So after I got my batch of comic books, I was originally going to start with something completely random, but in reality it’s probably best if I at least had some idea what the heck is going on in what I was reading. So I busted out a Wolverine comic, and I forgot what the series name was, but there was a 3 in it somewhere and I’m pretty sure it had something to do with Texas or with Hispanics in some fashion. From a first experience overall I was quite impressed with the drawing abilities and Logan’s ability to find friends. Usually when I move to a new area, friends are hard to come by, and it takes a few crazy experiences to bring me and others together. But Logan just has a way to a person’s heart, which gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. He does get jealous and kill your card playing buddies with his razor claws, but we all know you suck at cards and were going to lose anyhow.

Plus in a new land, it’s hard to know who to trust, and one minute you may think you’re getting revenge on a amoral drug lord, and the next its all about taking your vengeance out on pregnant women. Curve balls galore I say.

I would also like to think I’m pretty good at following the pattern of book writing. Usually a sentence followed by another one, doing the whole line thing. Occasionally I’ll go across a whole page, but who doesn’t every few paragraphs or so. Speech bubbles are more complicated but at least it deals away with quotation marks, my archenemy. With those it usually ends up in a “Who’s on First” situation. I was delighted to find sentences directly connected to those talking. Like a good action film, you can just phase out the dialog and focus on the killing. This is definitely something I can get used to.

Needs more blood.
