thebitterguyThis entry on Progressive Ruin is really neat. They used some promotional rings (and big props to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papajoemambo for one of those beauts) to recreate (in the most generous use of the term possible) a classic cover from Green Lantern’s Emerald Twilight.
I didn’t know there was a new GLC comic book. I’ll have to pick it up. I wonder if you can get a bike shirt that looks like a Green Lantern’s . That would be neat.
Did a quick comics run yesterday before game. Got the new Astonishing X-Men, which was so very, very good. Emma Frost finally makes her heel turn, and some characters I’ve never heard of (Negasonic Teenage Warhead? Perfection?) have joined the Hellfire club, which is totally messing up the dress code.
Wolverine regresses to poncehood ("I’m the best at what I do. And what I do… is so terribly pretty!"). I’m half tempted to watch that horrible Buffy episode where everyone loses their memory.
The final panel is, really, one of those things that you either love, or it’s final proof you’ve lost your ability to enjoy life and are a poor, sad, shell of a human being.
All-Star Superman continues to be awesome. Just awesome. Big fat bags of Awesome thrown up into the air and coming down as popcorn. Caramel popcorn, floating down like snowflakes. Whee! It makes me so very happy.
Also got 52 #7. Why is it that this book is so very much better than Infinite Crisis? I mean, IC had some great FY! moments (Superman Vs Superman on Earth 2, the breaking of the wall), but other than that had big chunks of crap that literally flew off the page onto your face.
Eternals #1 was not the religious experience it should have been. I’m also too many years away from OHOTMU issues that explained who they were to have any recollection. The Celestials remain cool. I do recall the Deviants giving GWB refuge during Kang’s invasion of Earth.
A light week, but I put some books back in order to escape womanly wrath. Which didn’t work, but that’s hardly surprising.
Man, you know, I put together a putative comics blog. I should really use some of this stuff for that.

It was a great moment.
