this is the representation nepo babies deserve

I think it's important to know, there's an older picture of David signing stuff, with his father-in-law WHO WAS THE FIFTH DOCTOR, holding a very similar sign behind David's back. I don't have the pic, but you can probably find it if you look a bit.

The Lonesome Hunters Volume One by Tyler Crook. Dark Horse, 2023. 9781506731018. Contains #1 - 4. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781506731018?partnerid=34778&p_bt

100 years ago Howard was given a magical sword to strike a blow for his church and end pagan worship. But a demon had already been summoned, and things didn't end well. He survived, though. And now he's really old (though he has aged better than he would have without the sword). He's also very grumpy.

Lupe stole a pocket watch from her uncle. And then finds out it wasn't his to begin with -- he stole it from the magpies. When one comes to get it back, it possesses her uncle, and Lupe turns to Howard for help. He tries a magic ward, which doesn't work. So he takes the magical sword out of a box that's much too small to hold it, and when he uses it he sets a bunch of dark, supernatural stuff in motion.

It's the ultimate old man/teen girl team-up, and I hope there's a sequel soon.

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

This was originally going to be a lot longer, but I ran out of steam! I have some thoughts to continue it later if I feel up to it!
