Final Thoughts for the Night


Here's a review to cap off the week:



This is the origin story of the harpoon that Aquaman wore for the majority of Peter David's run on the book. It's also part of the whole "Zero Hour" crossover, the one time in memory that most of the fans wanted the "bad guy" to win. And, despite being numbered "0", this is actually the third issue of Peter David's series. I have to admit that I hope DC has got the funny numbering thing out of their system. I prefer to have three follow two, not zero.

Which reminds me, if you haven't already, go find a copy of Aquaman #1! It sold out at my local shop, which makes me happy because I know Paige ordered well on it (and not just because one of her customers is the most rabid Aquaman fan on the 'net). I've re-read it a few times, and it is one of those books that gets better with each read. Looking forward to issue #2 in a couple weeks!

Left out of the previous rapid review was information on how to get The Witch and the Jackal if your shop doesn't carry it. Just pop over to their website for more information and a preview.

Also, Funny Pages Press has a website promoting Opposite Forces if you'd like to check it out. Everything else this week was from a major publisher, so you shouldn't have any problems finding those.

And lastly, there's just something really cool about getting a holiday card from Robin and Elayne Riggs. I hate to admit that it's one of the highlights of the holiday season for me to see what Robin and Elayne do with the card this year. Today, this year's card came, with a neat drawing of a snow-covered house complete with snowman. One of these years I need to start sending out cards to the few die-hard friends who still keep sending me cards each year.

I've hit my three blog limit... nothing more 'til tomorrow. Good night, all.
