Non-Sequitur #2: Pork Chop Sandwiches!

Last week for my job I had to sit in a major chain coffee house for 5 hours. A guy who looked like a thinner Alfred Molina came in 4 times.

New Avengers #3: I am still digging Stuart Immonen's art. It's gorgeous! The script is starting to meander just a bit. The agent Hand bit should've been one page and the Iron Fist scene should've been maybe two. The Thing's dialogue didn't feel quite right. On the other hand...Stuart's art is gorgeous!

Secret Avengers #4: More action packed fun. I'm a little disappointed that we didn't learn more about Nick Fury's motives, but I guess that's coming next issue. Something I'm a little more bothered by has to do with Mike Deodato's art. I know this is the black ops team, I know it's supposed to be all shadowy and on Mars but why oh why doesn't he draw more clear depictions of Val and Natasha's faces? I've been following this series since the start and I've known the characters since I was 10-11 years old and I could barely tell them apart! If it weren't for their different hair dos I'd been lost!

"My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder is a wonderful wonderful song.

I was going to buy some ham hocks for dinner, but I changed my mind and got chicken instead. I'm boiling instead of frying. That's healthier right?

Non-Sequitur #1:Uh...

The movie "Salt": I thought it was solid chase movie. Not ground breaking, but competent and fun.

Secret Avengers #3: I'm still enjoying this title. It delivers exactly what I want out of an Avengers comic; varied characters, an intriguing plot, action, nice enuff art, and very little decompression. So far I'm still wondering about Nick Fury's involvement with the Shadow Cabinet and I don't feel like I'm being strung along. Yet. STUFF ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN THIS COMIC.

Superman #702: Even though I knew the entire story before I bought this, I still thoroughly enjoyed this issue... alot more than I thought I would. Very eye engaging artwork, and nice little heart warming story. I didn't buy it 100% but I still recognize the emotional intent. One thing though, after Superman's speech to the aliens, is he going to give some of that JLA teleporter tech to EMT workers? Yeah, I didn't think so...

I gotta do field work at my job next week. It's not my favorite thing, but if I say no then I'm staying at home at least three days and not getting paid, so it's time to put on my happy public face...

On State St in Chicago today I saw a dad walking with his two sons. The boys were very young 6-8 years old. Dad was wearing a red t-shirt with the Flash symbol on it. He was also wearing a matching red cap with the same Flash symbol. This made me smile...
