BENDIS
GOES MARVEL EXCLUSIVE
Superstar writer Brian Michael Bendis (Powers, Ultimate Spider-Man)
is a Marvel Exclusive writer - at least for the next two years. Marvel EIC,
Joe Quesada, made the announcement during the San Diego Convention, but
specified that the exclusivity contract extends only to properties that
aren't owned by Bendis himself. His creator-owned titles like Powers, Jinx,
Torso, etc., are unaffected by the deal.
CNN AND THE NEW YORK TIMES COVER
GREEN LANTERN #154
DC Comics' "Green Lantern" No. 154
hits newsstands in September — with main character Terry Berg beaten almost
to death on a street. Terry actually emerged as a gay character in 2001 in
issue No. 137, which was cited by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation as the year's best comic book. Terry is a sidekick to Kyle Rayner
— aka Green Lantern — whose emerald ring gives him supernatural powers that
keep New Yorkers safe.

Now for the continuing saga that is my childhood stupidity...
I had just poked my self in the left
eye with a stick, an incredibley stupid thing for anyone to to do. I had
been taken to the Ambulitory Care center as I was in a lot of pain. The
diagnosis: I had given myself a triangular shaped cut on my cornea. Like I
said before, an incredibley stupid thing for ANYONE to do.
The cut would heal in time, and the
damage would be minimal. For my treatment I was given orange flavored
antibiotics to take, which really didn't taste like orange, I think it's
because the anibiotics were pink and my brain wouldn't let me believe they
tasted like orange. Sort of like Kool-Aid, where the actual drink can be
blue yet it's supposed to taste like cherry, but alas, I stray from my tale.
The antibiotics were disgustingly pink and non-orange flavored and I dreaded
every tablespoon I had to take. The other part of my treatment was an
eyepatch I would have to wear for two weeks. This wasn't a cool eyepatch.
When the doctor first mentioned that I would have to wear an eyepatch I
pictured your stereotypical black pirate patch. It wasn't, it was pretty
much a white piece of gauze that was taped over my eye. I wanted a black
pirate patch, that would have been so badass, instead I got a piece of
gauze.
So I began my two week recovery
period. I was told to keep damaged eye shut because it would be extemely
sensitive to light. But as I have already old you I was a stupid kid, and I
would take pleasure in opening my eye to see the bright yellow flashes.
Simple things for simple minds I suppose.
About one week into my gealing my
mother and I were at a local supermarket doing our grocery shopping, and for
some reason there were a ton of kids at the store today. We soon found out
why...there was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in the building.
Tune in next week for my face-to-face
meeting with Michaelangelo. It'll be sweet, I promise.
