With some of my Christmas money. The Wife's gonna be mad when she finds out how much I spent. But till then we can review what we got.Doktor Sleepless 8, 9 This book finally has a decent payoff. Ellis has said he's doing a long form novel but till now it felt like useless meandering in need of a point. Issue 8 gives us a point. An incredibly depressing and anti-life affirming point but still, it's a point. Issue 9 sets us off in another direction. I'm still buying this but my patience grows ... thin.
Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes 1 and 2. I don't know if any of you have read Ruins. It was essentially, Warren Ellis, making Very Bad Things happen to the Marvel heroes. It was gallows humor and very, very British. Essentially in the ruins world radiation did not turn people into super heroes. Instead, it acted like radiation and you know killed or mutated people horribly. The Ghost Boxes acts as a sequel to Ruins only with the X-Men. Ellis loves alternate universes, probably cause he can make Very Bad Things happen to all those characters you love.
Usagi Yojimbo 115 116, every issue of Usagi Yojimbo is an instant classic and if you are not buying this book you suck. Ummmm that is all.
Ex Machina 40, The writer and artist of ExMachina put themselves in the comic. Also, there are Dracula Werebears. Dracula Werebears people! Again this is must reading.
Punisher 62- 65 After finishing this story you come to the shocking realization that you have spent $12 for a Jigsaw story and Jigsaw didn't show up till the last issue. Also, it sucked. Hard.
Tomorrow, is Sean Penn day. See you then.
