The Day the Earth Stood and Said "What the *&)*^!"

Man it is pretty late for me and I am very tired. I want to go to bed soon. But for my faithfuls out there who care about my world, I had to fill y'all in on my day. It was a boring one. I got up, went to school, got comics, and went to church. Today was a good week for comics. I got the final issue of Michael Turner's Batman/Superman run. It will be sad to see him leave the title because he is such an amazing artist. It is nice to see him bring back a Supergirl who is Kryptonian though. It is nice to see them hopefully not screw around anymore with the Supergirl character. After 3 different ones since '87, I'm hoping to see one that will stick around for a while. I got the end of the Avengers Dissasemble today and it was a week of endings in comics. Avengers was crazy because normally I can pick up on mysteries fairly early and nail whodunnit. This wasn't the case this time. The whole 4 part story, which starts in a Avengers #500, take place over 1 day and in that day 4 teammates die, everyone who was ever an Avenger EVER comes to the hq, they are attacked by aliens, Dr. Strange comes and pays them a visit, and all this happens because of a betrayal of a teammate. She-Hulk went crazy also and ripped apart the android Vision. That whole series was pretty crazy and it was one of the best stories I've read in a long, long time. Probally since 2002-2003's Batman: Hush. I won't even get into what that story was like. I say even if you don't know or like Batman, you will like that story just because of how good of a mystery it is. In that mystery I nailed whodunnit right on the head in part 4 or 5 and I went back and read it again. It always cool the things you pick up in the 2nd reading of things because you know how they will effect the story and you see things being foreshadowed that you didn't see before. You sit and go "Oh I should have seen this because this contributes to..." I can't wait till next week because of the mystery of Identity Crisis. This is the event of the year in comics because they have killed 2 important people in the lives of super-heroes. The murderer goes for the loved ones of heroes as opposed to the hero themselves. Everyone is involved in this story so far. They have from the Outsiders all the way to the JLA and even the Doom Patrol. Gosh I love comics. I could go on and on for eons about how good of a year this year is for comics and how good comics have been this past week alone. Comics really are my passion and the whole reason for getting into that industry is because I only pick up what I think the good stuff is and that I am too often wrong. It turns out that only about 25% of what I get is really good. I want to up that percentage when I become a writer. I want people to go "Messinger is on this title! It must be good if he is writing it." And I want to not let them down. I want to do this for the fans and give them what they really want. The only reason I want to be a writer is for the fans. Being one myself I think I know what they want but I'm not everyone so I don't know. Well it's 11:00 but I am really tired. Night y'all.
