It's been a long time since my last couple of posts; And while I'll spare you from all the fun stories that come from getting your corneas scraped, I will tell you that temporary blindness leaves you with a whole lotta thinking time. But surely I'm not the only one with silly, nerdy stories bouncing around in my brains. What's that? You've got a masterpiece in mind and no outlet for the world to experience it? Well, torture your souls no more, because The Escapist is looking to publish all your little musings.

Oh, I've also taken to updating PK's twitter, an effort to read again at 140 character increments. Follow us if you're into that kind of thing, and if you're not, an occasional glance at that sidebar to the right would be appreciated.

You have no idea how good it is to see you. Jesus H. in a whole wheat bun, scraped corneas? I feel like I should be thanking you for sparing us and at the same time I am just desperate to know. Sort of.

The scraping actually came from the doctors, which ultimately helped me to get better but left me deposed for so long. Some parasite was lucky enough to get some cutting done on the inside of my eyes before then.
Now I've got a month's worth of comics to catch up on. Need to follow up on Kyle Rayner's "death"...

Dude. I'm glad you're better! That sounds extremely intense.

Comic of the Week

Northstar's Boyfriend Coming In January! You guys may recall I was a bit cranky about Northstar and his lack of lovin' about a year and a half ago. In fact, at the time, I issued a challenge to Marvel to get him a kiss by June 2009 or I would declare him not really gay. I have not forgotten about this. However, when the X-men moved to San Francisco this year, we were teased with the existence of what looked to be Northstar's boyfriend (and manager), so I delayed judgment until we could see more. Since then, Northstar hasn't had a lot of major appearances, as there have been about a thousand major crossover events in the Marvel universe in the last six months, and each one tends to disrupt the normal storyline for most books, including the many X-books. So I waited. Our patience seems to have been rewarded! Artist Tim Fish revealed on his blog that his upcoming story in Nation X #2 (which comes out in Jan.) is a story about Northstar, and will feature Kyle, his boyfriend in an 8-page story. I'm not sure if an actual kiss is in it, but it's implied that there is some lovin' going on. Check out some sketches of Northstar, Kyle, and Aurora below, and we'll keep you up to date when we get closer to Jan. NATION X #2 1/6/10 [TimFishWorks]...
