Yup. The funeral issue was even harder to take. It was, predictably enough, Wolverine that put me over the edge.

X-Force #26
Yes, in fact, during a time in my life when my blog posts are few and far between, I’m blogging about one issue of one comic book. It’s kind of had an impact on me. This will be spoilery, so the rest is behind the cut.
Star Trek and Wolverine
We saw both of these in the last few days, and now that I’ve had time to digest them… Star Trek had one particularly huge plot hole in it (which I would have to be spoilery to explain). It bothered me that they shoehorned Pavel Chekhov into the cast, even though he ought to have [...]
Watching the Watchmen
It take something pretty special to get me into a movie theater for opening weekend. Watchmen was in that category years ago. I knew the first time I read the book that if it ever made it to the screen, I’d be right there. And when it kept not happening, I was repeatedly saddened. This [...]
The Golden Army
Saw Hellboy II yesterday. I’m always ready for a sequel to be a lesser movie than the original, but this one was a pleasant surprise. Fun and cheesy.

Barbie Goes S&M?

Awesome
That’s the first adjective that comes into my head when I try to describe Iron Man. It’s just, well, awesome. The casting. The acting. The special effects. Especially the suit. Gods, the suit is just stunning. And the candy at the very end is well worth sitting through the interminable credits.
Pinch Me
Not only does it seem like the Watchmen movie is actually happening after all these years, but it looks like the studio may really know what they’re doing. Go. Look. Squee.
If It's Sunday, This Must Be Philadelphia
My mother is spoiling the cat rotten. My inlaws are doing the same for the dog. And here we are, my husband and I, in the City of Brotherly Love. We came in late yesterday morning, and hung out at Wizard World for the day. Andy won some cool swag in Are You Smarter Than [...]
More Indulgences
So, these last couple of weeks are beginning to make me feel a little bit spoiled. I have tickets to two upcoming concerts: Great Big Sea in April and the Police in July. The Black Parade is still new enough that I don’t know all the lyrics yet (I will learn them, because they are [...]
