Okay, so maybe Superman Returns wasn't so wrong after all.

A little help from my friends
So I gave away my copy of the All Star Superman vol 1 hardcover, thinking, "oh, i'll just run out and get another" only to discover it's out of print and none of my local shops have it. Go to amazon and the sellers there want at least twice retail. Can any one help a brother out? you can email me at accident79@gmail.com

Skynet and I are done professionally.
I stole that title from my buddy Andy. Any who, in honor of how freaking terrible Terminator: Salvation is, an extra length haiku review special, the Superman Vs Terminator mini series.
Number 1:
This young Connor is
even dumber than Furlong.
An accomplishment
Cyborg Superman
is in cahoots with Skynet.
A bit on the nose.
Number 2:
This future world's Steel
is very very stupid.
He had it coming.
Supes trapped; kept alive.
Logical machines would kill.
Plot holes aplenty.
Number 3:
Kal saves future.
John Connor is a footnote,
just like Salvation.
Sub plot featuring
Superboy and Supergirl
Redefines "filler."
Number 4:
Is that what it's like
when cyborgs do the nasty?
A world of ew, man.
A door is left wide
for a possible sequel.
Please close it right now.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
This nice lady did it. You should give her money and let her draw on you.
That is me. Hello. This may be the first time you guys have seen me. My arm is not that fat, it' s weird angle. My body is that fat, cause I like pizza. The orange and blue blob on the desk is Ben Grimm. The tattoo is in Kryptonian. It took just under two hours. It looks much better in person, as it's not photographing well because it's shiny with moisturizer so you can't see how sharp it is. It's still healing and itches like crazy. No it didn't hurt that much. My roommates do not approve. My work buddies do. My penpal was very, very surprised. I like it quite a lot.

What I've been up to
Most of my posts have been quickies and links to other sites lately. But not because I'm lazy, i swear! Real life has been hectic lately. I've been spending a lot less time at home. But my loyal readers are not forgotten! Neither one of you!
Some things I've been doing instead of updating in the last month or so:
I got this!
It's my favorite silver age story ever. I've wanted it since I saw one on the wall of a local comic shop for $300 in 1993 after reading about it in an article in Wizard that had several writers mention it as one of their favorite Superman stories. I don't think owning any comic short of an Action #1 could make me happier, and i got it for waaaaaaaaay less than $300. It's one of three Superman items I've wanted since i was 14 but couldn't find in my price range (the other two being a copy of George Lowther's novel and a Mego Supes in really good shape. I got the novel; the mego still eludes me.)
Let's see, I met David Mack at a con and got to thank him for participating in last year's charity fundraiser in person. He is one of the most amazingly nice guys you will ever meet.
This is the Superman he did for the auction. When Warner Bros made me pull the DC stuff I was going to return this to him, but he very generously let me keep it. I'm almost no longer bitter about my ex stealing all my Kabuki books as a result. No, I'm still bitter. I miss those.
Also at that con I bought a copy of At Earth's End for a quarter. It's part of my new campaign to collect every single copy of that book ever produced and mail them back to DC with a letter demanding a formal apology.
I met a girl. She's nice and has twice tried to steal SUPERDINO.
I'm working A LOT more. Nights at that. It stinks and I'm tired a lot and my work buddies keep tying to convince me to get a tattoo despite the fact that I'm 30 and that's way too old for the first tattoo.
There's been a lot of time spent with my family. Dwindling as we are we've all been making more time for one another.
I got a new pair of Converse All Stars. No one likes them but me because they are brown.
I finally found copies of two out of print Superman trade paperbacks I've been looking for, Eradication and Critical Condition. I'm very happy to finally have those.
And that's about it. Lots of nights out with friends, lots of working, lots of geek stuff. Same as it ever was, just more of it.
Also, I staged a fight between Wolverine, Storm Shadow and Boba Fett. The awesomeness was so much that it created its own gravity well and there was a partial multiverse collapse.
