Ed Brubaker…still the man.

You regular readers will—of course—remember that I am a huge (HUGE!) fan of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ ICON series Criminal, but let me tell you, as I’ve been catching up on comics (I’m a week or so behind) and just read Criminal Vol. 2 #3 which had a bit of semi-silly dialogue that just made me go, “Sh— yeah! This series can be kinda cheesy and still rock!” I mean, I have a Criminal t-shirt and the poster on my wall, so don’t take this in jest when I tell you I love, but laughed out loud at, this line…

Seriously, just one line in a great issue, but I had to give mad-props (yep, I just said “mad-props”) to the Bru for writing that bit of dialogue!

And even more seriously, if you aren’t reading this book on a monthly basis, what the hell is wrong with you?! Dig the scratch out of your couch cushions and pick this up on a monthly basis, it’s well worth it!

My NYCC purchase…

Let it never be said that Jim Gibbons isn’t true to his word! For I have delivered on my promise, I purchased something at New York Comic Con. Get ready to bask in the glory…

Yep, I grabbed up an old school mega-print t-shirt starring Cyclops and Jean Grey (for the record, they are my favorite couple in comic book history). So, just wanted to let ya’ll know I followed through.

I really dig this shirt. It feels like wearing my childhood.

Also, completely free, there’s a little view of my living room and my Criminal #3 poster framed on the wall underneath my armpit there. Is it an original piece of art? Nope…picked it up at Sean Phillips CafePress site…and so can you!
