Brand New Day

I'll just skip the intros and get into the meat. I have no direction, no agenda, justa series of random stream of thought posts.

So I'm underway, i's boring as always. Catching up with some of my reading. Read First Born tpb, the Witchblade/Darkness event from last year.


Beautifully painted and pretty compelling. I cant say I'm a fan of the Danielle Baptiste Witchblade, a young blonde college student hardly makes a compelling protagonist, however the single mom cop is very interesting. Balancing motherhood, the job, and the Witchblade thing is very very interesting, I'll be sure to look out.

Read the Premiere edition Iron Man: Demon in a Bottle hardcover too.


I'm not a big fan of the pre-Civil War Tony Stark, and I dont think I have actually ever read all of these issues, so it was a lot of new material. I;ve read the seminal issue and a couple of these others. I have to say though. It's pretty hokey. I'm sure it was powerful at one time, but he goes from playboy to raging alkie in .25 seconds. But it was a definig point in comics so I respect it. I also wish comics were as subtle as some of these, nowadayys there would be a DEMON IN A BOTTLE PT 4 of 8!! plastered everywhere.

Got around to reading Spiderman Back in Black and One More Day Harcovers too

An wow. Polar Opposite feeling here. Back in Black I feel is phenomenal. While I understand it was a marketing tie-in in many ways to last year's Spiderman 3, it was still very compelling and charged. I loved the desperation, the feeling that he has finally gone too far, and One More Day had echoes of this too. But man, that ending, I dont think I need to state how that went.
