This Is Getting to Be a Habit

Kinda muggy today, and I spent a lot of time playing Paper Mario this afternoon. So no update again this week.

Excuses, Excuses

It's not as hot as last week, but I've got a headache that just won't go away. Maybe later in the week. (But don't count on it.)

Too Darn Hot

It is much too warm today to spend any length of time in front of this computer. So no update this week.

Lots of Re-reading

262. Y: The Last Man, vol. 3: One Small Step by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, & Paul Chadwick.
     
263. Y: The Last Man, vol. 4: Safeword by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, & Goran Parlov.
     
264. Y: The Last Man, vol. 5: Ring of Truth by Brian K. Vaughan & Pia Guerra.
     
265. Y: The Last Man, vol. 6: Girl on Girl by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, & Goran Sudzuka.
     
266. Y: The Last Man, vol. 7: Paper Dolls by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, & Goran Sudzuka.
     
267. Y: The Last Man, vol. 8: Kimono Dragons by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, & Goran Sudzuka.
     
268. Y: The Last Man, vol. 9: Motherland by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, & Goran Sudzuka. One of the things I hadn't caught when I read these books the first time around, but I caught on this re-reading, is that time passes for the characters at approximately the same rate that it did for people reading the individual issues. For instance, around issue 12, the characters were saying that it had been about a year since the plague that killed all the men, and towards the end of the series (issue 60), they said that it had been nearly five years. That's a nice touch.
     
269. Y: The Last Man, vol. 10: Whys & Wherefores by Brian K. Vaughan & Pia Guerra. A good, solid ending to the series. One that I think is very satisfying. Re-reading the entire series before tackling the final volume was a good idea; there were lots of details I had forgotten.
     
270. Legion of Super-Heroes: 1050 Years of the Future by various. A nice sampling of LSH stories from the 50 years of their publishing history.
     
271. Lobster Johnson, vol. 1: The Iron Prometheus by Mike Mignola & Jason Armstrong. Another Hellboy spin-off. Two-fisted pulp action.
     
272. Fables, vol. 10: The Good Prince by Bill Willingham & Mark Buckingham, with Aaron Alexovich. Another great volume in this series.
