Rediscovering awesome

I love rediscovering things that were awesome and trying to figure out why I ever put them down. For instance, I picked up "Kill Shakespeare" again last night and started reading where I left off. This comic book is so good! I just don't have the words to express how much I enjoy this story. Granted, if I were a little more well versed in the works of Shakespeare it would probably do a whole lot more for my reading experience. But I am still having a blast reading it, despite that the only things I know about Shakespeare's plays is what I learned in high school.


I am so loving how the story is unfolding. How the characters are interacting with each other, who is loyal to who, who is stabbing someone else in the back, it is just the greatest adventure. I am so glad that I picked it up. And seeing how my life is so busy that I don't get a chance to do a lot of reading, Kill Shakespeare fits right into my schedule.


Something else that I rediscovered...the old episodes of Webcomics Weekly. I went back to episode 45 (the first episode on Libsyn) and died laughing. Literally had the tears in my eyes and couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. Sure I had it before, but it was still hilarious and I enjoyed just as much as I did when I first heard it. Plus, it is kinda weird in a nostalgic type of way to hear those guys talk about technology from three years ago. Sort of boggles the mind to see how far certain things have progressed in such a short time.


Now to complete the trifecta, I have to find an old cd or something that I could not live without that I have set aside. Hehe.

Comic books and anime!

So I finally sat down and read Kill Shakespeare #3 today and it was just oh so good! I absolutely love the writing in this book. I especially love the exchanges with Lady MacBeth. I am not entirely sure what makes me like that character. Maybe it is because she is a strong female character and I can almost see the wheels turning in her head. And the way she is drawn just depicts so much attitude. I like her.


Unfortunately, I did not request Kill Shakespeare #2 for my Comic Pull list in time, so there is a gap in my reading. I am not sure why book 3 starts with Hamlet in a forest or why he is throwing up on some fat man. But it doesn't really matter. I was just as immersed in the story as I was when I first opened book 1. I have Kill Shakespeare #4 sitting here, waiting to be read, but I'm saving it. I feel like a kid who has been giving a whole box full of candy and I don't want to eat it all at once.


Stayed up to wee hours of the morning watching Fairy Tail, an anime that zoomed straight to the top of my awesome list. This is probably the first anime where I want to go out and buy the manga. Just like books are better than movies, I have a feeling that the Fairy Tail manga is better than the anime, and the anime rocks! At least it does in my opinion.


I am really not one who thinks that one anime is like another, but this one feels a little like Naruto (Natsu vs. Grey) and a little like One Piece. But that is fine by me, because I like Naruto and I like One Piece. And of course because I am so girly, I absolutely love Happy, Natsu's flying cat. He is so super cute.
