the read pile - 3/12/08

By
#1 GREEN ARROW BLACK CANARY #6 - Connor's been abducted! My money is that the League of Assasins and Ra's al Ghul is behind it.

#2 BOOSTER GOLD #7 - Why can't they change the title of this book to "Blue and Gold" or "Booster Gold and Blue Beetle Team Up". I just want to sleep easy, that Ted Kord will never die again.

#3 MIGHTY AVENGERS #10 - I love time travel.  

#4 COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS 7 - I hope something happens this issue.

#5 GREEN LANTERN CORPS #22 - Second part of the Boodika story. I'm into it...mildly.

#6 LONE RANGER AND TONTO #1 - This issue is new reader friendly, so if you're not reading Lone Ranger give this a try.


#7 COUNTDOWN TO MYSTERY #6 (OF 8) - Wonder how this book is gonna play out since Steve Gerber has passed away, hope it goes well. 

#8 TINY TITANS #2 - I've moved this one up in the pile in case CONTDOWN TO MYSTERY is depressing and I need a laugh.

#9 LAST DEFENDERS #1(OF 6) - I've never actually read any issues of Defenders but I have been enjoying this and this. So I'll give the Last Defenders a shot.

#10 AVENGERS FAIRY TALES #1 (OF4) - I enjoyed the post siskoid did talking about Kitty Pryde's Fairy Tale, so maybe it'll be similar. This looks like it might suck but I'll give it a shot and hope I'm wrong.

#11 SALVATION RUN #5 (OF 7) - I didn't like last issue. It felt like pointless and stupid violence. It left me confused, I think it was the art's fault but I'm not sure. So this has gone from a 3 spot to basically last place.

#12 JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #43 - I started with Blue Beetle and Boster Gold. So I'll end with them. This oughta be my number 1.


I ordered Y- THE LAST MAN VOLUMES 1-3 from Amazon. I haven't followed the series at all. However this link over at Comic Overload will take you to the first issue online. Which I read and greatly enjoyed. So I'm getting on board this series a little late to say the least. 

Pulp Secret is doing three shows this week and wants people to know about it. So this is me letting you know. Pulp Secret is a funny weekly show that reviews comics. Take a look for yourself.

Week 4

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s

Count Down to the New Year By Syncing These Epic Movie Moments at Midnight

Because this is 2020, we know most of us will likely be spending our New Year's Eve at home--but that doesn't mean we can't do something special to celebrate the death of this foul year of our Lord. So here's a list of our favorite movies that sync up to ring in the new year with a big, epic moment and what time you should start watching them on New Year's Eve.  For the best results, we suggest starting the movie, pausing it, setting it to 0:00:00 and unpausing at the time suggested. We also suggest watching these movies on DVD or BluRay if possible because even the most insignificant streaming blips can throw off the timing completely. Cabin in the Woods - 10:30:07 PM If you want to ring in the new year with the Old Gods rising again, hit play on Drew Goddard's modern classic Cabin in the Woods at 10:30:07 PM (10:30 and 7 seconds) and at the stroke of midnight, the giant hand will come crashing down. Fight Club - 9:44:19 PM Perhaps you prefer a more anarchist a
