Jake's Buy List

Ready? Okay, here it comes.

Fables #48 - This should be the start of the "We gotta go find Bigby" story arc, right? This should kick more ass than Jeff Speakman in "Perfect Weapon," costarring two-time Emmy nominee Mariska Hargitay.

I only used that reference because I've been trying to remember the name of that movie for more than a week, most of which was spent singing snippets of "I've Got the Power" by Snap (which was the film's theme song).

Ultimate Spider-Man #93 - I'm not hating this storyline yet, but I'm pretty sure that's going to change in about 24 hours.

Yup, that's it. I suppose that's a good thing though. I have two and a half volumes of Essential Fantastic Four, Essential Tomb of Dracula #1, Essential Iron Man #3, and Ed Brubaker's run of Captain America all sitting in my to-be-read pile.

I think you have Essential Iron Man vol. 2, if it's the one I gave you. If you do in fact have a preview copy of vol. 3, then you'd better lock your doors and windows because I'm going to have to hunt you down and kill you. :-)

Really? I'm not sure. Which is the one with the bombastic, over-the-top Stan Lee dialogue where we're reminded every two pages that Happy risked his own life to save Tony Stark so now Tony must be willing to make the same sacrafice and that if his armor's transistors run out of power he'll certainly die?

All of them? Oh.

The thing I've learned recently is that a little Stan Lee goes a long way. I can read 100 pages of Tomb of Dracula in the time it takes to get through an 20 of Iron Man fighting the Freak or Johnny Storm finding Namor in a homeless shelter.
