Until Genis Vell returns. Go out and buy those issues. I am!

Yeah, I am kinda stoked about this. I couldn't find his debut in my long boxes. So I am scavenging this weekend at my LCS.

You already have it in the palm of your hands. Tablet and MU 

But there is just something about having...that Silver Surfer issue! I won't lie, I don't have his original appearance either! Some super fan I am!!

My reading time has been close to nil so far this week. Certainly not coming close to getting through my list. Funny how that truly does piss me off.
 
No more lists for me.
Yes, I am pouting and taking my toys home

***********************************

Timeless - This was a solid book. Still seems odd seeing that some of the "future" events Kang sees has already happened, I guess this title ran late or something? Regardless it was still a good read. I look forward to the Doom vs Kang mini that SHOULD be coming soon 

Flash - This issue from Johns was better than what I had read before of his Flash, so I am on for a few. I will say that this issue does have pronounced panels where the writer and the artist are not quite in sync, still learning each other's craft and how they will work together. That's fine, it is a great thing to see actually because I know this team does work well together in the not too distant future, so yeah, that was cool. A good read.

Jeez, over half the week gone and I have two freaking issues in the bag?

Yeah. I need to get back to this as well. Never gonna happen if I don't get my reading (lack of) under control 

I don't know, maybe it is just my mood, but I did mention a little bit ago about how I am spending a lot of money on comics again, compared to the "free" stuff I get from MU and DCI I mean, and with the way I read... do I need to buy more comics right now?. Hell I just spent about 25 bucks on more digital stuff about two weeks ago and it will probably take me months to F'n read those!!! Sure I want to read them, but couldn't I wait until I was up to date a little? NOOOO... I had to get it now?!?!?!
So yeah, maybe I slow down so I can, like I mentioned above, "bet back" to some of the older stuff I want to read or reread. Heck, if for nothing else, finish reading the damn issues I have already bought!!!! I have tons of Image books to read. Tons.
 
It's getting as bad as it used to be for me with comics. Buying (or downloading) just to possess. I need to get to the reading side of things, not just that "having" side.
 

And hell, I probably could have read an issue of something instead of typing all of this! See? Poor use of time is what it is

L.E.G.I.O.N. #4-6 - So '80's.  And I like it.  It takes longer to read but I'm enjoying the stories.  Not sure I'll read the whole series but so far so good.

Takes forever to read those damn thing 

Just think, we used to get almost 20-30 minutes of read time with those damn things and had to pay $1.50 for the good paper.
Now some comics are over in a matter of 120 seconds and they want us to pay almost four times the price

What a sucky "list" week

Going back to playing it by ear. Listing what I did read, not what I want to get to. I know it shouldn't matter, at all, but not completing this meaningless list bugs me
 
I hate things left unfinished. Even trivial little stuff like a comics list
