The Far Corners of the Mind

I completed the Marvel Chronicle, which I got for Christmas from Steffanie (among a plethora of other gifts). Nearly seventy years of publishing trends, character histories, and intra-company events. I have come away with it with an improved knowledge of some Marvel characters, a better understanding about some of the numbering systems, and more. What's more, I got somewhat of a firsthand look at how publishing has changed over the years, and how national and global events have an impact on something so presumably as insignificant as comic books.

I am moving on in my literary journey...I stole the Avengers/X-Men Bloodties trade from Daniel, which I will be reading next, before moving into either the next MTG Ravnica Cycle book, or possibly Another Lost Angel, the author of which I met while working at a comic book store.

In the meantime, I feel obliged to borrow from The Man, and end this with Excelcior!
