Stephen's So-Called Emo Life! #1

• Degrassi - I forgot how much I loved this show. I feel like it was never supposed to go on in the "Next Generation" incarnation as long as it has, and now it's become a ridiculous contest for the writers, one-upping each other from After School Special to Kids to the Wire.

• 15 Minutes with Waid - big thanks to Douglas for the recommendation. Mark Waid and several Boom Studios editors sit down once a week and do a 15 minute podcast that usually starts out hyping some new Boom title and evolves into an enlightening discussion about comics.

• Batman Brave and the Bold - picked up the first volume last night and watched the entire thing! It's very simply, at least for me, Adam West 60's Batman meets Batman the Animated Series. The cold opens tell almost an entire adventure in 3 minutes and are almost as good as the main stories! Back to the Future's Tom F. "Biff" Wilson as the Sportsmaster!

• Wolverine and the X-Men - picked up the first two volumes last weekend. Really loved it, but that's not really a surprise considering it's supervising producer is Craig Kyle and Chris Yost works on it as well. Some of the concepts are even bleeding into X-Force!

• Avatar trailer - can't count the number of times I've watched it.

• NOT Gigantic - the first Zooey Deschanel movie I've seen that I didn't like. And I'll go so far as to say that it's terrible.
