This week I got:
Birds of Prey #76 (fairly good, though rushes a bit)
Cable & Deadpool #9 (Surprisingly good, actually, and my Pick of the Week)
Ex Machina #6 (fairly good)
Madrox #3 (continues to be a fun miniseries)
Robin #132 (disappointing, and don't like the art.. still sore about Spoiler)
Spider-Man: India #1 (Spider-Man if he was created in India... story familiar, but kind of interesting with the Indian culture stuff)
Teen Titans #18 (better than the last one)
Ultimate X-Men #53 (great fun as always..)
Witchblade #80 (I got it free, but it didn't hook me at all)
X-Men #164 (Yay, no more Austen after this!)

Full reviews, of course, at The Unreachable Star.

Oh, also on the forums, I posted a review of Swan Songs: The Complete Hooded Swan Collection, by Brian Stableford, here.

I also had a gyro for lunch.

Found you via a Firefly website.

Ever tried "Fables?"
Bill Willingham's comic.

Fairy tales, sort of, but better, and of course, for the older audience.

I've of course heard of it, but have never tried it. It's on my list of 'maybe one day try in TPB form' stuff. I keep hearing it's good, but for some reason when I hear the concept my mind just goes, 'Ehh' and I can't work up any interest in it. So, I might get it as a trade at some point.

Nice to hear from you though, even if it's a random drive-by thing. :) Took a quick glance at your own journal (hope you don't mind). See you're also a fan of some of the same SF... nice to see the 'Enemy's gate is down' quote on someone else. ;) And of course that you're a fan of the old west. Out of curiosity, ever read the Dark Tower series, by Stephen King? I just started it now. It's sort of a sci-fi/fantasy by way of the Old West. And the only place outside of Firefly that I've heard the word 'palaver'. ;)

Not minding on the glancing thing, and yes, I'm an Enderphile. Have been for years, it seems... Even got my husband onto them, which reminds me, he's big into comics as well, so I'll have to send him the link to your site with the comments on the comics you get!

But Fables is worth it, but I may be biased...

I've tried the Dark Tower and may have to go back again. Weird reading for a 13-year-old, which was when I first tried to read it.
