Can't find time to read some comics

Post by Elveen »

So I just got a few comics form the 'bay... (well actually on Sat.) and I haven't been able to read them yet. (about 12 Astro City books and Top 10 #1-12, and one of my Limited Collectors Editions [Flash v. Supes race]) but before I read them I wanted to finish the EW run I started but.....

I can't seem to find time to read them.

:!: :!: :!: :!: :!:


Listen, I love my wife, I love my children, I even strongly like / love my job, ...... but I can't seem to find anytime to sit down and read a few comic books.

I mean I just wanna lay in bed read about 6 comics in a row.


ya know?

I feel your pain...

perhaps for detention next time, the students should all have to read the Unity saga and each write like a diary kind of thing from a different character's point of view... which, of course, enable you to sit there and read your comics too. :)

I'm guilty of having a BUNCH of valiants that i've not read yet. I know...i just need to make the time and do it. ...I think it'll probably happen during a vacation time. Wouldn't that be wonderful...to have like a week of nothing to do but read comics. I think i could knock out a most of VH1 in that time.

I don't know what books you're currently reading, but you might try to get some of the comic CD or DVD collections and read them on your computer.

Which ones haven't you read? The later issues?? Not something important like Solar 1-10 right?

Ugh, you definitely picked the wrong Acclaim series to start reading. Don't let that sour you on some of the good books they put out, cause they're not as bad as NIO.

I find it harder to save up the money TO BUY the comics.
Gas is a big factor in that.

I need some beano.

Eh, I just wanted to see what Joe St. Pierre did with the concept. Turns out, it is WAYYY far away from what Rai was. The biggest connection is the rising-sun "dots" on the body.

:D
