No T.V. to watch....read a graphic novel.

With the summer upon us and nothing new to watch on TV, I'm here to introduce you to a new and exciting stories for you to read, i want to introduce you to an amazing medium called Graphic Novels.

Each Week I will be introducing you to a different graphic novel that you will hopefully enjoy, even if you have been reading since you were a kid or picking up a graphic novel for the very first time

But first a little introduction to what is a "graphic novel" or "trades" are for those who may not know.

A graphic novel is a combination of a comic book and a novel it usually has complex storyline and are often aimed at mature audiences. It also encompasses comic short story anthologies, and in some cases bound collections of previously published comic-book series.

Graphic novels are typically bound in longer and more durable formats than comic books, using the same materials and methods as printed books.

My Collection of trades and graphic novels is extensive as you can all see for yourself,





So Join me in the next couple of weeks will we read thru graphic novels as fun as Scott Pilgrim to critically acclaimed novels like Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns.

Best New Show.....Ever.

For those who know me, you know very well that my favorite show of all time is Gilmore girls.

(ha,ha,ha go ahead get it out of your system ......OK ) .

The show was good to the very end, the last season was not the best but it was still good and I was happy to see it finish properly.

But now what do I do to fill the void left by the mother/daughter dramedy,

well just so happens that a new show has begun that hopefully can fill the void.


And that show is...... Pushing Daisies.

This show premiered on Oct 3, 2007 and it blew my mind from the very beginning.

The story is simple yet complicated, it revolves around Ned who is a pie maker who has the uncanny ability to bring people from the dead.

Here is what makes this story interesting, there are two rules to his ability, first rule is if you revive someone and they stay alive for longer than a minute someone randomly dies and takes their place, and rule number two is first touch is life, second touch is death.

Just the premise alone is enough to be entertained, but it is the love story and the great cast of characters that will carry the show.

this is a show that really needs fans cause a show like this come one in a great while.

P.S.

I just watched the second episode and was not disappointed, hopefully you can enjoy as much as I did.
