Run Silent, Run Deep
So.
Where have YOU been, young lady?
Just when I figured I hit the big time, just when FREAKIN' NEWSARAMA picked up a little ol' article BY ME to use in their spiffy new blog, just when 300 PEOPLE come by to see what Snap Judgments is this... this, ladies and gentlemen, is when Real Life reared it's ugly head and I had (get this) NO TIME to blog.
NO TIME! What in God's good name was I thinking? But despite the maddening, high adventure, willy nilly world of a comic shop employee that I live, things will be coming back in order very soon. In fact, there might even be a few good changes around here. You see, I tend to munch through the Preview Books at work at a rate of about 5 a day, make my notes, then round them all up when I'm done to type them all out and post on Tuesday. This method has got to go, so I'll be doing more sporadic reviews instead of forcing you poor folks to read the big block.
I have a bajillion things to say since Civil War started, I totally missed my chance to announce that OMG BATWOMAN IS GAY, but we'll be back to snuff, no worries.
And if you're made it this far, thanks for reading.
Just a Little About Where You Are
So, since people have been rather pleasantly disposed towards my little humble home of geekery, why not snazz the place up a bit? I whipped up some quickie comic banners, found a nice looking layout and hopefully some interesting things to say.
I'm also now officially listed on the Comic Weblog Update page, not to mention the lovely notice from When Fangirls Attack! and the very awesome Ragnell. With the wonderful neon arrow given to my She-Hulk 'Integrity' post, I am proud to say I hit the triple digit big time. The dance I did to celebrate was long and involved and lasted a couple days.
For some strange reason, I haven't been posting to the comments people have been leaving me! I guess some part of my lizard brain thinks it's little like signing your own yearbook, but you know, I paid for that damned yearbook and I can sign every single page if I wanna! Expect more words from me.
And, to get schmoopy for a moment, thanks for reading. Despite what it seems like, no matter how down things get and no matter what they smell like, comic book fans are some pretty damn kick ass people.
Go team!
Crazy Town
Okay, I'm not the gossipy type, but to let you kindly folks know... it's been a long day. Reviews are forthwith (despite the fact I seem to be missing some of my notes...), but probably slow going.
We now return you to your next over-hyped Marvel 'company wide' event.
Dead of Morning – Excuses for 3/1
Wow. I am sick a dog, folks. Dog sick. Yik sick. But no! I got to work everyday, I do my duty and neither rain, nor cold, nor back pain or unpleasant illness nor misspelling or improper names of creators and the humiliation that follows will keep me from my appointed rounds! Read on and know that my spell checker kicked out on me and that it is indeed 3am and my head is splitting. Snap judgments indeed.
Snap Judgments that were.... just lost by my editing program.
This is not my week. BUT! Tomorrow morning! When I am sane and I have thrashed this laptop within an inch of its life and can remove the lower half of my body from the rest of myself, THEN! Then oh the reviews you will have. Everyone's name will be correct and the spelling will be impeccable and light will shine down from the heavens in awesome comic book enlightenment and the angels will sing and.... oh dear god, I'm exausted.
My Best Attempts
Dave's Long Box: Linkblogging for beginners
A link for linkblogging about linkbloging? Ehh? Ehh?? I'm absolutely certian people out there do it bigger and better so thus, my links are shallow and small. I'm just going to stick with reviewing comics you have't read yet.
Or.... HAVE YOU!??!
*dramatic music sting here*
I mean, why not?
Hey, everyone else seems to be doing the comic blog thing and boy howdy, do I have a lot of stuff to say. I also find myself in a unique position (or at least, I like to think of it as unique). I'm currently employed at the local comic shop (in fact, the only one in town!) and I get quite the gamut of comic talk to the intensely in-depth, the heart-pouringly passionate to 'I used to have all of these books when I was a kid!'
(by the way, no one ever needs to say that phrase in a comic shop ever. EVER. Unless those are actually the books we bought from you. )
So, I'm going to say a few things, share my thoughts and regurgitate my rants up for the world to see (well, actually not the world as my little corner of the internet is rather dark and dank with little spiders in the corners and-... sorry. Just kinda empty.) Hey, if I ever say anything you agree with (or not, which will most likely be the case) drop a comment and let me know. Otherwise, relax. Enjoy the pretense.
Whatchu Gonna Do?
Okay, I'm sick, my computer's sick and there's no reviews for last week's previews. And as I vaccumed to open the store this morning, I thought about how I was going to justify it to myself that I failed in my New Year's Resolution (which was, to review the Preview Books every week). And then I saw it.
You know, I can give any answer I want. If I complain or even point it out, I can just pull an answer out of nowhere and say I meant to do that all along. In fact, the reviews were there, you just couldn't read them due to a silicone-based something or other I *always* keep on me.
So there. Are you going to argue with that logic? Especially with Peter and Tony there staring you down? I don't think so.
Man, I got carry this picture with me everywhere.
Seriously though, new Preview Books in, reviews already on their way.
(and yeah, my scanner's on the fritz so the image isn't that great, but... I meant to do that.
)
