COMIX!

Well I didn't wait for the weekend instead I decided just to head out of work a little early and head up to midtown and grab comics. Yesterdays selection included, Runaways, Wolverine, New Avengers, and Punisher War Journal. For those that don't know I read my comics in order, worst one first and best one last.









With that said I started with runaways which has been disappointing, ever since new artist and writers took over, it also hasn't come out in a couple of months. Surprisingly it was enjoyable, despite the massive amounts of characters being introduced at once.



Next was Wolverine, the art in this is just horrible, but the story was decent despite wolverine fighting the angel of death every time he dies, there was also some great dialog between Tony Stark and DR. Strange. And oh yes that cover is so lame.




Punisher war journal, this was a great stand alone, of the punisher trying to get this family out of Manhattan,In the middle of fighting giant bug men. Theres guns that shoot knives and freaken punisher venom suit. All worth reading.
Lets just say that this series has been flawless since book 1. So of course I assume this is going to be the best comic of the week, only to be disappointed. You see that cover, well nothing like that is in the comic, neither wolverine nor simbiotes were in this issue.

I also was reading this on the train and got off a stop early, which just completely blew. Oh well overall a good week though.

Ran into my mom on the ferry this morning on the way to work, its always weird when that happens.

Also read this yesterday and I think it makes a great point, I consider my self religious to an extent and this is why

"Over 40 generations of people playing telephone and trying to remember/ construct what jesus said- thats bound to be gods word, That might explain why it contradicts itself regularly: 'eye for an eye' here and 'turn the other cheek' there.This book has every fault that people do; bigoted, misogynistic, hypocritical, superstitious and archaic people wrote every word in that book, not an angry god."

The quote was a actually a comment on youtube in a Anton Szandor LaVey video, hes the guy that started the church of satanism, but this was a response to someone quoting the bible to make their point
