comics, etc.

i got some comics yesterday, primarily to kill some time before scott pilgrim volume 2 comes out. :) i really am enjoying the current storylines of fables and finder, and i even like plastic man these days (sometimes reading something goofy is fun!). and the nice nice nice andrew gave me some comics from free comic book day, whihc of course i missed b/c i was finishing up one final project or another--the comic festival book, featuring canadian artists, was definitely a highlight (and not just b/c there was a scott pilgrim story). i also really enjoyed the couple issues of kevin huizenga's or else that i picked up--i like his art, especially.

however, i really did not like this one book from oni that i picked up, which is totally disappointing, since oni is one of my favorite publishers. it was called f-stop and was about a wannabe photographer and some models and blah. they were all drawn with these huge chins, like caricatures of jay leno, and there was no characterization to speak of. onto the discard pile with you!

it looks like rain today, which means i'll probably get some spinning done this afternoon--or some reading. or both! i have been dissatisfied with my to-read pile, which means i should go to the library and not spend all my grocery money on books, as tempting as it is to just walk over to nice price and browse. then i can start hunting down the books you all have been kind enough to recommend--and more recommendations are always welcome. :)
