I have two longboxes, and once I get to reorganizing it again and pushing another section to the second box, I'll prolly need a third.  I don't get the super-longboxes, just the fits-nicely-on-a-shelf longboxes.

Phhh. You should see my closet, bookshelf, and under my bed. Over two thousand comic books collected from 1995 to present. But I need more Firestorm comics, and Flash comics with the Firestorm back up. (FLASH FACT: Did you know that a Firestorm back-up was the first gig George Perez did for DC?)

Yes, I'm a Firestorm fanboy. And Yes, I'm glad that Ronnie's back in Blackest Night/Brightest Day, and even more estatic that he's paired with Jason.

Something tells me Jason won't be too happy with that pairing.

Meanwhile I'm very happy that J'onn is back.

Indeed.  The League just wasn't the same without him.  Though, with death in comics being that vacation to Key West that it is, it's only a matter of time til the long-established claw their way back. 

Otherwise, publishers would be inundated with hordes of pissed-off nerds.  And pissed-off nerds are never a pretty sight.

It's May 1st!  Do you know what day it is?

Kids: "What day is it??"

It's...

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

So, what did your local comic shop do to celebrate?  Artist Kevin Graham came to the Mechanicsburg Comix Connection, along with the Garrison Carida of the 501st Legion!  I hugged a TIE pilot! XD  Pics will be coming soon (as I need to get the rest of them from someone).  Got a ton of free comics, too.

Anyone else have a great FCBD?

Heh, I couldn't make it to FCBD, but usually most of the FC I care about I already buy!  XD

I still am waiting on the pics Ace (another Ace) took, but here's the ones I took.  Behold, the Garrison Carida of the 501st Legion:











I'll post the other images as soon as I get 'em.  Needless to say, Comix Connection is awesome.  They have mini comic cons. XD

Thats a nice Dark Trooper, or whatever type of trooper it's supposed to be.
Bike trooper looks kinda sad though.

Shadow stormtrooper (ignoring that I called the file "Commando," I just wanted to get the pics off my phone.), and I got to hug the scout trooper and TIE pilot.

I had to work on FCBD so I wasn't able to make it, but I made it home before "Doctor Who" came on so I was too disappointed.

SOOOOOOOO

Who's excited for the return of the GODDAMN BATMAN TODAY?

Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #1 comes out today, and we'll get to see Bats and his cavemen hijinx, in what could possibly be the best damn Batman comic series ever. Overdone seriousness with gritty nighttime city stories? Screw that, MY Batman travels through time and fights PIRATES!



Aside from that, other awesome comics come out today. Flash#2 for example, will have me face against the new very bishonen futuristic Rogues. Which will be undoubtly awesome. But you guys already have to coexist with me everyday, so let's move on. Let's not forget about a very fan-favorite's return.



Justice League: Generation Lost features the return of the JLI/Superbuddies team, written by the very same writers of the original books. Since this is about looking for Max Lord, I don't think it's gonna be full comedy, but there might be room for some jolly teaming up among the old gang. I just hope Ted comes back. We miss you, Ted.

Lucky bastard. I gotta wait from a week to a month until I can get my comic fix. Meanwhile, I'll wait for the scans.

SIEGE #4: Well, that was pretty dissapointing. I thought I was gonna see a good ol' team-up, from what I expected. Not much.

Yeah, I gotta say that Siege #4 was kind of a let down.

Meanwhile, I'm still loving The Flash, it was nice to see the Birds of Prey back together, and I'm enjoying The Return of Bruce Wayne.  Also Generation Lost was pretty awesome.

The Flash was awesome. I never dissapoint, I know I'm way too awesome for my own good. Count six seconds of your clock. I'll be building a huge metropolis on Sahara Desert. I'll call it the Goshdarn Flashopolis.

I still miss the times Max was good and awesome. Generation Lost is the first time he's written by the original writer after that. I missed it. He seems to have a bit of his old flair back. I'd give anything for a full retcon, back to the good ol' JLI.

And Batman? Holy crap. That was FRIGGIN' AMAZING. Seriously, how can you make such an awesome comic just with cavemen saying gibberish? Morrison made up a way of communication on his own that sounded absolutely cool, and there was the tie-in at the end with Time Masters. I know I'm gonna love this series.

Good crazy. He makes wonderful, wonderful things. I have post-its on every single page of my Final Crisis book, every single frame checked infinite times for tiny details that may lead to this or that. It's Morrison, and I love it.

Oh I'm a huge Morrison fan. His run on JLA was one of, if not, the best JLA ever.

It was.Reading that first Infinite Mass Punch was... magical.

Too bad Robinson isn't doing that good of a job with JLA right now. That guy needs to either get back to Starman, or write that Shade ongoing he keeps saying he's gonna do.

I think when Supes & Bats gets back to Earth fully, they need to ditch this team.  It's not that I have anything against the characters, but when I think JLA, I think the big 7.

It'll come and go. Status Quo is king. Plus J'onn's back. He'll bring the cookies.

I know how that is. Better pick them up fast, or the price will pile up.

And yes! J'onn's pants are something of a marvel.

I'm hoping to run in on Friday.  Though, once I move, I'm gonna need to switch my subscription service to another store.
