My birthday present: Watchmen

07/24/05 | by [mail] | Categories: culture/news

Friday night we were talking with Kyle and Erika and he was telling me that he thinks Watchmen is the best super hero story story he's read. We were planning a trip to the comic shop on Saturday and I probably would have bought it. So Sara was forced to tell me that she had already ordered it for my birthday and it was due to arrive here any day now. When we got home from the city on Saturday, the package was waiting for us. So now I'm the proud owner of this graphic novel and I'm looking forward to reading it. But first I have to get through Harry Potter numbers five and six before someone gives away the ending. Some Howard Stern wannabe on a radio station that Sara listens to keeps blurting it out on the air. So far I've managed to cover my ears before hearing what he says, but I don't know how long I can last. I'm 150 pages into the Order of the Phoenix and enjoying it.

Looks like a number of us are turning into casual comic book readers now, how funny. I’ve got The Watchmen on order right now and am currently reading The Sword of Dracula. I’ve finished all 3 volumes of The Walking Dead and will more than likely put The Sandman on order now too.

I also, finally, borrowed the first Harry Potter book from the library to see what the hullabaloo is all aboot. Yes, I know I’m a bit behind the times on that but oh well, at least I’m trying.

I think a podcast of each of us talking aboot comics would be a great nerdy edition actually. Either together or solo I’m sure it’d go real swell. What do you think?
