Yeah, I figured as much, but man, I really don't see what's so great about it.

Does anyone else find themselves just sort of indifferent to Quitley's art? I'm always hearing how great it's supposed to be, but it just doesn't do anything for me (except for his people, which are ugly).

The first con that I went to was last year's Denver Comic Con, which happened over Memorial Day weekend. I got to meet a lot of great creators. This year's happened in June and I didn't find the list of creators all that enticing, so I skipped it.

I didn't pick up any floppies this week (yet, I'll at least get Autumnlands, but I read the first Divinity trade, which I really liked, while also starting the first Planetes omnibus and continuing to make my way through The Puma Blues.

I just got the first Divinity trade - I'm glad to hear it's an interesting read.

I just spent eight years in Colorado for grad school, and I'll be moving to Northern Virginia in a couple of weeks. My parents moved out of my childhood home six years ago and now live in Bethel Township - I'm staying with them right now and am making sure to eat all of my favorite foods.

I know of at least three Royal Farms in Delco - the aforementioned one in Glenolden/Briarcliffe, one off 95 near the Boeing plant, and one on 202 in Aston.

I grew up in Glenolden! I've driven by that Royal Farms a few times now and my initial reactions were that 1) That section of MacDade is awful with only one lane and 2) Royal Farms isn't doing themselves any favors by advertising the sale of "sub rolls."

I actually just bought my first ever statue, the Wonder Woman: Art of War statue based on Chiang's art because I loved the design so much. It's based on the armor she wears before going to Hell and it's great.

…was that Space Cabbie in there?

Lazarus #23: More sword fighting! Not as great as issue 15, but still brutal. There were also some interesting Carlyle family revelations.

I was in a Books-A-Million that had $1 variant covers, so I picked up the first issues of Welcome to Showside and Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!, because why not? They were both charmingly fun - I'll probably seek out the trades through the library.

I just finished the whole "apply to tons of jobs" thing, and I found the whole thing soul crushing, despite the fact that I at least did hear back from many of them (even if they were just form letter rejections). Good luck.

I adore Honey and Clover, and I've read some Yazawa (mostly Paradise Kiss, but also some Nana). I'll give the other two a look, though I am at least somewhat familiar with Antique Bakery.

I actually really enjoy some shoujo and josei. I've been trying to convince myself that I don't need the Fruits Basket Collector's Editions that Yen Press is putting out since I have the entire Tokyopop run, but I may ultimately be unsuccessful.

I've read most, if not all, of Van Lente's A&A run, which I enjoyed. Quantum & Woody is one that I'm trying to get to - I've read the first, but none of the others.

Yeah, but I also couldn't find some of the ones that have been released in the US. I've read through Fairy Dance in the main series and the first volume or two of Progressive, but that's all I could find in the Colorado libraries.

I was kind of wary going into the third volume of Zero, as that seems to be the point where a lot of people feel it falls apart. I liked liked it, but I couldn't for the life of me remember how the second volume ended, so a lot of my enjoyment came from the art. It also helped that one issue was an extended fight…

I really liked the first volume of Orange and highly debated picking it and the second up as part of that Barnes and Noble sale, but I need to watch my spending this summer. I'll probably look into it during their next sale.

New Super-Man #1: I'm glad I bought this. While I didn't think this issue was great, I still really enjoyed it. I think the concept has a lot of potential and found myself liking Kong Keenan by the end of the story.
