Broke and Back

Ok, ive been gone from the blogoshpere of the comic book realm for a while now and for good reason. I'm JOBLESS and BROKE, going on almost seven months now. I had saved enough money to continue my weekly Wednesday euphoria for the first three months of unemployment, with the hopes of returning to my old seasonal job, but the job screwed me and the money quickly dried up. Now as an individual who has been reading comic books for the 24 years of life i've spent on this planet and considering the massive amount of time I put into writing a thesis on the genre my senior year in college.

So, I came up with this bright idea that I should just go cold turkey off the (comic)junk until I get a job. Which means, no comic websites or blogs, cutting off The Penrod when he starts rambling about D.C., no more kick ass reviews and no more visiting my local comic book shop (sigh). Going to the shop to look at books would be a bigger tease than some of my ex girlfriends (Ba Zing!). But seriously folks, wiping comic books from, as it stands right now, my pathetic life truly is disappointing as Secret Invasion, The Death of Batman, X-Force, and the Hulk were growing in plot.

However, before I get out of here The Penrod did inform me that Mike Turner died from his long bout with cancer, my condolences to his family and fans, as we've truly lost one of the greats in the industry of comic books.

P.S.

My ban on comics doesn't reach to the cinema as I have already seen Iron Man (kick-ass) and the Hulk (still to unrealistic with the graphics, but a better story). Batman in July is next on the agenda for filling my fix, I'm freaking stoked for Heath's Joker.
