I can't stand Gilmore Girls. The dialogue has the same effect on me that most Joss Whedon shows do. It makes me want to stab my ears with an icepick.

Noted. Sounds like AA is viewed more favorably than SA then, that's the opposite of what I expected. I guess I'll just read both probably. Thanks for the feedback.
Sooo, good news/bad news.
Bad news is I totally blew it and didn't end up asking that girl from the bouldering gym out to coffee.
But my reason/excuse was that I had asked her about her weekend plans and she already had a packed weekend, so it would've been kind of dumb to say "Let's hang out next weekend" when I'm going to see her before then at the bouldering gym anyways. Dunno. I really wish I would've just to have done it, but it didn't feel right or something. Basically I choked. Haha
However, good news is that pretty much everyone at the bouldering gym told me that she's totally into me and is making the eyes at me and all that. So that's pretty awesome.
And also I still had a very nice time with her tonight regardless of totally failing to ask her to coffee.
So yeah.
What are comics again?

The things I read to fill the hole in my life where meeting awesome girls at interesting activities like bouldering would be.
I'm so lonely ;__;
Read Eyeshield 21, seems like it'd be your speed.
Because it's manga, you see.
Nah, San Diego area. That's awesome that there's another boulderer (is that a word?) in this thread though! I just started in February and I've been going every other day since then. It's genuinely the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love it so much. And the people at my bouldering gym are awesome people.
i read Walking Dead #141, i laughed at the ending which made me question myself a little. Then I moved on to New Avengers 33 and Avengers 44 which was mostly joyless outside of a few moments in New Avengers where i pretended like i was following what was going on until
Such a bummer of a book, but hey at least it's 70+ issues.
On to Secret Wars!
Doom threw a box with something in it that made him say NO! and then there were twelve universes left after that.
On to Secret Wars!
oh, nice! i lived in socal/sd for like 10 months a couple years back. solid area.
bouldering is the greatest - you get to be spiderman and chat w/ a ton of squaty thick girls every time. best sport ever.

You could try reading them. That might help.
You make it sound so simple.

I've read some of the titles you mentioned outside of the PD series from the 90s, of which the character was used in the Superman TAS show.
I read through issue #1 of love & capes that I picked up in the IDW. It's pretty fun. The whole series is essentially a romantic comedy revolving around superman and Lois dating. Even has a spinoff justice league and whatnot.
I'll give it a read thanks for brining it up.

Same here,, I can see those getting expensive quick.
LOL
Yeah I just read it last night,, so good.
Remender said that they are now at the phase of this book where there are going to be basically torturing these characters.
There was a lot of hype about this book at first.. lot of talk about it here in the Gaf world. It was pretty good.... at first. Kinda lost my interest.

Cool cover
You done good, Messi.
So this weekend, I'm going to make a point to try and re-read the first mini from Life and Times of Martha Washington. I'm excited.
I'm also going to Legoland today with my friend from Banana Republic who also works there who can get me in for free. I'm kind of really looking forward to that. Haha. I haven't been since I was like 13 or something.

Okay I've almost owned it for a year now and I haven't finished it. It's time.
I'll buy it...for America.

That depends, what sort of fiction do you enjoy besides Lost as Sea?

Dial H #13: Filthy was right, that was something special.
Also, Roxie is awesome. And Nelson is a dick.
I might have missed it, but how did Manteau have knowledge about Laodice?

Haven't read Lost at Sea, but an educated guess says you may enjoy Seconds.
I don't really know, actually.
Yup, read that too and enjoyed it a lot.

Some awesome art.

Yes... Doodles.
Not one of those are bad in any way. They are all incredible. Such tiny details. Amazing work.
Yeah, but could Rosanes get a book out on time? Greg Land can.

Dial H #14,#15, Dial E for Evil: That's everything wrapped up. The last issue was a bit of a disappointment, like everything was rushed. Another issue or so would have been great.
Overall, a rather fun series. My only problem is that it could and should have been much more. Maybe it was the monthly schedule that was the cause. Maybe China should have been given a fixed 24 issues or something to do his thing.
Oh, the art in Dial E and #15 was rather spectacular.

Convergence Swamp Thing ended nicely. That was a fun 2 part little story. I like Kelly Jones art but it seems like he didn't get to strut his stuff in this story. Something was off, nothing wowed me.

Go read good comics-
Orc Stain
Dungeons and Dragons by John Rogers
Tellos by Mike Wieringo
Chew
The Goon
Jonah Hex
The Don Rosa collection from Fantagraphics
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
The last bit of issues definitely feel rushed, especially given how crazy everything gets. I'm pretty sure it was a "hey, we're cancelled, but we want to give you some sort of closure." I'm going to read through my deluxe edition starting today, and I'm really fucking excited because I never got to read Dial E due to my comic shop being doo-doo.
