Shoveling slush kinda takes the mischievous streak right outta ya!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have to say how impressed I am with your tiny comic book list! Congratulations....you're not only losing excess pounds, but you're losing excess comic books as well!<BR/><BR/>Slim pickins' for me this week:<BR/><BR/><B>Action Comics #863:</B> If this issue is even half as good as last issue (with the incredibly entertaining Substitude Heroes), I'm in for a treat...especially since it's the concluding chapter to the Legion of Superheroes storyline. I hope to see more of this version of the Legion, and some resolution on just what's going on with the two Legion teams running around the DCU.<BR/><BR/><B>Zorro #2:</B> I recall that you bought it last month, so you might want to add it to your list (sorry!). I thought it was okay....though the art wasn't up to where I think it should be. I'll give it a couple more months to light my fire.<BR/><BR/>I'm toying with the idea of drinking the "Secret Invasion" Kool-Aid and picking up issue #1. Should I do it? I feel like I've been through this before with DC's "Millenium" event years ago (where there were also "hidden spies" among the DC heroes), but it appears that Marvel is playing a higher stakes game that DC's rather mild fallout from Millenium...so that's the part that intrigues me. I'll think about it.<BR/><BR/>Well, that's it for me! Still no interest to pick up "Countdown" even though we're in the final month. Every time I flip through it at the store, there's just nothing that yanks me in. Nothing.<BR/><BR/>On that happy note, have a great, prank-free April Fool's Day!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512092617863126826noreply@blogger.com
