A Leaf On The Wind

This has been one of those weird weeks. It is yet another week where the mercury on the thermometer hasn’t crept much about 20. Because of that, birds have nested in the vent leading to our bathroom fan. I know this because when I turned it on, I heard a terrible banging sound and a loud chirping. This means that I am now waiting to see if the little thing made it out of harm’s way safely, or if blood begins sinking into the bathrooom ceiling from above. And if it does, it will mean even more damage to the place, because Crisis On Infinite Midlives Home Office mascot Parker The Kitten will claw through every wall in the place to get to it.

And on top of it all, is was a weird week at the comic store. There are a lot of books, and even a lot of books that look pretty good… but not a lot of standouts, you know what I mean? There’s a few DC annuals, a few regular issues of some old standbys, but not a lot of, “holy shit!” books in the pile. That said, there’s weeks like that.

But with that said, any day with new comics is a decent one. Which means that this…

…means the end of our broadcast day.

But even though it isn’t a spectacular week, that doesn’t mean there there isn’t some good stuff in there. There’s a new issue of Saga (which is never a bad thing), another chapter in the really very entertaining Cataclysm crossover, a new issue of Guardians of The Galaxy (featuring the first part of The Trial of Jean Grey), and the one that excites me most: the first issue of Serenity: Leaves on The Wind, which is the first honest-to-Christ sequel to the Serenity movie!

But you know how this works: before we can talk about any of them, we need a little time to clean up the guts, restrain the cat, and read the comics. So while we do that…

…see you tomorrow, suckers!
