All the Rage

Status updates. 

Sept. 30. Avengers # 30. Really, that's an AvX tie-in? A double-page spread of the heroes fighting the Phoenixes, then 18 pages of Hawkeye and Spider-Woman bickering while dealing with Mr. Negative and his goons? Yecch.
Wolverine and the X-Men # 17, while not a tie-in, is pretty awesome. It's a Doop-centric story and Mike Allred's the guest artist! Also enjoyed the latest Avengers Academy issue. Sad that it's getting canceled. I'm gonna miss that title.

Oct. 3. Meanwhile, the RH Bill and the Anti-Discrimination Bill are gathering dust and cobwebs.

Oct. 3. Bought Perks of Being a Wallflower book. Bawled and laughed just a few pages into it. Precious and powerful.

Oct. 4. Avengers Vs. X-Men # 12. Okay, no spoilers. It's pretty bittersweet; figured it would end that way. As for the side that won, that was made clear about three issues back, and when Marvel announced a bunch of new and revamped books. Glad that it's over.
There's sort of an AvX-ish issue of Avengers Academy out now, too, guest-starring the Jean Grey School kids. Again, I'm gonna miss this consistently fun title. One issue left.

Oct. 6. Saw horrific Halloween bogeymen masks at the mall. None of lying, thieving, incompetent politicians, though.
