Life: Short Blurb #17

Little short blurb here.  Haven't posted in a few days and I skipped this week's Tuesday's posts.  Mainly because there was nothing on DVD or being released on the Xbox 360/LIVE Arcade that caught my fancy.  Though I did pick up the last two Potter films for Symphony.  I also ran over to the local comic store and picked up half of about three months of comics.  The last issue of the Uncanny X-Men was in that stack and I must say it was bittersweet.  I'm not sure if I liked it, sure the story was well put together yet at the same time it left me hanging and I decided that I'm not going to continue with the new two series pictured below:

I love the Uncanny X-Men comics as my collection will attest.  But after the cluster &*^% that was the multiple spanning series that sprung up pre and post Age of Apocalypse (or the AoA) crossover series.  I am not going to give Marvel ten bucks a month for only two comics.  I can always still look for cheap back issues online and abroad in the world.  I think I'm going to give two new series from DC Comics a try.  Swamp Thing (which I loved as a kid and still get giddy about) and Justice League Dark (which has Constantine and Zatanna in it, whom both I adore).  We'll see if I keep them running or not.  I think I'm also going to drop Uncanny X-Force, though not that I am hating on the series, I just can't afford more than ten bucks a month on comics now.  Plain and simple.

This blurb is starting to get a little bigger than I expected, so I'm going to cut out for a bit and watch some wrasslin' on the Netflix instant queue and then rock some Rush 2112 on Rock Band 3 w/ some rawkers off of Rock Band 30+ on Facebook.  Taste the social media.  Hm.  Taste like chicken, or people, whatever.
