Comic Book Day!

Just like every Wednesday, today is "Comic Book Day", where I go and pick up my comic books for the week.

DC's "Countdown" is turning out to be another surprisingly great read. Surprising because it comes out EVERY WEEK. The storyline is set to establish the DC Universe (or should I say "multi-verse") after the huge events of last year's weekly event comic, "52".
I'm particularily interested in what's happening with Mary Marvel. She's a 4th string DC character connected to "Captain Marvel" (Shazam!) that DC seems to be upgrading in some way.

This is something I always enjoy watching DC do. Taking a character from their rich history that's faded and lost its glory, and re-making them into something exciting and knew, while paying tribute and always remembering what has gone before. It's the "Legacy Factor", as I might call it. And DC has got it in spades.

Today I'll also be scoping out back issues of "Solar, Man Of The Atom" and looking for the best price I can find on issue number one. I just recently became interested in this book (as I mentioned here last time) and am hoping to colloect the back issues without paying out the ear.

Wish me luck!
