DC Comics – A comic book a day

Heroes in Crisis is definitely my favorite ongoing miniseries. Made that conclusion after reading issue 4 today. I like everything about it — the dialogue, the pacing, the artwork. Clay Mann really has this talent of making his female look sexy and vicious, damaged and beautiful. Girls I want to save from themselves.

Terrible news: my brother’s best friend died today. Late thirties, felled by hypertension. A burst vein in the head, according to info reaching my brother, who is in the Middle East. I didn’t know the guy personally, but his death had this chilling effect on me. News of someone so young kicking the bucket is not the kind of news I want to hear on the eve of my 40th name day.

Ah, well. Life goes on.

Saw my first movie for the year: First Reformed. Ethan Hawke as a reverend experiencing spiritual crisis. Movie’s OK, but fuck that ending. I was expecting something, uhm, explosive.

Also today: finally bought the missus her belated Xmas gift: Sony earphones she can use while working out. Exactly what she wished for.

Yay! And another workweek comes to an end.

Pushed to Filbar’s in Megamall after work today for my first comic pickups for the year. Figured it was a good day for it as there were still fewer people out and therefore fewer vehicles on the streets — one of those extremely rare days when it can be said that commuting is a “breeze.” Reminded myself not to enjoy it too much.

Anyway, new comic books are in. Of the bunch I’m most excited to read Heroes in Crisis #4.

Back home I put my father cap on and helped the kiddo with her lessons. It was a difficult task as the subject was Math. Turned out passionate dislike for numbers and computation runs in the blood. Needless to say, I don’t think I did a pretty good job as a parent today. Fuck that shit.

Was actually feeling a bit sleepy today so I picked a rather aggressive jam: Metallica’s Hardwired… to Self-Destruct.
