It seems like everything he likes goes over my head. I like these stories too, but I have to not question them to enjoy them.
BaD 3: Comics Day 1

There will be four comics Wednesdays this month. Sometimes I get something video game related, but even if I don't, comics go in my toy box with games and miniatures; they all seem to go together. So this is what I got today.
Colonel Weird: Cosmagog 1-3. I am now up to date on this series since I got #4 last week. I will now understand what's going on.
Normally, back when I was doing this regularly, say. . . 2010 or thereabouts, I would take these comics right over to a coffee and cookie shop nearby and read them over coffee and cookies, but I fear sugar and caffein now so I took them home, and being tired, haven't had a moment to read them. But I will, later tonight over dinner. So let's take a look at its writer Jeff Lemire.
So Jeff has written and illustrated a lot of comics in the 2000s, won Eisner Awards, and basically done a ton of quality work for DC, Marvel, and his own and other indie publishers. I only knew him from the series Trillium which was about a love affair between two people separated by time and space. Time travel, space, and alternate dimensions seem to be recurring interests of Jeff. Well, this goes great with my interest in Dr. Strange and basically all those things he likes including bizarre art and mind-bending stories.
Colonel Weird, I just learned, is a character from his Black Hammer series. This Cosmagog series is just the four issues I now have and tells a sort of back story and future story of that character.
Neato and excelsior! I can't wait until dinner.
