Yet another minor update!

Just wanted to let you guys know a few things.

First off, this week's reviews are going to be late. I've got to go be in a commercial today, woo hoo! I'll try to have it up tomorrow. Some good stuff this week, continuing and deepening a lot of stories. (Green Lantern is, I think, particularly good this week.)

Also, I've been thinking about how I want to do things and I've come to the decision that, after the first arcs, I'm going to cut back severely on reviews, and only do 3, 4 a week. Simply put, there's too much good stuff to read from DC right now, and as much as I'd like to review them all, it's going to be a lot easier on my sanity to pick what I think are either the best books or the absolute worst one of a given week. I'll still try to do other, non-DC reviews, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9. (Very good this week.)

That said, I'm also going to regularly put up those family life posts. Or, at least, try to. :-) I'll also try to get my to cents in on various comic book related stories that float around in the aether.

Which reminds me.

Another chain has pulled DC comics from their shelves, Books-A-Million. Now, BAM did that because they're owned by Barnes & Noble, so it's not like companies are jumping on a bandwagon yet, but it is a slippery slope. I'm hoping that Local Comic Shops sieze this opportunity and advertise that they're carrying DC books. Anything to pump some money back into their stores. Although, given the prevelance and popularity of online sales, and the fact that these stores still carry DC in that format, I'm a little doubtful as to how much this will hurt Barnes and BAM.

Be interesting to see how this plays out.

Also, if you needed an excuse to buy something like Trix or Lucky Charms, I suggest you read this story and drool: 'Justice League' Comics Getting Packed In General Mills Cereal Boxes Through The Fall I'm really looking forward to eating the heck out of some cereal! :-)

Keep reading and see you next time!
