Hello hello, blog.

For those of you reading this, who were at my house this past Spring break Saturday, I assure you this title's subtitle is "Damn you, Sams!".

Damn them for their keen business sense, that is.

The reason I'm posting today is that, this Saturday, I went to a "Lone Star Comics" store. You may notice that "South Arlington" is on that list of locations. 4001 West Green Oaks Blvd, it so happens.

I bought a nifty "best-of" volume for Wolverine, which had a few choice old comics, a rather hard to look at comic by Todd McFarlane, and some more recent comics, all of which, I have to say, enjoyed.

Whether or not I will make this into an interest, I dunno. Did you know there were Battlestar Galactica comics? I saw those.

I also saw something marked off as "Ultimate X-Men", on issue 99 if I recall. That, if anything, astounded me. I was under the impression most comics today took the form of the odd graphic novel, or a semi-long series around 20 issues long.

But here was this.

The pros I can see from getting into comics would have to be
1. Small packages of entertainment
2. Near-weekly updates
3. Low price(?)
4. A small market you would be helping

The cons I can see though
1. Large eventual cost

And I can't think of anything else.

If you can think of any cons, please do tell me.

In another bit of news, I bought "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft. H.P. Lovecraft, even for a racist, could write man. I gotta tell ya. I havn't been able to criticize it yet, and I think, if there is anything I will have to get addicted to, it will be the Cthulhu Mythos.

Anyways, Nestea pong. We gotta do it some time.
