I have read exactly one comic in the last two months.

It was Batman & Robin. I have tried to read others, oh how I've tried. I haven't even finished the last Scott Pilgrim book. I haven't even read Captain America since, like, last October. I can't even be bothered to read 'em for free anymore, because I just can't...
I dunno, I want to be enthralled--either with outrage or whatever it is when you like comics--by the crazy Green Lantern crossover and the Red Robin (the concept,at least sounds good), um, Mysterius (I really enjoyed the second issue), and certainly the Muppet Show is good, and really, I'd love to read a good Superman or Spider-Man comic, but I've just reached that point where, I don't know, I guess I don't care that the Earth-2 Lois Lane is a Zombie, and I mean, really, that purple-frock, how sanguine could she have been to begin with?
But if I've got one comic every month (or every third month, Mr. Quitely), I guess I'm still cool to hang out here, right?

cool by me

Also, what do I do with this extra $75-100/month in disposable income...oh wait, baby's crying...now where was I?

spend it on video games

Reading CBRs at work helps deal with this.

Turns out I also read Chew #1, which I enjoyed a little, but not enough to buy #2.

I've been reading Marvel Treasury Editions (Kirby 2001 FTW). And BATMAN AND ROBIN, though haven't hit #2 yet.

Actually been stuck in research mode, so not a lot of time for reading period.

whatcha researchin'? Frankenstein??? (tho Morrison recently-ish covered similar territory, I still think old west Frankenstein would be fun)

Some STRANGEWAYS stuff, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. Stuff for another possible writing gig, actually.

Funny, but Cowboys vs Frankenstein about covers the fourth Strangeways book, assuming it ever comes out.

Happy belated Canada day, BTW.

Thank you, I celebrated by watching my collection of unread Captain America issues grow. Happy Independence Day!
