Hey, a new thread
 

I will just never get over this scatter-shot, Covid induced "games played" schedule. Some teams have played 10 games while some have barely played more than 5. Heck, in the Central alone there are three teams with 10 games, one with 9, one with 7 and three more with 6 freakin' games played.

Crazy 

New shortened season this year.  Stars are off to a good start.  Swept their first 4 games at home.  Lost their first two on the road although one of them was in the 2nd overtime/shootout and came down to the last shot.

Also really strange to only be playing teams in your division.  But it's a weird year.

Here's the standings as of 2/1/2021

RAFLMAO.  I didn't even notice.  Yes, I will start a new one for this season.   

Well hey, even though my Islanders are down ... waaaay down in the division/conference ... no reason why we have to use an old 2019/2020 HNL thread is there?

--------------------------------------------

I got through these over the weekend.  Doubtful I’ll finish this whole list by Wednesday so this may turn into my two or three week list.

That Texas Blood #6 - Fitting end to this story.  Not at Criminal level for storytelling but that’s a high bar.  Still a decent enough story.

Undiscovered Country #10 & 11 - Another zone flushed out and man how this “utopia” came at a dark cost.

The Witcher: Fading Memories #1 & 2 - A good start to the latest in this series.

X-O Manowar #3 - I think this was the last of my pre-orders and I’m glad.  Not enjoying this at all.

X-Ray Robot #4 - A quick wrap up to this mini.  I liked the idea of this more than the execution of it.  Not bad but not a must read.

see, what you don't know, or don't remember...is that I read my MOM's comics from the late 50s early 60s of Girlfriend Lois Lane and Pal Jimmy Olson.

That's right, my mom read Superman comics as a kid. Got all those titles, Action, Superman, and World's Finest too. Liked Justice League because it had all the heroes in one spot too.

Do more things about me make more sense? 

Totally get that and I felt (somewhat) the same. Just that every writer has to take a turn at Tony's psychoses 



Cool. I think Jeff CAN enjoy it, not sure he WILL, but I think with your love of Supes and some of the late Golden early Silver Age Supes/Jimmy stories you will find the 60's style heartwarming in some manner.
It really blew me away, but I am the pulp guy, so yeah ... I was going to like the old world story/feel to it.

I mean, stuff like this ... a direct story in the Fraction Maxi ... is what made me love the damn thing 

Batman 56-60, Secret Files, Annual 3: I feel like Tom King has really hit a great stride here. Really enjoying all the reading of this, and really want to get into the next one. Why so much Batman?

Flash: Annual 2, Flash 64 which ties into Batman 65, so I'm trying to get them all caught up concurrently!!

Also, DC has all these He-man  minis from over the years....so I've added those to my "reading" lists.

And Perry? I added the Leviathan tie-in for the Jimmy Olsen stuff....and I'll sit down and read through all of it pretty soon! Once I get Flash and Batman caught up to each other!!

I forgot Maestro 3 (still love anything PAD Hulk, and it doesn't disappoint

GOTG 7-I like the 'mistaken murderer' angle of all this. Poor Marvel boy for the situations he finds himself in!

Fantastic Four 25-I wanted to see the new suits. Nothing to keep reading as far as I'm concerned

Iron Man 2 - still okay to read. I'm glad for it...but maybe a bit too much psychoanalysis talking? I"m not sure. I was maybe in a mood when  I read it and it didn't land the most positive way it could for me
