I’ve decided to work on a new blog, Define Your Colors: it’s a fairly specific site, of interest only to Web geeks, and deals with a problem that’s a particular pet peeve of mine. You can read more about Define Your Colors in the first post on the site.

I will still be posting my comic thoughts here when they hit me, though. And it is likely that some sites currently on my blogroll will be making an appearance on Define Your Colors. So everyone check their stylesheets before I do!

Just plugging one of my favorite web comics: The Non-Adventures of Wonderella. Funny, with many comic in-jokes and cameos. Updates on Saturdays and always makes me chuckle.

Holy crap, my comics pull for the week ended up over 30 dollars, and I wasn’t able to find all I wanted. Hoping to do a big Nightwing review once I’ve re-read the arc. But before that, I must share my toy experiences over the past few days.

While in the grocery store, I noticed that there was new Pez! Well, sort of. There were all the stupid Kung-Fu Panda Pez (wasn’t there some rule about the characters needing to be around for a decade before becoming Pez dispensers? Now every crappy movie has a Pez tie-in. Anyhoo.). But Laurajean, my wife, bless her, went straight for the new Batman Pez: Batman, Riddler, Joker and Two-Face. Pretty cool: having a wife who will buy me Pez is definitely a good thing (even if she doesn’t understand why roleplaying Superman and Supergirl is NOT sexy and IS creepy).

But I haven’t actually been able to enjoy said Pez, because Laurajean keeps opening the packages and eating the Pez. First, Two-Face fell, then the Riddler, then Batman himself. She’s also been putting the Pez in compromising positions, as you can see below:

She blamed the cat. Then said that at least the Joker was wearing protection. I’m not eating that Pez EVER.

While in the local Newbury Comics (I don’t get my comics there, I just like browsing the action figures and such), we found the new Stargate: Atlantis figures. We immediately gravitated to the "Field Ops Teyla." Or, as Laurajean dubbed her, "Bad Hair Day Teyla." Sorry for the poor focus, the lighting was bad. But not as bad as her hair:

I do like Alex Ross’ Krypto:

I’m always running behind. Wanted to get to this earlier, but better late than never. While reading through last week’s haul, there was one panel that amused me more than any others. It’s from Rann-Thanagar: Holy War (man, that war is lasting almost as long as other wars…). It shows that even Aleea and Hawkman can get along, playing a quick game of "I’ve got your beak."
