Deathstroke: The Terminator #2

There’s some wild scenery out in the South West, I now understand why so many artists portray it in depictions of America while ignoring the East. Part of the reason for that is you can see so far. There’s plenty of beauty on the East side of America but you can’t see further than a few hundred feet in front of you. We stopped for chimichangas in Arizona, the birthplace of the deep fried burrito. This was probably the best thing we ate on the trip. It looks like it’s going to be heavy and sloppy, but it tasted surprisingly light and fresh. I think of it as a South West chicken pot pie. This is comics related because Deadpool likes chimichangas or something. This spot seemed to be famous for chimichangas like Pats and Genos are for cheesesteaks. The seats we sat on were 200 degrees from cooking in the desert heat.

Death Note. Black Edition Ⅱ

So we just crossed the country and I have a lot to show. We stopped in New Orleans for a Bourdain-style three hour tour of the city with our wonderful guide. We played slots at a gay bar, got slushies on Bourbon St., beignets by the river, and were able to hit a comic book store. My friend and I are usually trading books through the mail but this time we could do an in-person handoff. Mister Miracle and Beneath the Trees are his picks for me. He can’t say “no one visits me” anymore!

The Amazing Spider-Man #20

Fantastic Four #7 (2026)

Nightwing #134

Fantastic Four #108 - sprung for this because it looked like it was in good shape and then I ripped it twice trying to get it out of the bag

Assorted Crisis Events #8 - I never liked scary stuff growing up but creepy comic stories get me so good and it has really helped broadening my horizons and in a way it feels so true for this format.

Speed Racer: Tales from the Road #2 - a Mega64 guest appearance?

Free Comic Book Day 2016: Suicide Squad #1 Special Edition - from the dollar store

Going through some stuff from the family storage unit and found the quarter that broke our garbage disposal twenty years ago
