Mea culpa

So...I have ADD. Sorry for not updating consistently. I've been working on a couple of projects not to mention my "real" job so yeah. My new plan is to update a couple of times a month. I've got about 30 books to catch up on reading so be prepared to be bombarded. =)

In movie news...
Iron Man. I thought it was brilliant. Robert Downey pulled off a great Tony Stark. In case you've been living in a cave, here's the trailer:

X-Factor - Volume 3

Story by: Peter David | Art by: Pablo Raimondi with Khoi Pham & Sandu Floria | $14.99 USD, $24 CAN| marvel.com




X-Factor has issues. They are all lining up to talk out their problems with the frustrated shrink. I especially liked the human side of Multiple Man in this volume. He has to go find himself. Literally. His duplicates are getting carried away and therefore he must round them back up. An interesting look at identity in general.

Black Hole

Story & Art by: Charles Burns | $17.95 USD, $22 CAN| pantheonbooks.com



You've got to love any book with a cover like that right?? I love the suspense and the darkness in this book. It's like reading a (good) M. Night Shamalan movie. Even though it's a really thick book it goes by quickly.

Invincible - Family Matters (Vol. 1)

Story by: Robert Kirkman | Art by: Corey Walker | $12.99 USD | imagecomics.com



Life is hard in high school. It's harder still to juggle adolescence PLUS being a superhero. The story is about a boy named Mark. Mark's Dad is from another planet (think: Superman) but Mom is from Earth. Mark's Mom is a crack up. I like this series, I think I'll get volume 2.

Marvel 1602

Story by: Neil Gaiman | Art by: Andy Kubert | $19.99 USD | marvel.com


I'm partial to historical fiction. Mix in a touch of Marvel into it and I'm in heaven. heh. In this book, the Marvel universe is set in, well the 1600s. The art is very Van Gogh and the story is fun to read.

Circe as WW is kicking butt! But, I guess the ends don't justify the means. heh. Diana & Hercules head to Circe's Greek island home to try and set things right. Diana does look better in the outfit.
