Yea, I saw it, I saw the Matrix Reloaded. Insanity purified. So..lemme get this straight....!!SPOILER ALERT!! Keanu Reeves is now: Superman,and Obi Wan Kenobi???!! Nuts!! How can they not make a Superman movie now?! He fucking flew!! And it damn looked amazing!!!!! And Carrie Ann Moss can friggin drive! Holy shit Good ass fucking flick. If you do see it,stay for the end of the credits...all 10 minutes of em...they seriously list everyone and everything in it.They have about 2 minutes devoted to the medical team, 1 minute for the catering team, hell I was probably in it. Good movie. I can see how it was made = Warner Brothers(to the Wazchowski brothers): "Here's 4 billion dollars, go make a movie."

Also, is it now not mid May?!?! Why is it 40 Degrees outside?!!?

Sleep now..

It's Here! It's Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think we should call the people who died on September 11th heroes.I remember hearing a quote somewhere that said "Heroes get remembered,but legends never die." That's why I think everyone who gave their life on the 1th should be remembered as legends.Just thought I'd get that out.

This is just creepy.....

Yes, I have indeed seen the previews and advance solicitations for both "Titans/Young Justice:Graduation Day" and "Teen Titans". The first,"Titans/Young Justice: Graduation day"(lets just call it: TT/YJ:GD) has mostly good art. Done by Ale` Garcia I believe. Story is quick and jumpy, overall iffy, but not terrible.

TT, however...is crap on paper .I'm not just saying that cause it's not YJ. This. Is. Bad. The story is not up to par with Geoff Johns usual work,and the art is something out of a...well..it's indescribable how horrid it is. Mckone did a damn good job on the Supes relaunch a few years back, but it seems as he just does not care anymore. Robin looks like a fairy... He made my favorite character look like a damn fairy. And Superboy looks like a high school jock. Trust me on this.It is not good. Read at your own risk, buy if you have a lot of money to burn.

DC really dropped the ball on this one. YJ was doing well and making it self a good niche. At least some of the Superman books are getting good again. I love McDaniel's work,still not used to him on a bright book like this though, not that i'm complaining .Just used to the darkness of the Bat books. Also!!: MAY 19TH AT JIM HANLEY'S UNIVERSE ON 4 W.33RD STREET ACROSS FROM THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING JIM LEE WILL BE SIGNING ALONG WITH JOE KELLY,JIMMY PALMIOTTI AND KILLIAN PLUNKET FROM 7PM-9PM!! DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS,SKETCHES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED!!

The Weather Channel rocks man. I love the fact that the site has a 100 mile Doppler radar, I love the fact that the Weather girls are hot, I love the weather channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also...Aside from Action Comics 803 having Superman wear an American flag as a cape, which I liked....the issue made no sense to me..maybe i'm slipping in my old age..

And...I had Chilli's for the first time last night...what the heck do they put in that stuff? It's good but...well...to put it lightly, you'll feel it later..

Finally..."Wash it. Gas it. Gimme the keys." -David Letterman's attempt at a new catchphrase.

"It wasn't meant as a name,it was meant as a warning to everyone else." -Batman on How Impulse got his name

Green Lantern:"Batman scares me.." Flash:"You should hear his Joker stories."

"This is the guy who said he can't live up to his own myth....he's fighting an angel.."-Flash on Superman

"The most dangerous man in the universe." -Superman on Batman

Saw X-men 2(yea its a Marvel movie and i saw it, big deal.). Wasn't too bad, Cool to see Phoenix and all the cameos. Also "celebrated" free comic book day. Joy. Everyone who reads this (all 1 of you) should know and pass along that Batman artist Jim Lee will be doing an in store signing at our store from 7-9pm on May 19th. Stores at 4 W.33rd st, which is right across the street from that big ass thing known as the Empire State Building. 

Ok,I'm gonna have to give it to Jessica Lynch here.She took bullets in the legs,and arm,broke both legs and her arm and was fightin with all her fellow soliders dying around her.That's fucking one tough girl.

So...tired...why must world hate me...why.....

I'm watching the blooper reel for episode 2 and freakin Hayden Christensen can't stand up straight hlaf the time! It's almost like hes a drunken Jedi!!

Is there something about gravity on the big tracks that Ryan Newman can't comprehend? Yuor suppsoed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground at all times!

Yea..it's April..and it's snowing again...this is really getting repetitively annoying...damn friggin cold frozen snow...Stupid winter.

Some guy came in the store today and bitched that he didn't get a discount that he wanted.Y'see, he claims he was in the Army, so apparently he thinks hes entitled to a discount. Boss Lady Katie and Larry showed him. Score one for the geek squad!!

Fucking daylight savings time! Why can't it stay 2:30 am?! Pizzlefuck!

Lessee....Work..is OK. Apparently were hiring an intern. Insert Lewinsky joke here. I work with 2 fat mangers, 1 small manager, 1 egotistical manger, one hairy manager and one quiet psycho one. I swear,the store is a reality TV show waiting to happen. There are no normal people that work in this store, which is a good thing. Between the one "evil" girl and the guy who hangs out there as much as I used to, i'm sure FOX or MTV will want to pick this up real soon.

