tracker7Picked up this week's comics last night.
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born is terrific stuff, even if it's stuff I read ten years ago. I'm getting to see Roland and Susan meet and fall in love again, and I know that the story is going to tear my heart out and stomp that sucker flat (with thanks to Lewis Grizzard), but it's terrific stuff. The additional material included in each issue is worth the price of the comic - this month, it's the history of the Deschain guns, going back to Arthur Eld and his acquisition from somewhere of the Peacemakers through the melting down of Excalibur and the forging of its metal into new revolvers.
Omega Flight #1 (of 5). I think I started getting interested in the Flights back in high school, when I read an article in Time about Northstar coming out. I picked up a few issues here and there, but mostly followed the comic from afar. This new series is a post-Civil War story, dealing with the formation of a new Canadian team to defend against the influx of supers coming over from the US. I like it so far.
Iron Man: Hypervelocity #4 (of 6). I love this in probably unhealthy ways. A mostly-sentient suit of Iron Man armor running a copy of Tony's personality, fighting against an intelligent virus, on the run from SHIELD and getting caught up in a too-cyberpunk-for-school subculture of AIs, bots, and various and sundry mecha.
Tonight's the Horsemen home opener. I have been waiting a good long while for this. Before the game, though, some productivity is in order. A little laundry, a lot of words.
