My pusher kept recommending Starman to me.

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

Picked up two Green Arrow trades today. Both Kevin Smith.

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.

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.

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.

After reading the first 57 in a straight shot

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.

I've had many laugh out loud moments reading Ultimate Spidey. It's actually easier for a book or other written material to ellicit "Oh my God, I'm going to die" levels of laughter from me than TV or movies or whatnot. I also loved the little bit after Kingpin and Spidey have their little chat in the restaraunt and Spidey gets up to leave.

Kingpin: Young man, did you web my feet to the floor?
Spidey: Maybe.
Kingpin: What possible satisfaction could you gain from doing that?
Spidey: I don't understand you and you don't understand me.

I love that you don't even see the webbing, just the perturbed look on Kingpin's face.

Oh, yeah!!! I laughed at that, too -- AND at Aunt May telling Jonah Jameson that Hitler wants his moustache back!

Is the 3 issue Miracleman Apocrypha series worth getting?

It was pretty obviously written by lesser lights than Moore or Gaiman. I don't really remember much else about it.

I skimmed over the last...um...92 posts and don't think this has been posted:
