Look at the Pretty!

So, I was catching up on comics tonight (it is Thursday, you know), and after reading a few books, I filed some away. One book that was awaiting filing was that G.I. Joe 155 1/2 I mentioned a few weeks ago. Well, it finally made its way to its home tonight. Did I put it with the current IDW Joe line? Or with my new comics in general? Oh, hell no. That bad boy went into the Marvel G.I. Joe box, right behind its predecessor, G.I. Joe #155. Oh, and you know what? The back of issue 155 1/2 announces issue 156! It's due out in July! I cannot wait! Picking up right where the Marvel line left off in 1994! And it's written by Larry Hama, the original writer! *dies*

Incidentally, I emailed this to my comic guy tonight:

Oh, and it's obvious that I want G.I. Joe #156 when it comes out, right? *grin*

A short while later, I got this response.

Larry who? But of course!

I laughed my ass off. Yeah, my comics guy knows me. It's funny, sometimes, how one can measure their life.



( And what a measure it is, too. )
