Freedom Cage

Don't mind the title. It's a Futurama thing. In any event, I've been riding a bit of a major low for the past week or so...but, I've decided that I'm the only one who can get me out of this rut. So, I'm riding my Freedom Cage to safety. :) That probably makes no sense...but trust me, it's not fun waking up every morning feeling like you've been mauled by Jesus.

But, Jesus aside, I've found myself reading a lot more recently. There was a time in my life when I detested reading...and while many people would argue that comics are on the lower end of the reading scale, I think it's a medium that is sadly overlooked. I'm not sure why...some of the best writers (I think) out there today work for comic book publishing houses. That's right ladies and gentlemen, the story is just as important as the artwork. In any event, whatever you think of comics, good or bad, they are more and more becoming part of our mainstream culture. And for your entertainment, as well as mine, here's a list of some of the comic series (and their affiliated publishing houses) that I am currently reading (I might go into more detail about individual series in subsequent posts):

The Authority (Wildstorm)
The Losers (Vertigo)
Rising Stars (Top Cow)
Identity Crisis (DC Comics)
JLA Elite (DC Comics)
Ultimate Spider-Man (Marvel)
Ultimate X-Men (Marvel)
Powers (ICON)
Darkminds (Dreamwave)
Hellboy (Darkhorse)

There's many more...but, I think you get the idea. Later.
