I have so many comics I need to read. I picked up the first five issues of Batman: The Widening Gyre on Free Comic Book day and haven't had a chance to read them. I need to go get the sixth. Aparently there are gonna be another six.
I dont even know what the hell else is lying around my room.

Augh, Kevin Smith is SO BAD at comics. His Spider-Man Black Cat series was so bad. Black Cat almost gets raped, and then later she tells everyone she did get raped but by a different guy and that's why she became the Black Cat. Because the only traumatic event that can happen to women in comics is rape, dead parents or freak accidents aren't good enough.

Speaking of men being raped and horribly inappropriate segues, I'm reading Preacher. What a fucking fuck of a book.

Fucking Garth Ennis is a good writin' motherfucker. That fuckin' guy's fuckin' Punisher run was the best shit ever from that fuckin' character.

I just got Transmetropolitan vol 1. Ennis writes a pretty good intro to that.
also, Spider Jerusalem rules.

I found someone selling a huge collection of Bluewater comics yesterday. I bought the Ellen Degeneres and JK Rowling biographies, a Jesus comic book, and a giant Beatles graphic novel. And Marvel had a special Obama edition of Spiderman. Bought that too. The guy didn't have a lot of the other non-biographical series that Bluewater publishes, but he gave me his number to call him in a couple of weeks because he usually stocks everything.

Bluewater is mostly crap except for the Lady Gaga and Stephenie Meyer ones. I'm not kidding. The Meyer issue is framed a story told by DRACULA, and the Lady Gaga one is about a 30 year old man who wants to be Lady Gaga.

I did not, I am not a Venture viewer. Now that you mention it though Grizzly Shark did look pretty similar to VB.

Oh yeah that's been out for a while. Haven't read it though. I think Patton had a story in DC's comedy anthology Bizarro World, which is really cool.

Ha I literally just came to post about that. I picked it up today. Nice one-shot. Apparently there's one more Firefly comic coming out around September.

So, SP6 retroactively makes the whole series intensely cerebral ALONG with being funny and emotional! Couldn't have asked for a better ending.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Y/N? I just started reading vol. 1, and it's not grabbing me yet.
Also, just finished Penny Century (A Love and Rockets book) and it sucked. Sucked sucked sucked sucked.
Also finished Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. She writes Dykes to Watch Out For. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
