Well, I just got home a while ago with the five books I bought this week, including Fallen Angel Reborn #2, but haven’t read them yet.
However, I’m pleased that my first published artwork, a one-page sequence featuring Slingshot, appeared in Dynamo 5 #23 today, this time for real (it was supposed to appear in #22 but didn’t).
A friend from high school is trying to start a comic book-themed eatery that sells comics in lower Manhattan, but he didn’t get the 10 copies I asked him to order for me because of a conflict in which he and Diamond are embroiled, so I’ll have to go get them at Midtown Comics Times Square, probably tomorrow.
Made it today to at lunch to pick up Fallen Angel Reborn #2. will read it tonight when I get home.
At least with new shop I found closer to work and home I can get over and pick it up much sooner than I did in the past. (Thank goodness for shops who will order and put on hold for you, its a wonderful service.)
I was rather annoyed by the fact that my LCS didn’t get Fallen Angel: Reborn in this week. It isn’t their fault, though. They ordered it. Instead, they were sent the TPB of Angel: After the Fall. I can let that go as an honest mistake as long as the real book gets in within the next few weeks.
I got The Boys #33 today (a comic that should surely have a ‘Suggested for Immature Readers’ label on it) and was made to giggle by the brutal, cape-killing Billy Butcher using Ron Weasley’s “Come and have a go if you think you’re haaaard enough!” song.
.
Also have The Hangman oneshot that starts The Red Circle, and I’m happy to say that it doesn’t strike me as “The Twelve: Archie Heroes Version.” Well, at least not yet. Plus it had an American Civil War story in it and those are always engrossing to me. Also, I liked Tom Derenick’s art more than I thought I would, so it was worth the price of admission.
.
Then there’s War Machine #8, which I’m sad to see is going the whole-hog Dark Reign route right after it seemed like it was going to strike off into its own territory. I get it, Norman Osborn’s a jerk who’s making all our heroes lives worse. I GET IT. Ah, well.
It’s not so much “Stash” Wednesday as “Hold These Books for Me” Wednesday here. I’ve been amazed by how few books are still on my list after purging most of the $3.99 22-pagers. My average over the last few years has been at least five books a week, but as of right now, I have five books total over the last two, which isn’t worth burning the gas for the 90-minute round trip. So, this week’s Buffy, Secret Six and Exiles goes in the box with last week’s Wonder Woman and Dark Tower, and I’ll make my pickup along with next week’s books (presuming anything on my list comes in next week).
I finished reading most of the five books I bought today, including Fallen Angel. Although I’ve never watched Buffy, I’m enjoying the book, naturally. Interestingly, I just discovered yesterday that Buffy is now on Hulu. Yay!
I’m also enjoying the “World’s Most Wanted” storyline in Iron Man, even if I don’t buy the idea of Tony’s plan to erase his own mind, which is dumb (did he come up with this dumb plan before or after he started to go dumb?), and I’m also enjoying Captain America Reborn. I’m also curious to see where the story in Dynamo 5 is going. I hope Jay Faerber doesn’t cop-out next issue after the image seen of the cover at th end of this issue.
I still have to read Hulk #13.
See, I feel bad now. I’ve decided to start picking up FALLEN ANGEL in trade only (I’ve been buying it in both, but it got too expensive). It’s definitely one of my favorite books, but stuff has gotten too expensive for me to buy single issues and trades of the same material.
I look forward to reading the collection when it comes out…

Just one comic this week (having given up on WedComics), and it was Buffy. Which had a good story in there somewhere, but which was, as usual, a muddle of a mess by Espenson and Jeanty. As glad as I am to see Oz, I really am getting tired of feeling like I’m missing some crucial parts of the story month after month.
I picked up Doom Patrol #1, and…well, I was kind of under the impression that it was going to be continuity-lite, self-contained, and feature new villains and lots of action. (I don’t know where I got this impression, possibly from Keith Giffen’s interview on Newsarama where he said exactly that.) Instead, I got loads of talking heads, a set-up that seems to be somehow intimately connected with ’52’ in some way I don’t get yet, and a ‘To Be Continued’. I’m not sure if I should even wait for issue 2, given the kind of bait-and-switch I feel I got here.
(The back-up is good, though. Self-contained, continuity-lite, lots of action–and humor!–and a new, if throw-away villain. Maybe that should be the main feature, and they should have Doom Patrol be the back-up.)
I got Fallen Angel:Reborn #2 and I read it! I’m really enjoying the story line, but where did Illyria come from? Am I supposed to know something about her background? How does she fit into the religious/mythical structure of reality as portrayed in Fallen Angel? She’s a good character, but it’s as if she popped out of one reality into another, which does not normally happen in that title. Does this make sense in the Fallen Angel universe, or is PAD creating a multiverse as a marketing tactic, to get fans of some other fictional universe to read the title? Oh well, I guess all will be revealed.

Bobo is not picking anything up this week.
Is Bobo sad? I would be.
