Favorite comic book quote of the day

This one is from Marvel. I’ve started collecting, but not read Ed Brubaker’s mini and regular series run on Captain America. I vaguely remembered this quote and had it confirmed through a few Web browses from Frank Miller’s run on Daredevil:

“I’m loyal to nothing…except the Dream.”

– Captain America

Spider-woman

Marvel editor Joe Quesada just revealed the preview trailer for the “Spider-Woman” motion comic. Really like the concept and the set up. The Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev story looks fantastic. Can’t wait to consume it.

Day gone bye

Put sibling on phone plan so she too could have much iPhone love. Her envy was too much.

Went to gym. Ran 7 mph for 20 minutes on treadmill non-stop. Did three types of ab exercises. Am getting buff. Well, at least in better shape.

Went to grocery store. Bought groceries. Splurged on fresh blueberries. Love blueberries.

Went to Target and bought Roman blinds. Wondered what made them Roman in isle. Made by gladiators perhaps?

Visited comic book store. Rarely do this. Am sort of poor. Usually request bound volumes at local library, then check out. Figure a few young nerds are also getting the bug out of the deal. Helping artists the best way possible, for the moment.

Bought:

Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead vol. 6

Issue 62 of The Walking Dead

Detective Comics 854

Unknown Soldier, Issue 9

Digging Batwoman, beyond the saucy remarks. Loved J.H. Williams work since his collaboration with James Robinson on Starman. (kind of stoked about the Omnibus still needing to purchase. Starman was a fan fave between fellow geeks during college.) Kane is a cool heroine, well written and smart.

As discussed with comic store guy behind the counter, The Walking Dead is one of the best comics going right now. Just hoping to catch up now through volumes if wallet will hold out.

There were books that will need to be picked up later. Ed Brubaker’s Captain American: Reborn. Some Ellis stuff. And more Queen and Country.

Surely this list will grow. May the library help.
