Mac Prose

The new Mac Pros (eh, eh...get the title???...ah never mind) came out. And thanks to student loans, I'm going to get one! Hurrah! Who cares about debt, as long as my computer is kick ass?! Besides, that's 3 years from now, why worry?!

Ah, I live in a fantasy world. Of constant horniness and erections. Speaking of....



Since I wanted to finish this I'm gonna! These are the 2 books to read! Have to! DO IT!

2). Civil War Marvel's metaphor for the ever present rift between the blue states and red states, Civil War is a look at what happens when hero fights hero, brother fights brother, and the whites decide to free the slaves....errr....
As I said with Spider-Man before, the conflict begins with a tragic event (a chunk of Stamford, Conn. gets blown up...so tragic), which happens because of a group of brash, young, stupid heroes, and leads to the deaths of thousands, including theirs. The people cry out and the government decides to step in and proposes a new bill called the Superhero Registration Act, which passes easily. This brings the 3 major players in; Iron Man, who supports the act out of guilt for funding the young group; Captain America, the symbol of America, who OPPOSES the act and fights for the civil liberties of the heroes; and Spider-Man, who is caught up in the middle of everything, and who's choices will seem to turn the tide for who comes out on top. Speaking of tide, there have been recent events that have come up that will affect things even more....tide...heheh

1). 52 Taking place in a new world post-Infinite Crisis (since you can no longer just say THE crisis: see Crisis On Infinite Earths, circa the mid '80s), we see the world through a group of 2nd and 3rd teir heroes (and villains) trying to clean up their towns without Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman. The thing about these 6 characters, though, is that they have some of the most interesting stories to tell: Steel, with his rebel neice and their new found powers, courtesy of Lex Luthor; Booster Gold, with his bastardization and selling out of superheroism in Metropolis; The tragic story of the now-powerless Elongated Man trying to figure out why his dead wife's things have been vandalized; Black Adam, trying to rule his country, stop terrorism, and learn to love and be a good guy again; and the ones that have people buzzing the most - The Question and Renee Montoya, trying to keep an international gang (Intergang...original, no?) out of Gotham. But it looks like they have a little help....from Batwoman. The lezzy of the news herself, she has made her appearance, and it was big.
All of this is going to affect the course of the DCU. We already exist One Year Later, but the 52 weeks we see people who really put the pieces together.

But don't take my word for it!
