Comic Book Friday

Coworker Jon and I went to Titan today so he could drop off some movie screening passes for Hero Realm and I took the opportunity to catch up on my comic book needs. I purchased the following books:

ult_IM_cov_sm.jpgUltimate Iron Man #1: written by Orson Scott Card. Woooooo. Lots of anticipation here, I hope it's good. If you don't know, OS Card wrote Ender's Game and the subsequent sequels. I wept at the end of Ender's Shadow…Bean rules!






7Soldiers 0.jpgSeven Soldiers #0: I heard about this during a panel I attended during Wizard World (I think). The guy at Titan made it sound really sweet. A substantial read he said and I'm looking forward to it.






Ocean_4.gifOcean #4: Ocean written by Warren Ellis. I don't need to say anymore.








ULTMTS2003CVR_CMYKt.jpgUltimates V2 #3: Good series.








Infantry2.pg.jpgInfantry #2: Not much happened in the first issues and the main character didn't show up until the end, so I'm eager to see if this issue expands.








I was going to buy Ultimate Nightmares #1 and Ex Machina #1, but they were a little pricey. I was advised to await the trades.

Coworker Jon has leant me the next story arc of Powers and I need to get busy reading those, I've read the first three TPB's. He also loaned me a single of 100 Bullets with the comment that it was as good a jumping on point to the series as exists.

ARGH, boy oh boy did this turn into a major fiasco. I started off thinking:

"ooh...I'm going to list the comics I bought today"
then it was "oh I should put in links to the comics I bought today"
then "ooh...I should put in the cover art of the comics I bought today"
then "oooh...I should format the text so it's aligned next to the pictures of the comics I bought today"
*sigh*

Thanks to Trin for helping me out so much!
