I picked up the Loki comic today. The shop was a little uncomfortable in an overly friendly sort of way (three employees all helping just me, one joking and doing voices and such). The comic came out yesterday and had already sold out, but they sold me a copy saved for someone's monthly mail order (thus they had time to replace it).

I really, really liked the story and the art was spiffy, but $3 for something I read in minutes was unreasonabilly priced. I will buy future ones because I want to support Loki things, but I'm not happy about the price.

The shop included a bunch of preview book thingies. It shouldn't surprise me how many Avengers-world comics there are. I'm going to poke around for some online. Speaking of, I need to see if there's an online subscription or something for the Loki series -- I don't really want a physical copy floating around. iPad doesn't like the Marvel site though, so next time I'm on the computer.

Darned LJ, I wanted to post last night and the site was so down that the domain name didn't even seem to exist.

Oh well! Two related, non-health things:

Oh darned WIP fics! [livejournal.com profile] avocado_love wrote two Avengers fics and they're both WIP and they're both eating my brain because they're so good and I want to know MORE MORE MORE but there's no more to read yet.

That did get me back into fic-reading though -- I just wish I could find something as good.

Speaking of reading, I'm never going to hit 50 books this year. I haven't even started the second one for the year yet! Blah. My mother is flying home on Sunday, then I'll have reading time/privacy?/space/mindset back.

Speaking of reading and Avengers: there's a Loki comic book! And based on the reviews it looks good! I need to get my hands on a copy. I've not been in a comic book store in ages, should be a fun visit.

I had to google to see if it was hodge-podge, hodgepodge, or hodge podge, which ironically relates to this post!



Rock, Paper, Cynic comic strip is a little hit and miss, but when it's a hit, it amuses me greatly.

ExpandMore of my favorite ones back here! Some of them with stories from my life~ )
PS: In the UK, it's hodgepodge, in the US it's hodge-podge.

MASH is going to be an... interesting... show to watch. It's very, very dated in a not-PC sort of way. I watched the first ep (25 minutes long) and in that time they called a black person a spear-chucker, assaulted an officer/drugged him, and probably 15 of those 25 minutes was one male character kissing, groping, and generally touching some woman who kept saying 'no' every time. (And the laugh track is awful!) I know all this was fine at the time the show was made, so I'm not finger-shaking at them, but it's really, really jarring to see now.

One of the things about Teen Wolf being shown on MTV is that there's tons of music in each ep. I discovered this song through it. So dark and sad and good.

The new Thunder Cats remake? Darned good! I've only seen the first ep, but I was really impressed. Great animation, wonderful voices, really great story. I'm very much looking forward to seeing more eps. It's anime-like, sort of. Really good stuff.

The GI Joe animated cartoon series (not movie) remake was really good, too. Unfortunately that got canceled. Hopefully Thunder Cats will have a longer run.

This is the funniest comic strip I've seen in a long time. The spreadsheet panel made me laugh the most, but I snickered through the whole thing. Might not be as funny if you don't work in an office.

Does LJ time out for everyone when you try to spellcheck? Been happening to me for a couple days now. I suppose I should be happy that the site is up at all, but I do like spellchecking.
