Darrin has a new baby, so he says he might be leaving me to run to shop at times. A whole comic shop to myself! Mwahahahaha!
Anyway, hopefully I'm a diligent worker. Darrin seemed impressed with my display. For a first job, this is really great and ideal! I'm in my element!
I've gotten Runaways #11 and Secret Six #11.
Runaways #11:
So Victor did a thing with hacking into the music and that made some guy think the Runaways were a target and crash an airplane into them... then there was this other guy?
Other than the slightly confusing plot stuff (which hopefully will be cleared up as we go along) and the random death, the snappy dialogue and character interplay, as well as decent art, made this an enjoyable issue. I plan to keep reading.
Also, this comic has a female writer, artist AND colorist. How cool is that? Lately, women seem to be breaking into the business more and more. I am pleased
Secret Six #11:
Lovely art as always from Nicola Scott. And Jeanette is wonderful. And Artemis is awesome! She will take your hand and wear it as a belt, thus depriving you us the only thing willing to give you pleasure! And enemies of Amazons rarely die lovely! REMEMBER THAT!
The Six sure are quick to shoot each other and stab each other in the stomach at the slightest sign of conflict between them. Must be a side effect of being villians.
There's no way Artemis is dead (especially as there's no visible cause of death...) but Wonder Woman's all jumping to conclusions and pissed and making Ragdoll "do something nasty in his tights". I love how Gail can always get through how damn scary Diana is when she's angry.
Another stellar issue.
5/5
The new show I'm in love with is Dexter. It is simply awesome, full of dark humor and twisted drama! I have a crush of a serial killer. But he's a GOOD serial killer!

Man, there are a lot of penciller/inkers nowadays, aren't there? Amanda Conner, Sara Pichelli, Guillem March, Pete Woods, JH Williams 3, Francis Manapul, Cliff Chiang and Michael Gaydos. I wonder how they're able to work so quickly.
Dexter! I think I'll check the DVDs out of the library this week. Going to Illinois/Wisconsin on Friday to see the Uncle, which means 12 hour car ride.
I doubt Artemis is dead. It'd be very un-Gailish to kill a major Wondy supporting character outside of the title, in such a lame way.
I don't know nearly enough about the others to comment. I do know that Runaways looks really pretty right now, though (my sister was flipping through it last night).
Francis Manapul had numerous fill-ins on the Legion of Super-Heroes, and that was back when he wasn't inking his own work. HIs output lately is not quite as much--he's had just a few issues on Superman/Batman and a few covers, and it looks like he's building plenty of lead time on Adventure Comics, but his run on Legion was anything but consistent.
Chiang wasn't monthly on Green Arrow/Black Canary for more than a few months, and he left the book because, by his own admission, he just couldn't maintain the monthly schedule, and was going to work on limited and special projects instead.
For some reason I thought that Gaydos had more fill-ins, so yeah, I'll retract that one, too.
Last week's Runaways was really strange. Everyone was acting kind of odd. I'm not quite sure what the ending is supposed to imply happened to Klara. And why did they kill Old Lace?
But also, you should take the time to reorganize the X-Men section! Make it a long-term project. You can do it!
The X-men thing might take some doing...
And in the unlikely event that your comic shop has any copies left (it's getting crazy attention), Chew, from Image. It's really, really good. And it has ties to food, so my culinary side is satisfied.
