Catching up with the rest of the herd...

Ok, a few items to "catch up" with things that other folks have been chatting about/discussing over the past few days, then onto new stuff...

1. I liked Infinite Crisis. A lot. In fact, my buddy Rob and I geeked over each issue. Lots of "What about ____?" moments. Have I read it all in one sitting? Nope. I won't have that kind of time until the 2nd week of June. But I'm going to then. And I'm reasonably sure I'll still enjoy it. Which doesn't invalidate the opinions of (seemingly) everyone who didn't like it. It just makes theirs different from mine.

2. I don't know Joe Quesada, but he seems to spend a lot of time defending a position that doesn't need defending. He doesn't like Peter and MJ being married? Great. Again, he's entitled to his opinion. But his justification for his position, that there are no stories about "Married Peter" that can't be told with "Single Peter", isn't a very good one. One of the respondants to the discussion over at Comics Should Be Good offered the idea of Anniversary stories as one example. I don't have an opinion either way, because I'm not the target audience anymore, I guess, being 34 years old and married with kids. Joe's opinion is valid as is, simply because it's his opinion. We don't have to like it (and it seems like most people don't), it is what it is.

3. I would have liked Desolation Jones #6 a whole lot more if I could remember who the hell everyone was. That could be a function of one or more of the following:
A. Bi-monthly publication schedule
B. A weak story (unlikely, really, but a possibility)
C. I just read too many damn comics

4. I really like pizza. That doesn't really have anything to do with anything else being discussed here, but I thought I'd share.

Peace (or piece, as the case may be...)
