Reply to this blurb with your email address and we’ll work out the bag & board shipping extravaganza. I’ll delete the blurb you send me so as not to attract spam bots.

A few weeks ago at a pretty sad little comic shop here locally I found Spiderman One More Day. My wife was somewhat interested, so we picked it up. I had high hopes she’d love it and it’d give me a good excuse to subscribe to another title. Fast forward a couple days and she REALLY didn’t like it. I don’t know specifically if she was expecting something close to the movies or what. Maybe I should see if Brand New Day would be better? Anyhow, I picked up the book and only made it through about 8 pages. I just really did not like it at all. Peter wasn’t the Peter I was familiar with in my younger days.

On a good note, I started Booster Gold from #1. Oh my goodness! The humor alone makes the book worth it. I absolutely love reading it and can’t wait till I get some more issues! My wife also enjoyed it. Though I suspect not as much as me. Oh well, can’t win them all.

I also can’t stress enough how good Atomic Robo is. It sorta reminds me of the adventures Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes) fame would have had if he were a robot built during the 1920’s. Some quality of Robo just reminds me of a kid having fun with Nazi cyborgs and whatnot. Call me crazy, but I just get that sort of feeling from the book.

‘Tis all for now, catcha later.
