Does the X-Men Annual have anything to do with the recent Messiah Complex storyline? I know the annuals usually don't have anything to do with events....

I'm reading "His Dark Materials" and "PharMerica IV Training Manual"

No, it has to do with Rogue actually, and whether the 198 are able to reproduce mutant babies. I think...

I'm only a few pages in.

Sounds interesting, I should pick it up. I have subscriptions so sometimes I forget to pick up stuff like the annuals and one-shots. Although New X-Men is changing to X-force and X-men is changing to X-Men Legacy this month.

Messiah Complex is jacked. It's one of the better storylines the past couple of years.

I understand though. Sometimes I back up with my subs come in the mail.

Yea, the guys at the comicbook store pull the titles for me. I just tell them which titles I want to follow, and they save me every issue. I have all teh issues up-to-date, I just haven't caught up on reading them. Right now I'm collecting Uncanny, Excalibur (which only went to issue 24 I think), X-factor, New Class, New X-men (I think, I haven't gotten there yet), Ultimate, and X-men. I also get the side issues or oneshots or miniseries if they involve X-Men characters.

I gave up on comics after Marvel changed Iron Man artists from Sean Chen to some other guy... Who draws like I play a guitar: poorly.

Awww that's too bad. They always rotate artists tho, and a lot of them come back to titles they've worked on.

They were rotating for a little while as well, but Chen was out permanently for a new project... And that was it for me.

Very disappointing.

Just finished reading Runaways, Vol. 3., and am still amazed at the quality of Adrian Alphona's art. That, and the writing's excellent, as with the first two volumes.

Am still finishing up Queen & Country, Definitive Edition Vol. 1, and I have to say that I'm surprised that it's as good as I find it to be. Apparently they don't give away Eisners for nothing.

As for honest books, er, I definitely stalled with the last book I read (Special Topics In Calamity Physics), simply because comics and manga always get in the way.

Recently, I was forced by my friends and little cousins to read the 'Twilight' series. I've never heard of the books until this past summer when I went to Comic Con and had a really bad encounter with its crazed following. Without a doubt, the WORST group of people I've met at a convention. Most of them were middle aged women who were lusting after the main actor, who is MY age. Ughhh.

Anyways, I've been careful to avoid it until recently when I was called "being judgmental." Then I was like, OK, fine, I'll read it. It was...as I expected it to be. A poorly written, mediocre version of Romeo and Juliet, only the main guy was a vampire. And not even a scary vampire at that. Literally, in the book, he sparkles (what the heck!). And he's a 'vegetarian.' A sparkling vegetarian vampire. No. Just, no.

It's written in first person so everything's in the perspective of the main character, Bella. She's got to be the most stereotypical, uninteresting heroine in the written word. Not only is she extremely dim, but she's also extremely clumsy. Sometimes I question whether or not she has some type of motor neurological disorder. And she goes on for like a hundred or more pages about how perfect and beautiful the main guy is and how she's unworthy of his love. Yea yea yea, shut up already!

It's being called the 'next Harry Potter' and I sooo disagree with that statement. Harry Potter may not be the greatest piece of literature out there but at least it was well written, the plot was interesting and the characters were not cardboard cutouts.

In short, save the trees and don't read 'Twilight.'

I second that! I bought the first three books (critics were good) as an easy beach-read for my summer vacation in Barcelona. What was I thinking?
On day two I started to think that trashy Spanish magazines ("Hola" and the likes) about European royals and Penelope Cruz etc were almost superior to those books and I spend my time reading those instead.

I bet they were more enlightening, too. The 4th book in that series was the worst though. Ughh. She probably got most of the story for those books off of FanFiciton.net.

Really?

That's quite disappointing as I picked up "Twilight" yesterday simply to see what all the hullabaloo was about. Now I'm scared as I had my doubts to begin with.

On the other hand, reading Margaret Atwood "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Edible Woman"

I have the reading ability of a 12 year old Norwegian. Wish I could speak it so well.

Is the Fight Club book good as the film?
