Yeah, I love Fat Man on Batman. Just listened to the latest 2 with Kyle Higgins and his favorite Bat stories. It's just a great listen.

Just recently finished 'Avengers Vol. 1 - Avengers World' and 'Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Vol. 1.' The Avengers was pretty good but doesn't grab me like the previous series did. Also it has a lot of characters that I didn't know. Not sure if they were new or just unknown to me.
Green Lantern Corps reprints issue #1 and others from issues back in the 80's. Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, cries at the end of one story when he's receiving accolades on a job well done. WHAT! Is he crying, is he crying! There's no superhero crying in comics! At least that I remember.
I also read a mini-series called 'Damage Control'. It was 4 parts and was released back in the early 90's. It's a place that fixes and cleans up after superhero fights. They even had contracts with people like Reed Richards. It's supposed to be a comedy book. Not to bad.
Currently reading Vol. 1 of A + X.

Re-reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman for a review I'm doing on Anomaly. Also reading Enders Game for the same reason. I LOVE The Graveyard Book btw. Highly recommended.

Graveyard Book is so good. Also just read recently Anansi Bots by Gaiman. Pretty weird. Enders Gane is a classic, can't wait for the film.

I am deep into "Crucible", the new STAR WARS novel. Very excited for "Kenobi" when it is released.

Issue three of this is out now. Cool series!

My wife is picking that BSG for me tomorrow, as the only comic shop is near her office 45 minutes away. Love that cover.

you just got to love the artwork there.

That is a great cover!

WillEagle · August 19, 2013, 06:45:58 AM

I agree that is a very cool cover.
Finished A+X a few days ago and enjoyed it. Seems to be more humor than most books which may very well be the point of the series. Catching up on some of my comics and reading the 2nd story in the Star Trek - Myriad Universes - Shattered Light book called 'The Tears of Eridanus' which features Sulu and his daughter.
Next up is the second Aquaman graphic novel from the new 52.

I saw the Battlestar Galactica Comics at the Comic Book Shop, I think I might have to circle back and pick these up.

WillEagle · August 30, 2013, 06:12:51 AM

Just finished Aquaman Vol. 2 - The Others. I liked it but not as much as Vol. 1. Didn't know about "the Others" at all. Does anyone know if these were new characters?

Almost finishing reading Year Zero by Rob Reid. It's a very funny book about aliens, music, and copyright laws. I recommend this to anyone who likes music, sci-fi, or just wants a good laugh.

Just finished "What Dreams May Come" by Richard Matheson, the author of "I Am Legend" and the classic TOS episode "The Enemy Within". I enjoyed the movie with Robin Williams but had never read the book. It was really good! A quick read, a very moving tale of love between two soulmates, and a fascinating take on life after death. Recommended!
