This Weeks Purchases

Went to Isotope yesterday to pick up my comics. It has been a couple weeks since my last visit there. Ron from iFanboy was there. And James had a Twitter about someone new working there... it was Matt Silady creator of Homeless Channel. When I purchased my comics Matt remembered me from a couple months back when James gave me a copy of Homeless Channel and Matt was in the store so he signed it. It was a great trip

--- Purchases ---

Ex Machina Vol 6 TPB
Mostly just a story alluding to where the powers come from and dark twists and forboading to come. The political side falls short. Overall so so.

Scott Pilgrim Vol 4 TPB
More fun with Scott Pilgrim. There is some silliness like all the lesbianism, but the storry is over the top and I like it that way. Typical Scott Pilgrim which means pretty good.

Mouse Gaurd Winter 1152 #2
The art is amazing and the story is still building. Most of the story is the mice traveling. My issue is that these are good, but David Petersen just hasn't become a master comic craftsmen yet.

Buffy Season 8 #8
More about the Faith story. Things seem to jump around and the story didn't advance as much as it could have. I'm not sure why Buffy is still mad at Faith, seemed like the two heroes meet and fight comic cliche. Eh.

Lower Regions
Wordless dungeon crawl with monsters doing all kinds of morphing. So so.
