Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's to the bookstore I go...
So I went to Borders, along with what seemed like everybody else in the neighborhood. Normally I'm pretty much alone when I look at the comics, but today there were always one to three others there with me. It was almost more than my anti-social nerd tendencies could take!! X_X And a lot of the shelf was kind of a mess. It was pretty sad.
My sister got a book with enough Sudoku to drive anyone nuts, and I got Superman/Batman: Vengeance and All-Star Superman vol. one and two. So far, I've read the latter, and I'm glad I got it. It's really, really good, especially the second part. Though the artwork by Frank Quitely is... um... interesting. It's not *bad*, exactly, but everyone's got old people hands. And they're all the antithesis of Rob Liefeld's ultra-super-muscular drawings, since everyone tends to look like shapeless blobs half the time. It's still a ton better than Quitely's work on The Authority--I mean seriously, if the man can draw decently, then what's his explanation for THIS?!
Anyway. I didn't buy it for the artwork. I mostly bought it for that one legendary makes-you-cry-every-time-you-look-at-it page in volume two. You know the one.
I'll be reading Vengeance later.
