New Comic Day

[newnumber6]

This week I got three books:

Ultimate X-Men #94 (a bit of a continuity mess, and it's my last issue of the book)
X-Factor #31 (solid for what it is, my Pick of the Week)
X-Men: Divided We Stand #2 (not even as good as the first one, one decent story in it)

Full reviews as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.

I also picked up at the used bookstore:
The Sky People, by S.M. Stirling,
and
A Princess of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs (figured it was about time I read the Mars books)

Work was okay, happened to get there really early and so all was done pretty quickly.

I have temporarily completed one of my life goals, but more details on that will wait for my next edition of Book Foo, which will not be right now.

So, did Ultimate Pyro appear? Wondering if I should bother going to the shop in this lousy weather...

Not that I could see, unless he was background somewhere and considering there was a new fire-person there (Ultimate Firestar) my guess is the new writer had no idea he was supposed to be. (A lot of the lesser known characters at the end of #93 seemed to be completely absent too)

Oy, sounds delightful. Well, thanks for letting me know!
