Boy, it’s been a while since I posted. I was away for Easter (without Mark -- he had to stay home), and I still haven’t figured out how to do my blog on the road. That is one of the first things I am going to work on when I am out of school this summer!
So, I went to visit the family for Easter. I was talking to my nephew, Ben. He was saying how he was looking for a new copy of Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns, the same printing his mom had spilled coffee on way back when. Way back when I had given him a copy, apparently when he was about 10.
I remember reading it back then. I wasn’t a regular comics reader by any stretch of the imagination, but for some reason, I got this book.
Coincidentally, shortly after Ben and I were talking about this (and I was thinking about how totally inappropriate this would have been for a 10 year old), Mark and I watched this week’s episode of the Big Bang Theory. Penny goes with the guys to the comic book store to pick out something for her nephew. The store owner recommends Hellblazer. So, I don’t feel so bad about my choice. Isn’t any Batman better than a smoking, drinking, hanging out with demons magician?
