Body melting..send Iceman!
Oct. 1st, 2008 05:02 pmA/C in car finally gave up the ghost. Have to take the car in tomorrow to get it recharged. Still that meant driving to deliver roommate spare keys, then comics, then parents, then rush hour so that roommate could get in apartment. All with no a/c and 106 degree heat. IN FUCKING OCTOBER. Which is something that probably thrills ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

New Comics Day 10/1
Oct. 1st, 2008 05:39 pmThe roommate brought home mint chocolate chip ice cream. Because he wants me to die! But he can't have my comics! Remember that when my swollen corpse is bloating in the sun. NO COMICS FOR HIM! Especially not my NatTurner collection. NO KYLE BAKER FOR HIS MURDERING COOTIE INFESTED HANDS!
Also he can't have my Mini-Marvels: Rock, Paper, Scissors, mostly because he bought his own. But its got "Paperboy Blues", "CerealQuest", "Paperboy Showdown", "Hulk Date", the World War Hulk inspired "Round Trip", "Passing the Torch" and "Iron Avengers" which has the debut of Marvel's greatest hero, ELEPHANT STEVE!
As for my pull list, kind of a light week this time. Only five books and nothing at all from Marvel. Did have Top 10: Season 2 by Zander and Kevin Cannon, with Gene Ha still doing art. The story seems to be set while Smax and Toybox are off on "vacation" dealing with the events in Smax' mini-series. Good start so far, with the cops of Precinct 10 having to deal with a new commisioner and a new recruit from that person's Precinct. Doesn't overwhelm with a slew of new characters, works in some face time for the previously under-represented Multiwoman and even has an Aztec version of Captain Marvel...
Army@Love volume 2 continues with cursed ape-woman sex, breast tracking implants and time traveling hit pop numbers. Veitch is a crazy genius. Or just crazy...
On Manhunter Kate and a few friends go to town on the neophyte super-villain army being built by the new Crime Doctor. And Chase and Mark are searching for the missing Dylan. Though Chase's revelation is kind of cliched at this point for a Woman of Action Prone to Bad Relationship Moves...
Leaving DC for Image we start with a new Invincible, where it looks like an international super-powered gang war may be brewing. And Marc and Eve try for a "normal" date. Well normal for them. And not ONE person is disemboweled, decapitated, exploded or otherwise bloodily injured in a brutally gory manner. The worst anyone gets is a nosebleed. SHOCKING!
And Larsen might actually be on some kind of regular schedule again with The Savage Dragon. He's put someone else in as Image EiC and decided to NOT do art, story, lettering AND colors on each issue. I think the decision to let someone else do letters and colors actually shows nicely in this issue, that features guest appearances by Jack Staff and G0dland's Adam Archer...

Stupid ABC
Oct. 1st, 2008 08:02 pmStupid network keeping the stupid Private Practice is the same time slot so it stupidly wrecks what could otherwise be a perfect night of television...
Bailout passes Senate, goes for House vote on Friday. So some of you out there HAVE to know more about economics than me. Explain to me WHY companies whose leaders mismanaged themselves INTO this problem have to be saved. HOW if it doesn't have a giant cash band-aid put on it RIGHT NOW the whole world goes up in flames...
I see people pointing at Washington Mutual as a sign post that the bailout MUST HAPPEN OR ALL OUR BANKS WILL BE NEXT. Except WaMu got gobbled up by a financial institution that DIDN'T fuck themselves. So as far as I can tell, anyone who has or IS banking with them is at the same spot as before. WHY can't the same happen to the others? Let them become weak and easy prey for solvent companies?
Because hell, I could easily be missing something here. I'm no finance expert. Or even a dillentante. But all I see as the reason behind the urgent need for the bailout are vague forecasts of doooooom and constant mentions of the Great Depression. So educate me. PLEASE...
