newnumber6This week I got one book:
Runaways #3 (okay, though not as good as last issue and I'm not sure certain elements of the plot work for me)
Full reviews as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
Also picked up at the used bookstore: "A For Anything" by Damon Knight.
Work was okay, not bad a load and earlyish. Also got home earlier because I've decided that work is sufficiently late enough consistently enough that I can afford to go for comics before work instead of going after.
Terminator was pretty good this week, and apparently it's been renewed for the full season, which is good news, as I was worried for a while. I still suspect it won't make it to _next_ season, but a confirmed 22 episodes is still good news by my ear. Heroes was... well, it wasn't as bad as it has been recently. I still think they made some awful choices this year, but it's _almost_ looking like they _might_ be able to eventually pull themselves out of it and explain some of the earlier crackheadedness in a not-completely WTFery way. But I'm not holding my breath.
Oh, and someone on my flist already mentioned this, but since I just saw it for myself, much love from this exchange from Corner Gas:
Lacey: Sorry, I guess it'll be one of life's great mysteries, like "Who would win between Spider-Man and..." (trails off)
Davis: ... Sasquatch.
Lacey: Okay, Sasquatch.
Brent: First of all, are you talking about Spider-Man fighting any old Sasquatch, or Sasquatch from Alpha Flight? Two completely different scenarios.
I'm so glad they got an Alpha Flight reference in, considering it's Canadian and the main character reads comics.
