You know, the Captain America idea never occured to me, even though the guardian's name is "Rojhas" or something like that. Duh.
Can't wait 'til the next issue.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I would have never thought of Steve Rogers. Yes! A Marvel character that I actually know something about (sorta).
My UBERcomicgeek!co-worker has sworn off buying "new" comics for years, the only comic he buys new issues for is Thor. And he is breaking down and getting 1602 this afternoon because I won't shut up about it.
We are engaged in a be-as-addicted-as-me war. He just got me a subscription to Wizard and I keep leaving my copies of the Last Man on his desk.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Just remembered, I did have to go into a comic store a few years ago to get God Loves, Man Kills for my son for Xmas.

Sweet!
Addiction and poverty - they're both so much better when you can drag your friends down with you.

Another social casualty...
I spent several minutes puzzling over "Rojhas"'s name, trying to figure out what it was supposed to translate to, but Rogers never occurred to me. I guess because I'm not that familiar with Captian America and had forgotten his name is Steve Rogers.

SA, which account did you send it to, and what subject?
Damn. Need more Tick Omnibuses in the house now, too. Stupid comic book store, reminding me what I want to spend my days reading.
And hey, now that Edlund's on the writing staff, I find myself re-reading early Tick and thinking "yeah, perfect fit."

Hell, yes.
My foray into the comic store resulted in my purchase of the "At Death's Door" manga. I also came quite close to purchasing Jay and Silent Bob inaction figures.

Gandolf, should I wait to see if your comic book store has the Fray?
Yes, I got your email.

Nah, it'll be days or longer before I can get to one.
