This is great news. This is my favorite new fall show. Though slow at times, I can't help getting sucked into it. It's a good reason to look forward to Mondays, or at least Monday nights. Like a lot of people, my favorite is Hiro, the Japanese kid who can travel through time and space. I could care less about the indestructible cheerleader though, unfortunately. The cliffhanger at the end of episode 2 was great. And I like the addition of the LAPD psychic cop. So with NBC picking up the show for a full season, there will be a lot of room for this show to grow into something really cool. Like comics, this show and others like it, Lost for example, are about groups of people working together and you can obviously see Heroes is working towards that with plently of bumps along the way. That's why I've always preferred X-Men to Batman but there are always exceptions.

So I've been keeping up with Marvel's crossover event Civil War and it hasn't been cheap. The only ones I'm really invested in are the main title, Civil War, New Avengers, Wolverine, X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man and Frontline. It seems that Wolverine has been mostly style over substance. The art is flashy but it doesn't have the story that earlier storylines had like Enemy of the State or Agent of Shield. I've never been a big Spider-Man fan and can count the number of issues on one hand but the Civil War tie-ins are really good with how he deals with the major revelation at the end of Civil War no. 2. It's great to see 4 of the original 5 X-Men team up on a mission in Civil War: X-Men. That's been a lot of fun to read. New Avengers is focusing on individual members of the team and how they've dealt with the situation. My favorite character throughout this event has to be Captain America. He believes that what he's doing is right despite the public outcry and decisions by the government. Next to the main title, Frontline has been my favorite. It has a few different tales in each comic from a variety of points-of-view. It's an inside and behind-the-scenes look at what's going on in the Marvel Universe.

So it's only been 3 months since my last post. I apologize to everyone that hasn't been reading this. Anyway, I do enjoy writing about comics, movies and TV and there really isn't anyone around that I can talk geek with so this was my only outlet. Not much has happened in my life in the past few months. One thing that has changed in the last month or so is the amount of disposable income I have to blow on the newest DVD, item of interest, etc. If any of you have heard of Dave Ramsey you'll know what I'm talking about. I still have money to blow but it's spent less often and there's less of it to spend. All so that my wife and I can become debt free in a couple years by paying off our car and student loans as quick as we can.

Anyway, I'll be back to posting on the news you need to know in the world of geekdom and nerdtopia. That's the goal anyway.
