Okay, so, this phenomenon's bugged me for quite a while, but I haven't been able to find a way to talk about it without seeming really sexist, but I think I figured it out. Basically, I think the idea that it's mysoginistic or somehow otherwise biased against females is silly. Which is to say I think being a character in a comic book is hazardous ( Read more... )

So, I probably should've said something about the One More Day storyline already. The basic thrust of the story is from just before the Back in Black storyline: Aunt May was shot by a sniper hired by the Kingpin and is currently being held in a hospital in a coma which she will probably never wake from ( Read more... )

Soooo . . . I guess the guys are fixing are apartment bathrooms this weekend? In case that makes no sense, something happened with flooding in the apartment. I was asleep during this. The apartment complex said we had to move, so we got keys to a new apartment, and then they said "nevermind" and kicked us out of that apartment. I think they just ( Read more... )

I've been kinda having the urge to write lately, only every time I do I can't help but relate whatever character is there with something I've read before. Probably a day or two ago, I was thinking about a guy who is possessed by a demon, but strong enough to resist its takeover, so he more or less reaps the benefits and turns his new powers against ( Read more... )

Soooo . . . AIM doesn't seem to work at work any more. Crazy, I know. In any case, . . . sorry. Had to run a crazy man out of our pantry here. Apparently, the ketchup packets are "hidden" in the assortment of bowls we have containing packets of stuff. Why the pantry door was open, I'll never know. But that's taken care of now. So superfun stuff, ( Read more... )

So, just finished Spider-Man: Reign, and I think it's probably the most vital or raw comic I've read in a long time. It's like a condensed Earth X, only there's less subplots, less characters. Less to distract you from the point. The point is that the world is a dark place, especially as of late, and that the only way to bring light back to it is ( Read more... )

So, I got the end of Sandman. Vol 9 was . . . rather conventional, comicwise. Well, as much as Sandman ever is. Vol 10 was pretty awesome though. I enjoyed it a great deal ( Read more... )

So I've finally managed to find a synopsis of the full events of Civil War: Frontlines, and, to be honest, while the beginning issues I like (possibly due to bias towards the anti-registration faction) I've found I really dislike the conclusion. Basically, Tony Stark is considered a hero for almost causing a war with Atlantis, helping to enforce ( Read more... )

So, I stopped by teh comic book shop today and caught up with a few series and got a new one ( Read more... )

So on Mitch's suggestion, and the fact that it's written by Warren Ellis, I picked up Fell today. I also picked up Eternals, which was kinda weird in its own way, but Eternals is an older property, and I won't be getting into that. Suffice it to say that the Eternals would beat the holy shit out of the New Gods ( Read more... )
