New Comic Day + Work!

[newnumber6]

This week I got:

Cable & Deadpool #22 (reasonably fun)
Decimation: House of M The Day After (okay.. a bit scattershot, more of an ad for the other minis spinning out of the event)
Exiles #72 (Squeeee! New Universe! My favorite book of the week)
Gotham Central #37 (Pretty good action/character piece set in the middle of a catastrophe)
New Excalibur #1 (Entertaining enough, but I think it's mostly because of the guest stars)
New X-Men #20 (New creative team seems okay so far, some interesting choices made post HoM)
Teen Titans #29 (Decent fight, didn't much care about the rest of the issue).

Full reviews, as usual, are available for anyone interested at my comic review site.

For lunch, had a montreal smoked meat sandwich and a slice of Charity Subway pizza.

Work was okay, but raing so it was a bit of a pain. Looking more and more like I'll be taking on another day (Friday) but the time is still up in the air.

It actually makes sense for the Blob to be deformed, as he had been further mutated by artifical means. So the mutation goes away, but the "extra pounds," now useless, stay on.

Interesting theory, although a lot of mutants have been extra-mutated through artificial means at one point or another. I can't think of any off-hand who've been announced as depowered yet. Well, I can think of one, but we haven't actually _seen_ them yet to know whether this extra stuff is reversed or not.

When did this happen for Blob?

Around his Freedom Force days, although I cannot find any reference to it being artificial, and it's been years since I saw the Handbook entry.
