I just spent a good half hour or so reading pages of a tread concerning a meeting I went to on Thursday. DC Comics is doing a huge publishing initiative in September, relaunching their entire superhero line. The meeting was to answer questions and clarify some of the steps DC is taking to get the retailers involved.
The thread was started by one of the other retailers that attended and I share many of his same views and excitement. Of course, being the internet, there was much negativity as well. I'll go into that at some other point.
Oh, and I met Jim Lee. Rather, I should say, Jim Lee met me.
For other blurbs:
- I read an article concerning the death of the Geek subculture. I don't agree with it, nor disagree with it for a couple reasons.
- I been finding many things terrible. I think I can do a better job, but am just lazy. This mainly concerns stories, be they comic book, movie or television.
- I spend a lot of time alone. It's not because I don't like you.
- I realized what I wanted to be in high school.
- Dinosaurs!
- I could wax on and off about the current comic book movie phenomenon, but feel that's already beaten to death.
- I still know a great deal about video games without really playing them, save for World of Warcraft.
- Duran Duran's Rio is now stuck in my head for no good reason.
- I want to do something, but am not entirely sure what.
I kind of just wanted to see what to bullet point function looks like. I am very tired and should head to sleep. I should be semi-productive tomorrow. I need an alignment for my car and a hair-cut. Probably not in that order.