TV...good...SNL,however isn't as funny for some reason, with of course the exception of Weekend Update. Third Watch showed a promo for the rest of the season, and there was a voice over that said "One of their own won't be coming back" which bugs and bums me out. If it's Carlos I won't be as upset, but my gut tells me it's gonna be Jimmy.

You should all go to my college too. You can enjoy the wonders of the, "Aching ass chairs" and the "Grease, with Chicken on the side". Perhaps you'd like to play a game of "Find a light source on campus after dark."

Yea, by the way...DC is cancelling another book...this time it's Power Company, which aside from Tom Grummet's amazing pencils, is not that great a book..

Also...when at work yesterday,there was a printed email from John Byrne on the counter. Byrne is pissed that his book, "Lab Rats" didn't sell. He blames comic stores for not pushing the book, and compares us to car salespeople, basically saying that comics are like cars and employees of the store like car salespeople.We are comic shop employees. We sell comics John, I see no similarity between us and car salespeople. It's not our fault that you put out crap, it's not our fault that people pick it up and vomit. People ask us what's hot and selling,we tell them what's hot and selling. People ask us what we like, and we tell them what we like. How does it help us if we recommend a book we don't like and then someone comes back and returns it? Half the time,the customers pick what they like and don't even listen to our opinions, which is good - it's their money. There is a guy who comes in to the store every week and buys anything having to do with Wolverine. I joke with him and tell him, "Wolverine is lame and sucky",and that doesn't stop him. People told me Young Justice was crap, I ignored them and kept buying.

So Byrne should be blaming himself for producing crap, not us.I was looking at some of his Wonder Woman covers when I was filing back issues,and on some of them, I can't tell if it's Wonder Woman or Dee Snider with black hair,. Byrne needs to quit his bitching and find a better line of work, perhaps as a car salesman..

Celine Dion on Chrysler commercials makes me wanna get a Chrysler and crash it into her house.sure it may sound mean,but you damn well know you wanna do it.

So I was watching a "Birds of Prey" [BoP] episode that I downloaded today, the last one in fact, and i'm realizing how...important each of the supporting characters are in the whole batman family, hell the whole comic family, which makes me realize even more how insanely moronic it was to cancel these titles, and change the characters so drastically.

Alfred has been, slipping more lately. This probably means they will either kill him off or send him into the abyss. A small example of this is what they did with Commissioner Gordon. He and Alfred are some of the most important, underrated characters in all of comics. Alfred is the father figure in Bruce's life, not just the butler. Alfred has gone into the field for Bruce countless times, he has been the moral compass in the story, and it would be a shame to let him go.

The same goes for Gordon. He has been reduced to a second tier cameo character of late. A few years ago Gordon was all but leading Gotham City during "No Man's Land" and now he's all but alone in the back garden of his home. It's a sad waste. Gordon is the human side to the story and he needs to be brought back into the spotlight. Both he and Batman share a special kind of friendship(notably seen in the last part of the animated series episode "Holiday Knights") that needs to be shown more.

Also I look at Spoiler, who is mainly seen in Robin. Aside from being a personal favorite of mine, Spoiler showcases a bit of an Irony, I think. Who would of thought the sidekick would get his own sidekick? A lot of people show a great disdain for her, which I don't understand .People fear she will become the next Robin or Batgirl. That won't happen, I think, though it wouldn't be terrible. A new Batgirl has been created in Cassandra, and is well liked. They wouldn't mess with that.

Obviously I don't feel this way about all the supporting characters. Azazel,for example is a character who was flawed from the start. Why he was given as much attention as he had is beyond me. Another underrated Bat family member is Dr.Leslie Tompkins, whom, aside from being the family physician,also serves as the mother figure in the family. She may in fact have the same amount of emotional integrity, if not more then Alfred.

When people see Batman's supporting cast,firstly they see Robin, Nightwing, Oracle and Batgirl. They have grown into more then a supporting cast .People do realize that now, but for some reason, they fail to look into the characters I mentioned. So to anyone reading this, look deeper, You might find yourself surprised.

Will it ever happen?

Well, Coming in a lil late on this one. Young Justice#55 came out Wednesday. And with it ends a comic that had probably one of if not the most devoted fanbases of any comic I've seen in ages.

The stories that Peter David created were among the best. Todd Nauck and Larry Stucker brought an art style unlike any other, and the fans loved it. The only reason DC has canned a book that sells as good as this is because of the damn cartoon that's coming out soon.

The entertainment companies are in too much control of the comic industry now. X-men is a prime example. If they hadn't worn the black leather in the movie they wouldn't be wearing it in the comics. They say that bright colors don't translate well on the big screen, claiming they, "don't look realistic." It's a fucking comic book!! It's not supposed to be real, its meant to give one a sense of wonder and amazement. People read them to escape for a while. If people wanted to see guys in black leather fighting in slo-mo they can watch the Matrix or a bondage movie.

It's great that they want to get new readers into the books,come on, friggin think of the original fans too dammit, we matter, but no, its always, "Screw the original fans, they don't spend enough money." Maybe it shouldn't always be about the bottom dollar. Ever think of that?
