skeeball and pop-a-shot
Forgot to mention I am currently on vacation at the beach. Windy but sunny days at the beach, and icy cold water. But a bad day at the beach beats a good day at work anytime! Hit the arcades - favorites are skeeball, pop-a-shot bball, and Police Trainer. Took a nature hike today, then a long beach walk.
Comics are part of the vacation too-- got the Moon Knight 19 at a nostalgia shop on the boardwalk. There are bikini army fights within. I thought it would be an interesting comparison to Finch's current run.
Some other things...

RF, Phillygirl and Shoreturtle are all enjoying DMZ. DMZ artist Ricardo Burchelli has been forced to take a break from the series due to an eye condition; Brian Wood, creator will draw one issue, then his Supermarket collaborator Christian Donaldson will do a whole arc.
At the Wizard Vertigo panel, editor and redhead Will Dennis talked about how Brian takes photos all over NYC, because Ricardo is in Italy-- the streets of NY are summoned from some far off Italian place..

I bought that very issue of MOON KNIGHT as a child, while on holiday at the beach. Woah, spooky!
I went to pick up the latest issue of DMZ yesterday, but it was already sold out. Gah! Also, really loving the Dead @17 series. They are going to put out a complete set in December. I gotta get one of those.
That's some weird co-inky-dink there Mark!
Phillygirl small con this sunday!
At the beach, I have read 52 week 8 and 9; Omac 1; Moon Knight ; The all new atom;Grimm Fairy Tales;Marvel Team Up 21; Invincible 33; Amazing Spidey. Besides for my pull list at the store, I'm almost caught up. Still like 52, Invincible was good; and while a bit on the salacious side, Grimm Fairy Tales was good also. Off to a big seafood dinner now!
Mark has an idea. Should start a poll about what issues you bought on vacation. I think I might do that. Hope you are still enjoying your vacation, Red.
You may have begun with the wrong issue of MOON KNIGHT's first series. As I recall, that was aprt of a four-part story arc. Doug Moench wrote mostly self-contained stories -- especially after Moon Knight became a direct-sales only title and the page count expanded.
My favorite was an EXTRA thick 25th issue. I think the villain patterned himself after MOON KNIGHT, called himself something like Black Spectre. Very pulp-like, film noirish storyt-telling, especially with Bill Sienkiewicz's artwork. A friend said the narration reminded him of the old EC Comics.
