Good Day (Which is also the title of a very underrated Click Five song)

Yes, I listen to the Click Five. I liked them better with original lead-singer Eric Dill though. Yes, I went out of my way to find out the guy's name. He's kinda good-looking and I really dig his voice.

Shush you, I am not gay.

Moving on....

Something happened early in the day that I thought was very cool. Yay.

FINALLY got my books. As usual, they all kicked ass. Bummed that my shop didn't have The Avengers FCBD issue though. Damn it. Also, I have to say, Bendis and Deodato's Dark Avengers? That's a pretty good book right there. Very good. New Avengers, I still love. The other usual suspects, Nova, Guardians, Captain Britain, all stand out books. Make Mine Marvel!

A very delicious dinner.

And, as of now, like right now, that's it. Haha. And those things make today a good day. Yehey! Haha.

Also, it took a while, but my current playlist? I LOVE IT. Haha. Some of the tracks on it:

Amazing - Kanye West
Come Back to Me - David Cook
White Horse - Taylor Swift
Don't Stop Believing - Journey, Flight 409, Plans to Leave (Yes, that's the same song, times 3, by 3 different artists haha Blame Glee)
A buncha stuff by Brighten: Ready When You Are, Love Me Honestly, Easy To Fall In Love,
My Humps and Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas (I LOVE MY HUMPS)

And of course, the REAL American Idol, Matt Giraud and his version of You Found Me. I LOVE THIS SONG. His version is AMAZING. SWEAR. Haha.

Anyway (Hey would you look at that! I've started 6 paragrahps (or well, "paragraphs") with the letter 'A.' I'm a real A-Boy. Hahahahaha.), moving on! Yun nga. Good day. Thank you.

On Comicbooks...

On Dark Avengers...

Solid art. I've always been a fan of Mike Deodato. Even if I understand some of the criticisms and complaints about the book (that it's a rip off of Busiek's Thunderbolts, generic Bendis-bashing, etc.), I have to say, I really like it. Something about the way Bendis is writing Norman...I mean, I really like this version of Gobby. And I kinda like the dynamic between these so-called Avengers. It's interesting, what can I tell ya.

On Guardians of the Galaxy...

I thought I wouldn't enjoy the two issues focusing on just Phyla, Drax and Moondragon. But I did. I thought I'd miss the team and I did. But I was okay with it. Art's been subpar since Pelletier left but Wes Craig did an OK job on his arc. The writing was great, especially in issue 12, the banter between Maelstrom, Wendell and Drax. Can't wait for the WoK tie-ins! They've got like 12 team members now! Peter, Jack, Rocket, Groot, Bug, Mantis, Vance, Adam, Phyla, Gamora, Heather and Drax. Boy that's a strong group. Send them to Earth and you've got enough power (Adam, Phyla, Heather), bruisers (Drax, Groot, Gamora) and wild cards (Rocket, Mantis) to take on anybody.

On Nova...

Richard Rider, protector of the universe. It says something that this is the only comic I'm picking up ('sides Ultimate Spider-Man) focusing on a single hero. I love Nova and now that Andrea di Vito's on it, I don't think I'm dropping this book anytime soon.

On New Avengers...

I really need Luke to cut loose. Like really cut loose and kick ass. I know he does this on the regular, but I really would like to see a Luke Cage Avengers moment. Like, when we solidify his place as an Avenger, the moment where he does something worthy of the Avengers name. C'mon Luke! Also, can we get Stuart Immonen on the book already? I don't like Bachalo's style and Billy Tan is too scratchy.

On Captain Britain and MI13...

DRACU-FRAKKIN'-LA! Say no more! The baddies are here and it's going to take a helluva an effort to get them out of Britain and I'm sure reading about it is going to be something. Paul Cornell is a genius.

Randomness 2

- San Miguel just lost. Boo. That means I'm cheering for Alaska the rest of the way!

- Have I mentioned lately how much I am love Danny Granger? Yes? Hoo-boy that Danger Granger. I'd even take him over LeBron. Haha.

- Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, I hafta say, not a bad movie. Not bad at all. Rhona Mitra is no Kate Beckinsale but she is not hard to look at either.

- I am now Casey Carlson's number 1 fan. If you get to read this Miss Casey, I totally support you. I can't vote for you, since I don't live in the US but know that I'll be promoting you like crazy here in the Philippines.

Casey Carlson is your American Idol!

- Picked up Dark Avengers and Mighty Avengers over the weekend. Great stuff going on there. If Bendis can keep it up, this series is gonna be great. The line-up over there in Mighty, I'll have to get used to that. Pym is great. Young Avenger Vision and Hercules are great too. If they really can keep the Hulk, Iron Man and Scarlet Witch on the team, then that'll be nice. The rest of the team, Jocasta, US Agent, Stature, not so sure about them. Green Lantern Corps was solid mostly because Kyle was so bad ass in that one. Green Lantern was kinda meh for me. Hal turning into the rainbow lantern would be very goofy. Oh and Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Britain and the MI 13 were awesome as well. Can't wait for Dracula and Doom, Rocket Racoon versus Blastaar.

That's all for now. Later!

Secret Warriors and Dark Avengers are both $3.99

Well that kinda sucks. Almost all the new titles are $3.99. This is very bad.

My pull-list will have to be culled. I have already decided to drop Invincible Iron Man and Buffy Season 8. I do not know what to drop if something else catches my eye.

Sorry Matt Fraction, Salvador Larroca, Joss Whedon, Jo Chen, Georges Jeanty and all the other good people who work on those books. It's nothing personal. Until I can get an extra source of cash, I'm gonna have to keep expenses at a minimum. And you know this was hard for me to do since Tony was already interesting and Dark Reign seems to promise some new thrills for the character. And you know I love you Joss Whedon. Argh. I will come back if Buffy and Xander FINALLY get together though. Haha.

Hopefully these Bendis books are worth it. I am counting on you baldy!

Very Excited

Brian Bendis you slay me. I am now very excited for Post-Secret Invasion Marvel. Secret Warriors was announced a while back and that already had me excited. But a new Avengers book? Dark Avengers? With Mike Deodato on art? I am there! A new writer on Mighty Avengers? Color me interested! And "Dark Reign?" Hell yeah! Plus Mark Millar returns to the Ultimate Universe with Ultime Avengers? Hay, I'll need to save up on cash. Looks like I need to adjust my pull-list soon.
