Well, i have made a lot of progress on my Milestone collecting i mentioned i was starting back in January. I have made substantial gains in Icon, Hardware, and Blood Syndicate, unfortunately not much progress in way of Static; the book that started it all. I just finished getting all 50 issues of Hardware last Sunday and that is pretty exciting. I have read the first 4 issues and its pretty interesting so far. I have less than 15 issues of left to get for both Blood Syndicate and Icon, and way less for Shadow Cabinet and Static. I lucked out and was able to get these books for free, just had to sort comics for a few Saturdays a few hours at a time. (suckers)
Since I last posted I have read Superior by Mark Millar out through Marvel's Icon line. I had got the first issue when it came out cause it was new and i needed something new. That first issue was meh (not bad not good), but I got the next few issue later during a lite week and they were pretty cool. Issue four leaves me wanting to know more, and I'm a sucker for weird cliff hangers. If i had to describe the book I would say it is Tom Hank's Big meets Shazam; kid is given powers by an unknown force (space monkey) but cannot turn back and has to live with his friend while playing superhero and tyring to let his parents know he is ok. Sound like a meh concept but Millar seems to know were he is going and I'm really digging the art by Leinil Francis Yu. I think I like this series and it could catch on because it doesn't have the normal continuity baggage a lot of comics have today.Some subject I think I'm going to try and speak on in the future will be, my thought on why we need the actual comic retailers, what i think the future of comics will look like, how are new comic fan made, how has the image of comics and there readers changed over the years, and where is the Black Panther movie.
