Update for May

I finished up Birds of Prey (so now I'm on a monthly schedule again) and all the Runaways tpbs. I am a tad behind schedule because we had sales training seminar last week and those things usually leave me too exhausted to even read (and remember what I read).

I am now reading the new Usagi Yojimbo rpg (much easier to carry on a plane than comic books) from Sanguine Productions while also catching up on my Usagi comics. I noticed something profound about UY yesterday: it has no ads. You get 24 pages, cover-to-cover, of story. Inside the front cover, you have publishing information. Inside the back cover, Sakai puts in story notes and letters. The back cover itself is an advertisement for a comic covention. Nowhere will you find ads for video games, bicycles, movies, energy drinks, or anything else. UY is a $3.00 black-and-white book, but the $3.00 full color books from DC and Marvel have a ton of ads.

I just finished purchasing my event tickets for Gencon. I am running four Savage Worlds games (one each day, starting at 10:00 a.m.) and got into games that started right after mine ended. This will leave my evenings free; besides none of the later games seemed as interesting.

Ya, that was pretty boring as a post. The past two weeks have been kinda boring, otherwise. :)
