My Haul

OK People I have been very lax in getting things up here. I just have not had the time to read that much and i try not to review to many things because i do not want to spoil that much.

Anyway here is my pick up this week:

Countdown
Amazing Spiderman
Detective Comics
Spawn
Doktor Sleepless
The Boys

Those last two are anbelievably good comics. If you don't read indie books i would suggest you gave those two a try. if you only like capes books then pick up the boys for a whole new take on the genre. If you like science fiction then Doktor Sleepless is something that you will want to read and re read every month.

I also got my DCBS box yesterday and it was the biggest one yet.

The highlights out of this box for me is:

Thirteen Steps (one of my top five books in a while)
The Sword (this takes another top five spot)
and Comics Now Magazine (I mean come on there is a 20pg article on Crisis on infinite earths in it)

I plan on reading a lot more and peosting a lot more in the coming weeks because i will be off from work until the beginning of march. I know i will be spending a lot of time taking care of my daughter but there are naps thank god and i will try to pry my hands off of the XBox controller.

Talk to you later,

My Haul

Hey all This has been the week from hell:

What i got this week:

Countdown
Batman
Green Lantern
Superpowers
Action comics

Well this week started off with Me being sick on monday Tuesday i found out about Brother Mikes Death, Wednesday was the wake, Thursday the wife threw out her back so i had to go home early to take care of the kid, Today we had an ice storm and i fell at work but not good enough to go home and in the process spilt my starbucks all over myself. Yeah thank god this weeks over.

Oh But the best thing i have ever purchased came yesterday. XBox 360. I want to explain my laziness to all of you. I have been debating to get this system for a while now. I really didn't have the money but i am not responsible so that did not matter to me as long as i could hide the expense from the wife. After talking it over with a bunch of friends who have the system i was still slightly on the fence (but my fat ass was slowly falling towards the side of buying it). Well my birthday came and went i a got enough money to actually buy it and what threw me over the fence was my friend Joe explaining to me that you can turn the console off and on from the controller. Man what a useless fuck i am. It wasn't the great games, The graphics, The sound that sold the system to me but the fact that i didn't have to pick my fat ass off the couch in order to turn the system on. If that is not the epitome of laziness that i don't know what is.

Oh yeah if any of you want to join me on Live my gamertag is mrpalmer420.

Talk to you later
