I’ve stopped posting here. The few people who follow, I’m sure, have already noticed. No particular reason other than lack of time. Adult life is, well, boring, but eventful, and much needs to be tended to. My love for comics remains, naturally.
But today, I felt I needed to get something out there. Therefore, I will break the “wait until the weekend” rule for comics released on the current Wednesday. I think it’s fair, as it’s Friday, and it’s not a continuity heavy book, Avengers Prime.
The thing I wanted to say was, I cannot remember the last time a comic book made me cry. I’m not even sure I’ve ever cried reading a comic book. I didn’t exactly cry this time either, but I certainly felt like it, and my eyes really became watery, so maybe that’s as close to crying as I’ll ever come. I think, as an adult man, we sometimes lose the ability to truly cry, for whatever reason, subconscious embarrassment maybe. But if I were to cry, I certainly would have reading the two pages I’ve put together above.
So, thank you, Mr. Bendis. And Mr. Davis, Mr. Farmer, Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Eliopoulos. That was really moving. And it’s hard to be moved by things in the world these days. That’s a memory I’ll cherish.
