Comic Books

Since I'm behind

Some comic book reviews for no one to ponder.


V For Vendetta HC collected New Edition- It seems that every Alan Moore story I read I'm never to sure about at the beginning. At first it was a little out there for me.....maybe I just wasn't getting IT? And it didn't help that it was set in England, and I know next to nothing about British politics or history. But I cannot stop reading something because of my own ignorance. But then it started to pick up pace and I started understanding what he was trying to get across. Maybe not all of it but it was slowly seeping into my head. This is one of those stories that you may be able to get on a basic level at first, but to comprehend it deeply it takes a while. I will go ahead and put this in the same category as 1984 and Brave New World. As far as tone goes in falls somewhere in between those two, but as far as affect on me I would have to trend it toward 1984. This was a supremely well written and well illustrated book. It's a strange book though, more akin to a serious novel than a comic book. And the description "Comic Book" is very inadequate. It's a little slow, very little action. But it will probbly be the best thing I have read this year. I really can't say enough good things about this book. Only a couple of problems plot wise, but all and all it was incredible. Would recommend anyone to read it, not just Comic Book fans.



Batman Gotham County Line #2- Batman and zombies!!! This is pretty good, nothing that I just can't wait until I pull it off the stack to read. But is a decent read, the art is good. Niles is writing it so you know its solid. I'm sure ill appreciate this issue more after the story is over though. It has a lot of intrigue and unanswered questions....so its worth readin.


I read a couple more things but I will post those later for the 0 people that care about this!




Comic Books

Seattle was great!

Hey I was just going around online reading some history of Grunge Music and stuff....and there is a lot of good info out there.......Witch led me to think that there needs to be some sort of large book published about the history of Grunge....

One of the quotes was pretty good it went something like this "Grunge could not have sustained its self because the very performers shunned big time exposure and big corporate labels....so in essence they didn't want to become huge, so the big record labels went and found someone who wanted to be big...ala stadium rock"

I thought that was a pretty good assessment of what happened. These artists didn't want to let "the man" dictate what they wanted to do, and it seemed they really didn't care how many people listened to them. Witch is partly the reason they were so appealing. Its funny that most of those artists don't really care that they aren't big anymore, some of them went to college after they realized what the music biz was all about!! I also found it interesting that the reason a lot of these people made the music they did was because of the 80's heavy metal and how much they wanted something different. Now we have the corporate machine that churns out crap that fills stadiums at an alarming pace I hope something akin to the Grunge movement happens again soon, but I don't think there is much hope in that.

But I was always wondering how these guys got big, and I read that it was all about independent labels. I always wondered how a big label would have ever signed the Screaming Trees. Now I know how....They didn't!

Anyway just rambling about nothing...


Music

Something to think about.

Found this over at Warren Ellis site witch links to another live journel, the orginal is here.

Paraphrased as :

i’ve tried to explain this to people before but no one seems to understand what i mean when i say we are a generation without secrets. anything anyone could do to us, anything we could do to ourselves has already been splayed out in all its bloody glory on some talk show, or lifetime special, or reality tv. nothing in us is sacred, nothing hides itself away for the sake of staying sacred. we’ve been horrifically exposed and so we know nothing other than how to expose ourselves in the most painful ways.


Now im not young enough to be in the age catogory that she is talking about so im kinda looking at this from the outside in.

But this does answer some questions for me about the mindset of the generation after me. I would like to think that nothing shocks me anymore......but some stuff still does. Witch I'm guessing I can tolerate a lot more than my parrents can take. So for these young kids now "nothing is shocking". Now pair that with a complete lack of trust in anything, and heap on a bunch of technology making it possible to become nameless and ananonymous in a large digital world.....without acountablity. This paints a frighteningly bleak picture of the future leaders. Not that I'm saying they do this on purpose or they need to "wake up" or "snap out of it" becuase I'm not. It's just that I may be the first one to belive that the generation after mine has it harder that I did. I mean they bascailly breed depresion from an early age now, they get pumped full of pills if they don't act right. All we got was a smack on the ass. And I have a child who is going to grow up with these people running shit. I really hope some things change but I fear they won't...Who knows. I'm just blatheringng away. Just something to think about.

I guess I'm crazier than I thought

I guess I'm subconsciously thinking about Guns and Ammo today. I did do some Christmas shopping last night so I guess that could be right.



Your mind is subconciously thinking about Guns and
Ammo.
