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.

American Virgin #17 - Vertigo
Adam and Vanessa are in Bangkok now. Vanessa is starting to fray around the edges. Well . . actually, Adam isn't used to living without his conveniences and he's starting to get edgy. In doing so, he's pissing off Vanessa. So they temporarily go their own separate ways. He tries to call his sister to talk about it, but he gets Mel instead. He/she really doesn't help much, other than he/she suggesting that they look for this Shaolin Monk tattoo guy, I guess. Apparently it's a mystical experience, and it helps you to get rid of your inner demons. Which, really, the only one he has right now is Cassie's ghost which just won't leave him alone. So while he's getting the tattoo, as Mel promised, he confronts Cassie and they have sex. Or at least what really, really, feels like sex. Adam is overwhelmed, and then pissed off when he finds out that he's not Cassie's first. She says she knew she was going to die, so she wanted to get it over with before she did. This completely changes his view of her. When they're done having sex, he's able to shut her out of his consciousness. Which is what guys usually do anyways. So I don't know why he's special. So anyways, I don't know the significance of his tattoo yet, but it looks like a Bengal tiger to me, at the base of his spine. He tries to go back to the Hostel where Vanessa is staying. He tells her that he thinks they need to talk. So where does he go from here? Will he ever get laid in the real world? Won't know until next issue.
