03/18/2003: escapism
...is sometimes a good thing, especially when reading news (or even worse watching them on tv) is as frelling depressing as right now. The main point of this post is to try to get back to that happy space I inhabited this afternoon after unpacking the package with comics that arrived (that also happened to be before I had read online news).
Anyway, I got
Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying
Nightwing: Rough Justice
Essential Spider-Man 2
Also now that Nightwing: Rough Justice finally arrived, I can look forward to reading Nightwing: Love and Bullets and Nightwing: A Darker Shade of Justice as well, which I bought a bit over two weeks ago, when I saw them at a reduced price and got them cheaper. But I didn't want to read with huge gaps. I guess I can live with skipping Nightwing #19 and #20 (which seem to have been part of some crossover called Cataclysm, I think that's part of the Earthquake story) and #23 (probably also part of some crossover that I'm not aware of). I think I'll get at least the Earthquake stories at some point in the future since it seems pretty relevant, but for now there's going to be one more "placeholder" in my head, like "Earthquake story followed by No Man's Land goes here" just as I have one for "Bane, Knightfall and Azrael replacement here" and for other stuff as well, like all the Teen Titans things I heard about with Dick marrying aliens and stuff.
So I'm going to spend some considerable quality time with costumed characters in tights over the next few days, thus being in a much happier place than the here and now -- okay, it's Gotham, still it results in me being in a happier headspace.
