Who's who in the Comics Bulletin Universe - Update 2008
Who is... Michael A. Diaz?
Michael Diaz lives in Michigan, but don't hold that against him.
There he works as a Sys. Admin. while fostering dreams of one day becoming a "real" writer.
Most importantly, Michael is seriously addicted to comics, something that his wonderful wife tolerates with the patience of a saint.
He also writes this weekly column that people occasionally read.
"[O]ne of the most positive
and entertaining columns going."
- Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Villains United)
WLG #191: Cliff's Notes Version
Another late night at work has kept me from writing a proper column. In fact, I'm not even done with work. Sure, I left work, but in a little bit I have to jump into a couple of our servers to do some maintenance while users are off of the system.
It's going to be a late night for Michael.
And yet I find myself feeling guilty for not having the time this week to write a proper column. I looked back at the last few months and have seen that I have had many reasons not to write one.
Well, here would be another one but I have decided that tonight I have to post something. Mind you, this isn't a full column, but like I said, I got sick of leaving you readers out there with nothing. So, in much abridged form, here's What Looks Good...
GARTH ENNIS CHRONICLES OF WORMWOOD #2 (OF 6) (MR) $3.99
The anti-Christ hanging out with a brain-damaged Jesus Christ when Poppa Satan shows up at the end of the book to check in on his boy?
Offensive? Probably to many, but for me I just can't drool enough.
GREEN ARROW #72 $2.99
I love Green Arrow as written by Winick, what more can I say?
GRIFTER MIDNIGHTER #1 (OF 6) $2.99
First off, I LOVE Grifter. He is by FAR my favorite of all of the WildStorm characters. True, Midnighter is up there as well, but when it comes down to it I will always love me some Grifter. ALWAYS.
STORMWATCH PHD #5 $2.99
I have loved StormWatch in all of its incarnation and this version is certainly no different. Different from your usual comics, but then again, that's why I like it.
Sorry for the all too short week this week but work has been a bear as of late. Part of me wants it to slow down so that I can catch up on things but part of me likes the fact that I am getting the chance to prove my worth to this company; after all, I do hope to be here for a long while.
But enough about me. Was there something that did it for you this week? If so, stop by the What Looks Good message boards (see link below) and spread the love, my friend.
Until then,
Peace!
