Alright. So I've been buying comics lately. I do that. There is nothing wrong with that, except that I wil probably never have allowance money left over again. Thisweek I only got two. I MEANT to only get one, but, dammit, there was a backup story in X-Men, of all places, that I needed. So I purchased it, read only the back-up and an interview with a paleontologist who'd named a dinosaur after Loki, and am unsure what to do with the rest, which I don't care about or wish to read. Perhpas I shall get a pen and draw humorous mustaches on Scott Summers. That might be amusing.
The backup itself, however, was pure gold and wonderful and I need moremoremore of the author NOW. My only minor quibble was that I kept expecting Magneto to slap Cyke and Wolverine for calling him "Erik." I wasn't aware everybody was on such a nice first name basis, but, like I said, I'm not touching the main run with a ten-foot pole. Major plot developments: Magneto is now pretty sure he has more grandkids, Billy is confirmed to be Jewish (and last issue Teddy talked about going to Episcopalian school. Being religious myself, I like seeing these details of characters, particuarly with Billy and Teddy being boyfriends and all. There was an entire website somewhere, actually, devoted to finding out what religion superheroes were, and it was fascinating.) and Wolverine, in the surprise of the century, does not trust a chronic supervillain around kids.
Anyway. Great fun. Also enjoyed Generation Lost this week. I've always liked Captain Atom, ever since he had a Southern accent on JLU.
