Non-Comics currently reading:
You did What? Mad Plans and Great Historical Disasters - Bill Fawcett and Brian Thomsen, editors

Non-Comics recently read:
Apocalypse 2012 by Lawrence E. Joseph

Comments: 2012 is an interesting look at a series of coincidental convergences of environmental and cosmic disasters that experts predict may come to a head around the year 2012, which interestingly enough ties into the end of the Mayan calender (that many feel represents the end of the world). I think I'll hold off on buying property until 2013.

The Starman Omnibus Vol. 1 by James Robinson and Tony Harris

Comments: I highly recommend Bell's Ditko book, Flagg!, Superman and the Legion, Coraline and Criminal. Watchmen I re-read on the trip to and fro San Diego and always stands up. Apocalipstix was fun. Astro City, Annihilation and Captain Marvel collections were okay reads, while the Green Arrow/Black Canary trade was forgettable. As for the issues recently read, I'd recommend Invincible (big fan of this book), Wolverine, Glamourpuss. Ultimate Spider-Man and Justice Society of America were okay as well. Pass on the others.

next project?
