Oh my goodness, I totally have a new obsession. It's the jaw-droppingly, stupendously beautiful The Red Star and I covet like I ain't never coveted before. This looks so amazingly gorgeous, and it's so original and innovative. I love Image comics. They are my personal comic deities.

Meanwhile, the new Ultimate X-Men, which I picked up in the midst of lusting after this new comic, is also quite stunning. An amazing opening sequence that is giving me so much Cyke/Wolvie fanfic fodder. I'm just going to ride out the storm at this point and then try harnessing it. And the end sequence was... well, it rocked. A lot. Another great comic.

Plus I also looked at the Cyke Icons edition while I was there, and was quite disappointed. It's 70s-style, old-skool comics, and I hate that. All skanky drawing and noises. I particularly hate the noises. You know the sort. Explosions that go ka-boom or electrical charges that go Fshzzzk or whatever the bloody noise they've decided it makes is. They're silly. They're childish. They're one of those things that really annoys me. You will not find silly noises in any comics I collect seriously. Ultimate is for grown-ups: it doesn't have them

So that's my adventures today. No, I did nothing that did not involve comics.
