Excelsior Means DC is For Douchebags!

....not my opinion. That's according to Stan Lee....or rather "The Stan Lee Experience" (You'll see how much I love DC)

I suffer the cliche` nerd problem (among other cliches) of having asthma. Now, my sports induced asthma I've grown out off since I was in wrestling (THIS IS A TRUE STATEMENT, DAMNIT), but every once in a while I'll be struck unaware by an attack, as was the case today. It was this heat, because, as they say, it's too damn hot.
Later, I learned that on the news there was a warning that the air was dangerously hot and stagnant and it wasn't recommended for nerds.....I mean, those with asthma, to go outside. But I need my fix of comics and videogames, damnit.

Speaking of comics, I haven't spoke much of them, as I mostly love my videogames more (I'm STILL playing Ouedan! even after beating it, although I am on the "insane" mode of it, where you play as girl cheerleaders, and I'm less excited about that).
Here is my list of the comics that, if you are interested, you should be keeping up on:

5). Eternals; This series has just kicked off and is only 6 issues long, so it's still easy to get into. The story takes off in the Marvel universe where Jack Kirby's original left off, about a handful of beings, the Eternals, who live forever and battle an evil, other eternal race, but apparently have lost their memory. The main reason you should read this series is because of it's writer, NEIL GAIMAN, of Sandman fame (which, if you haven't read, you should either read now, or kill yourself. Everyone should read this series, as it is a work of ART).

4). The Amazing Spider-Man Peter Parker has finally revealed himself as Spider-Man in the series Civil War, which will not only change the course of his life as he knows it, but that of the entire Marvel universe. Best at keeping his identiity most secret, he's trying to get other supers to fall into line and register with the government under the Superhero Registration Act. But he's done more than that. He's done the one thing in the world he wanted to do LAST: put his loved ones in danger. Now his entire rouges gallery knows who he, Mary Jane, and Aunt May are, and what effect this will have on the rest of his life will make for more interesting writing. The tragic part of it is he's regretting his actions more and more, and as Civil War draws to a close, Spider-Man is the center of the crisis and causes for some of the best Spider-Man writing in some time now. Now if he can lose that TACKY suit......

More later, true believers.....
