New Site

I now have the blog set up at http://astranoir.com
There are some issues with it (no posts from before today show comments) but hopefully it will work out well in the long run.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Free Comic Book Day: Comics

As was intended, Kes and I picked up some free comics, and we purchased a couple things.  We ended up only stopping by Rock Bottom instead of checking out Hastings and Vintage Stock too.

Kes brought Superman, X-Men and Spiderman to work with him to read on his break.  I read through the rest.  Green Hornet was interesting, but too preview-y for me to get much out of it.  I enjoyed Iron Man the most.

Kes picked up Chew for me as an early birthday present.  I haven’t gotten to read through it yet, but I’ve been in the mood for something mystery-oriented.  I grabbed the lantern corps buttons.  Honestly, I’m not sure what to put them on, but I like having them.

We also picked up a flyer for the Little Rock Comic Con, which we had never heard of before.  Apparently it used to be known as the “comic book cult.”  From their site, I’m not sure what to think, especially since their flyer had a picture from the Iron Man 2 movie instead of something from a print comic book.  Only $3 admission, though.

There are probably going to be big changes coming to my blog soon.  I’ll try to keep you updated through the upcoming week.

Free Comic Book Day

Don’t forget that today is Free Comic Book Day!  If I’m able to pick anything up, I’ll post what I got.  The first year I went, I really wanted Flight.  Last year I was most excited about the Blackest Night (issue 0 or whatever it was).  This year I don’t know if I’m really looking forward to anything.   Too bad none of the places around here ever get the free Heroclix.  War Machine looks cool this year.

Happy May Day/Beltane as well!  Here’s the view from my balcony this morning:
