you are the only one in this room that is still the same
Picked up comics.
1. I really sort of liked the premise of JMS' Apocalypse Al, but the art is panty-shots and bras peeking out all over the place. Very obviously not being created for women to read. Ugh. NOT buying it again, and really sad I wasted money on it. (otoh, at least now I know who the market for all the sex-ay chicks on the covers of urban fantasy novels are.)
2. Rocket Girl. I wish I weren't so tired of teenagers. Also, Continuum called... (it's probably good, I just wasn't in the mood)
3. Saga was, as ever, amazing. (NOooooo, don't leave me for four months!) It's going on hiatus until May, to give them time to work on other projects and get ahead on the issues. This is probably good, as it means Staples will still continue doing all of the art duties. <3
4. Black Widow I am loving. It is my favorite kind of no-nonsense, action-y, spyjinks with assassinations thrown in stuff for Natasha. And so far? Not a single panel of sexy prostitution to get secrets (and I have three issues. The art is really really lovely)
5. Ms. Marvel. Teenage angst, ugh. That aside, though, it was cute. (I still plan on getting the next issue, but, Marvel, can I please have more Fearless Defenders and Sif? And maybe some Faiza thrown in? sigh)
I bought some other stuff, but haven't read it yet.
