Tampa Bay lost Game 5 and I'm going to need retail therapy so I don't go for chocolate therapy.
So I see myself checking out Green Arrow trades....because obviously I don't have enough comics to read.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Picked up two Green Arrow trades today. Both Kevin Smith. Read the intro to Quiver. Laughed uproariously. Realized I was doomed.
Picked up the first Starman trade, on account of it being a limited comic day for me, and on account of people saying it's really good.
The doom keeps coming.
Managed, however, to avoid clearing out their Impulse backstock.
Cursing that I missed the seed on that. Wasn't invested yet.
Need more Bart now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My pusher kept recommending Starman to me.
As for Kevin Smith, I really enjoyed his Daredevil run, though the Quesada art didn't hurt.

I liked Quiver, but didn't love it like some people did. I think that's the part of me that read a lot of the Grell run first. That seems to hit the usual split. Also, WTF was up w/the Our Fathers w/Connor? Hell-o? Not. Catholic. I mean, I'm not an ashram expert, but...

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Your pusher is right. "Starman" is among the finest super hero stories I've ever read.

I may have to seize the cat.

What's the one that's not Quiver?
I didn't go to the comic book sale on Wed. and thus didn't pick up two trades. This is good because it means I'll actually spend less money on Saturday when I head over there, since I'll not be able to justify buying two on a "but it's half off!" thing.
Probably gonna get Y - The Last Man TPB #2.
Debating about Essential Wolvie #1 - I could read it in the store, but it's so nice to HAVE those. But I think, with my upcoming month of free time (that ought to be spent cleaning, packing, and updating websites) I will probably be visiting the megabookstores quite a bit and treating them like libraries for comics.

What's the one that's not Quiver?
Er. Sounds of Violence, I believe.
As for Quiver, I liked it well enough. I think it did what it needed to do in terms of rebooting that much history, although I felt that the exposition got a little too exposition-y at times.
But I was laughing out loud while reading it, and I stayed up until almost 3am this morning just to see how it ended. And I really dig the art.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Got Ult. Spidey #59 and #60 as well as Ult. X-Men #44 and #46. They didn't have Ult. Spidey #58
Man, I am SO far behind in Ultimate Spidey! The last one I have is #53. If they're up to #60, then at this point I'ma just wait for the next TPB.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Man, I am SO far behind in Ultimate Spidey!
I wish I had been more behind. After reading the first 57 in a straight shot, reading only two of them at once was kind of a let down. Want more.

Spidey giving the Kingpin's thug a wedgie was the funniest damn thing I've seen in a comic in a long time. I generally don't laugh out loud at anything I'm reading -- text or comics -- but that made me do my loud embarrassing donkey laugh.
