First off, fuck. There, now that my desperate need for opportune yet totally irrelevant vulgarity has been satisfied I am ready to write…maybe.
I hate living in a “swing” state. The local news channels are constantly chattering about what politician or activist is going to what town to rally for what cause and no one but the unions seem to give a shit. Due to their frequent visits, signs, stickers, buttons, and posters are everywhere, proving that neither of these candidates are very environmentally friendly. Most of all I hate the constant commercials. I saw four John Kerry commercials in a row yesterday, four!. The first commercial explained to me that Bush is a lying, incompetent, war monger; I didn’t need to see three more to reiterate that same statement. Jesus, do I ever miss the anti-smoking ads.
Now, onto something entirely unrelated to the previous paragraph. I frequent Borders. About a month or so ago a new girl started working at the coffee counter. She is absolutely gorgeous. About two weeks ago I vowed that I was going to ask her out the next time I saw her. Unfortunately, I have yet to see her again, which sucks. Point is, if you see someone that you are attracted to you are better off just asking them out immediately…don’t beat around the bush.
So it is Wednesday today, that means I’ll be heading to the comic shop during lunch. Today, Green Lantern Rebirth comes out, which should be cool. One comic that I am more or less infatuated with is “Identity Crisis”. It is probably the best entire world mini-series that DC has ever created. The art is amazing, and the penciler, Rags Morales, is quickly becoming my comic book favorite artist. The plot isn’t shabby either. Identity Crisis was written by novelist Brad Meltzer (of Zero Game fame) and it focuses on the DC Universe Heroes and how they cope when their families are targeted by villains.
If you are looking for a good comic, this is a great place to start. Issue one just had a second printing, so it is available, and you can usually still buy 2-5 at cover price.
