I’m not digging Khoi Pham. But I like the plot and the script. Especially the line “He alpha flighted ’em.”…

May be becuase I start to wait for trades instead of monthlies, so I only have 3 books to pick.
Blackest Night, Tales of the Corps, and Mighty Avengers.
I got the black ring from my comic book store too. Too bad is not shiny. =(
BQ: I'll pick the racoon. I have no idea who are the other two and rabies is curable. Right?
wow. nice article. if it wasn't for your link from your letter column, I would never get a chance to read this. Since I started mine when i watched the x-men cartoon in the 90s, which let me to collect marvel cards. that's was my first comic book store. i dont even know the name, just somewhere in ozone park, it was 2 subway stations away. eventually i didn't buy my first comic until i there's a new comic book store down the block from my house. even though that is my first lcs that i bought monthlies, but i have lots of bad memories there because it was not a tolerant neighborhood at that time.
the true lcs that i always remember is the chameleon in flushing. back then , the area wasn't considered a chinatown yet. there are so many people visit that store for comics and trading cards. they even have machines for the anime trading cards. i remember i visit there quite often during my high school days and early college years. it sucks that years later, the prices in the area goes up and is taken over by more chinese establishments and become the 3rd chinatown in nyc. it sucks that i don't see CLS in my neighborhood of north queens anymore, but i do live near by the lirr station to get to the city. i love the fact that we have stores like midtown and jim hanley's. it is so easy to get there.
even though i still get to go to a store and get my books, but i do miss chameleon. that is always the special place to me.
man. i just enjoy these discussions about superhero powers. i love this site. =)
so cyclops' power is actually a concussive energy beam, which in wolverine movie was messed up. They should have brought bj abrams or singer to do the movie. As for the LCS, I'm just glad that I live in NYC. Even though there are not that many LCS in my area of Queens, at least public transportation helped me to be able to go to the big ones in the city. And with people are more acceptable toward comic books, i'm not embarrassed to read them on subway anymore. =)
