Here are some of my favorite comics from college. That is when I started collecting again. But these comics are new. They have been re-launched. The teams have changed, the missions have changed and the artists have changed. I really liked these books back in college and would visit a couple of comic shops in New Hampshire. There was Hammer’s, Storytellers and another one on Elm Street (actually there were two) and one on Second Street. Now the only shop worth mentioning is owned by a friend who used to frequent the same places that I did. That shop is Double Midnight comics. If you are in the Manchester Area you should see these guys for your books. The shop is the best one I’ve ever been to. It is worth a look.

Check out these titles too. Wildcats is back, so is Stormwatch, Wetworks, and Gen13. They were hot once and look to be hot again.

Monday 11/20/06 Hs/Ss Recap

How I Met Your Mother – This was a very fun episode. I think it was the physical humor of the episode that really got me. Barney and Marshall and their slapbet. That was fantastic. The first slap from Marshall to Barney and Barney’s face getting all read. Then finding out that Marshall gave his slap prematurely and Barney hitting him with the 3 rapid fire slaps. The end was awesome because now you have no idea when the slaps are coming to Barney and their are four left. This makes for a funny random thing in future episodes. The Robin Sparkles video is such a funny one. The fact that the 80’s came to Canada in ’93 is also very funny. I love how they gently poke fun at Canada. I love Canada but it is fun the things that they come up with.

How I Met Your Mother – I’m generally opposed to violence, but the slapbet was hysterical! I love it! Watching Barney be all twitchy was sooo funny!! And Robin’s big secret was so funny. This show is one of the best sitcoms out there.

The Class – Yonk is a buffoon. But that makes for a good character for Duncan to play off of. I wonder what broke those Duncan and Nicole up. Duncan’s mother was funny, you know she is going to spill it all eventually. The dinner at Holly’s was a riot with the “They marry their fathers” line and then Holly’s father, it was just too funny. The situation between Richie and Lina is tearing Allison up. We both feel that what he did was wrong but we want them to be together. I loved the Pamming of Ethan. That was too funny. Poor guy, for all the hurt he has gone through he and Kat had better get together.

The Class – Drew is right, Yonk is a buffoon. Come on, his name is Yonk! He doesn’t deserve Nicole! And Holly’s father and husband being in charge of the Thanksgiving dinner, too funny! I laughed out loud at several moments of this episode. “Let me get this right, you want to know if Perry is a little light in his loafers, or if it’s just you….” I was crying. And this whole Richie/Lina thing needs to be resolved. I think the best was the Pam-ing of Ethan. Poor Ethan, always in the wrong place at the wrong time!!

Heroes – Okay so I was wrong about a theory that Peter Petrelli would become Sylar. Last night cleared up many questions however left us with more. Did the future actually get changed? Where is Hiro? When is Hiro? Will the bullet pass right through D.L.? I think yes. I really do not like Nathan. I don’t, I just don’t. Poor Ando I wanted him to step up but he did not. The storyline with Suresh is interesting, and their was no mention of Matt this week. I really am enjoying this show. What is up with Eden and the negation dude? Were they betraying Claire’s father or was their objective to capture Sylar?

Heroes – I really enjoyed the show, but I was expecting more people with powers to gather together to save the cheerleader. I hope that Peter will not get pinned as Sylar. It’s an interesting show. I can’t believe I’ve been sucked in.

CSI Miami – I fell asleep.

CSI Miami – This was a pretty good episode. Not a ton of character development. It was intersting, Caine stood at a funny angle to talk to people and made threats to all suspects while talking to the floor. Oh yeah, and he used everyone’s name too many times to sound normal when he addressed them. “Andrew, you aren’t being totally truthful with me, are you Andrew?” His mannerisms are too funny.
