy Street, home to Ben Grimm, The Thing. Much of the Thing's life was based on Jack Kirby and is reflected somewhat in the upcoming movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And hence the ceremony today, attended by members of Jack Kirby's family and Marvel staffers."
