I'm so screwed if I go blind.

So much reading this weekend.

Finally read Impaler. That was pretty solid. I think there's been some actual printed books put out leading up to this story, but I'm a big fan of taking extensive backstory as read. It really kicks in fast and doesn't dwell too much on the side stories. I'm not a huge fan of the ephemeral nature of the vampires, though. And I'm not sure if the repercussions of the final page are handled quite right.. A great read for $10, though.

Also reread House of M. I guess I love the concept, but on it's own as a story arc it doesn't quite blow me away as much as it does in context with all the other books coordinating. Still wonderful seeing Layla Miller's beginning again and jumping from there to the latest issue of X-Factor. She's very nice all grown up.

Then there was all that tax stuff. I feel like I should have spent more time on it, but I always feel that way. I'll need to go back over some chapters to brush up on the fine details, but I think I'll do ok on the final.

Caught up with the last 3 issues of Jack of Fables and loved it. The twist about who Jack is? Awesome. Babe the Blue Ox? Still wondrous. The Page sisters? The baddest ass librarians. Then The Great Fables Crossover kicked in and I already had the first two-thirds of it - very nice. Some of the lines in there work so very very well. Trying to imagine what could happen in the last third and that, like many other things in Fables, is almost literally impossible to predict.

Also, Spider-Man - The Short Halloween - good stuff. Amusing hijinks. Knocked out Spidey gets swapped with drunk guy dressed up as Spidey. Each of them handles the other's nemeses quite satisfactorily. Kind of expensive at $4. Them's knocks, I guess. It's not like I'm on an allowance anymore.

Also, beat all the events and smashed all the billboards in Big Surf Island - new island for Burnout Paradise. Definitely digging the smaller area - much more tightly knit and very good flow. In love with the toy DeLorean I unlocked. So cute leaving flaming tire tracks off the mega jumps.
