New Comic Day!
Jun. 22nd, 2011 06:43 pmRare thing these days, but then I'm down to two books, and they both came out at once (and one's a miniseries... once it's over, I will be on my DC boycott).
So, I got...
New Mutants #26 (enjoyable, but nothing spectacular)
Gates of Gotham #2 of 5 (a few good scenes with characters I like, otherwise still a bit iffy, but it's in the setup stage)
At the used bookstore, I picked up: Cosmonaut Keep, by Ken Macleod, and Helm, by Stephen Gould (author of Jumper).
And... I did it. I missed it last time they had it, but they brought it back, so I decided I'd do it, just to say I did.
I bought and ate a KFC Double-Down.
It was certainly tasty enough, but all in all, not really worth it, either in terms of cost (for the same price of the single sandwich I could get an amazing gyro and probably some onion rings on the side), or in terms of the damage to my heart and arteries I would almost certainly do if I ate it on a regular basis. But nice to try just the once.
