I'm going to start running again this week. I'm quite excited.

"Hard Time" (DC Comics)

Really terrible. I chose it because of the cover art, which is Vertigo-style hues. The inside is a sort of uh... commentary on the Columbine massacre. It's insultingly poorly done, though. Tries too hard to be edgy.



"My Faith in Frankie" (Vertigo DC)

4-part series about Frankie, who has her own personal God. He's a little overprotective, which leads to some problems when she wants to experiment sexually as a teenager. Cute, girl-manga influenced (but not exactly styled) story and art. The art reminds me of the guy who did The Maxx, but a little cleaner. The writing and story is tightly assembled - the whole thing fits together excellently. My only complaint is that the ending felt a bit tacked-on.

I especially enjoyed it because it was intelligent without being sad or pretentious.



"Oh My Goddess!" (Dark Horse)

Wow, haven't read this since I was in my teens.. The art is a lot less impressive than I remember. Maybe it's because these issues are late in the series (post-100) but it also could be because I've seen a lot more now. Belldandy was completely unrealistic in an enjoyable way when I was younger. Now, the whole thing is a bit dull. I really wish she would get angry and hurt someone.

i'm removing everyone and anyone who transports twitter posts to lj from my friends list.

nothing personal.
