Last night we ended up not going to see the new Batman movie. I’m not sure when I’ll be seeing it, if I see it before August 4th. Instead we ended up going to the book store and Denny’s.
This morning I woke up kinda early(for a Sunday) and went to the comic shop. When we were at Chapters last night, I found the most recent issue of The Hulk, and after reading one page I put it down, and was hellbent on reading all the issues up until that one. So, I went out and picked up The Hulk #1-4 + King Size Hulk #1, Thunderbolts: Faith In Monsters, and Showcase Presents: Batman and The Outsiders Volume #1.
All of which were pretty good. I am addicted to this new Hulk storyline. It’s reasons like this that I started reading comics in the first place. The story is good, the artwork is amazing, and you keep wanting to know what happens next. Those are elements that have been lacking in most comics as of late, so it’s a pleasant surprise to find all of that in one series. I even chose the current storyline to be my first article over at Caffeinated Comics. I’m gonna try to post a new article over there every Sunday.
While I was at the comic shop, I was given an advertisement featuring the 2008 Manitoba Comic Con & Sci Fi Expo. I told Aly that I’m taking her to it, and she seems pretty excited. I’m really happy about that!
I don’t like the idea of paying for Autographed pictures…at least not $35, but there’s a couple of people there I’d like to meet….like Lou Ferrigno, John De Lancie, Helen Slater and Kurt Busiek. So, I’m thinking I should probably put aside a couple hundred dollars for that weekend, just in case I wanna geek out and buy some merch. Also, a certain percentage of all the autograph sales are going to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, so I guess I feel alright about paying for maybe a couple of autographed photos…
