Amy Reads the Week (of June 8th, 2008)

Can't blog, Gentle Reader. New Avengers to read.

That is to say, Mr. Reads and I just discovered that the last issue of New Avengers I have read is issue 36. 36, Gentle Reader! I do not think we have had any Skrull revelations yet!

Or, perhaps, just one.

On the television front, This Humble Author is behaving Much Better. We are almost finished with all available DVDs for Foyle's War, which I cannot recommend highly enough.

Must go help Mr. Reads with the New Avengers and Mighty Avengers (and Initiative, and Young Avengers) Sorting, so that I may understand Secret Invasion a Bit More.

Amy Reads the Week (of July 20th, 2007)

How is it possible, Gentle Reader, that Catwoman makes Amazons Attacking make sense, but Amazons Attack does not? Of course, neither do Supergirl, Teen Titans, or Wonder Woman. I must confess that I’m a bit grumpy with the Amazons Attack plotline. It seems as if several of the female characters in DC have changed radically in the past few weeks, and part of that radical change makes No Sense At All. I assume this will All Make Sense Soon—as soon as I find out who’s controlling Hippolyta, perhaps?—but until then, I am experiencing another quandary that’s Rather New for This Humble Author.

Yes, it’s true, Friends: I am experiencing Marvel Over DC Preference for the first time in my life.

That is to say, I have finally—finally!—caught myself up on the New Avengers, and all I can say is, “yeahbuwha?” Or, rather, WOW. Now *that’s* some Very Intriguing Writing Indeed!

Mr. Reads, who has Waited Patiently for me to get caught up on my comics reading, has been biting his tongue, refraining from revealing The Big Reveal to me, until I could get up to speed on said reading. Now that I am, I can see why he was chomping at the bit, more than a little. This series has vaulted into My Current Top Five, and as a Tried and True DC fan, that’s saying Much Indeed.

A short post for a long week, I know, but I’ve miles to go before I sleep, and more importantly, miles to go before the Harry Potter release tomorrow. I’ll have Book 7 in my greedy little hands Saturday around 12:15 p.m., so goes the plan, and I won’t stop reading until the sun comes up again, or I finish the book, whichever comes first. So until then, Friends, happy reading!
