weekly update

[meganbmoore]

Lots of stuff in this week, but I haven't read much of it.  Most of my free time was spent making a dent in the novels(which was undone by a stop at the used book store yesterday...certain people will be happy to know that I have finally tracked down a copy of Shogun...why wasn't I warned this thing was over 1000 pages?) and trying to conquer the forces of Super Mario 2 Adavanced(or whatever it's called)

Watched This Week:

 

Buffy: Season 2: eps 1-5:  I'll talk about this once I've watched more.

 

Read this week:

 

RG VEDA v1:  Starts off stronger than most Clamp titles, lets just hope it doesn’t fizzle out or get lost like their titles tend to do.  And…Ashura is a boy?  I could have sworn that Ashura was a girl in the anime.  Plus, he looks and acts more like a little girl than a little boy.

Sakura Taisen Vol 1:  Been curious about this one for a while.  There’s a bit of an assumptionthat you’ve seen the anime, but not enough to feel like you should already know what’s going on.  Interesting book, very pretty, nice historical feel.  I just hope it doesn’t get too into the mecha aspect.

Shojo Beat #2:  Good issue, even if I still don’t see what the big deal is about “Nana” and think “Baby & Me” is in the wrong book.  The others are all pretty good,though(as long as I ignore the historical problems with “Godchild.”)

 

Blade Of The Immortal #103:  Nice issue.  I’ve always been rather fond of Abayama, and it’s nice to see an active, older guy be regarded as a physical threat.  Last two pages w/ Makie really weren’t very necessary, though.

Fables #39:   Oooooo…hello Mowgli.  Are you staying for a while?  Please say yes.  Nice catch up issue.  Prince Charming and Beast seem to get along pretty well.

New Thunderbolts #10:  Purple Man is the new nanites for TBolts.  And Atlas seems have a real problem with blowing up…he needs to stop that.  If Speed Demon isn’t careful, he’ll start sounding like he cares.

Rann Thanagar War #3:   Oooo…pretty explosions art races and…yeah…big fight book.  But a good one!

Villains United #3:  Yes Catman, you will be a hero.  I’m placing my bets for either Talia or Black Adam being Mockingbird.  Though Damon(manager at Waldenbooks) thinks it’ll be Max Lord.

Wonder Woman #218:Coming soon:  The Return of Hippolyta!  Neutral about that, myself, but given  Diana and Cassie’s exchange a few issues ago, Circe’s taunts and the Hippolyta/Ares connection and this issue, I think it’s a safe bet that Lyta really is Hippolyta, in some way.

Did you know that Nana is being made into a live action movie. Mika Nakashima is playing one of them. ^_^

Yeah...the Shojo Beat mag is pretty much centered around Nana...keeps telling me how widely popular and successful it is.
