I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Superman #654 - DC
This issue is set up as a "day in the life" story. Basically it's a Monday, it's an anniversary for Lois and Superman, and both Superman and Clark have about a 100 things to do today. So we get to see Superman and Clark multitask to try to get all the items done. Of course Supermans things are the endless obstacles that are thrown at him because of who he is. Most of them on this day seem to be coming from Intergang. Most of the things Clark has to do are things for his job as a reporter, because Perry, who got used to his exemplary performance in the last year, refuses to let Clark become average again. Also he dangles 2 big stories in front of him that he says he'll only give him tomorrow, if he can get everything on his list accomplished today. It kinda' ends up that the only person he lets down is Lois, because he misses their breakfast in bed, a lunch appointment, and the chance to do anything special for their anniversary. But in the end Lois comes to his rescue. The things he couldn't get done, she finishes for him because "You save millions of people on a regular basis . . . . so if I get the save you once in a while, it's only fair". Gotta love the woman. Wish all us men could have wives like that. Anyways, this issue starts Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco's run on the book. If this is how it's gonna' be, it couldn't be in better hands.
