I don't know what it is, but whenever I see Nick blogging, I always feel the need to blog. Nick, do you feel the same way? haha

Anyways, my real post:

I haven't read any comics in a few days (I finished my weeklies on Saturday) and it's because 1) I'm lazy, 2) My girlfriend is around and 3) I've been way too tired to read (those are in no real order). But I want to let you guys know what I'm looking forward to read that I will (hopefully) be getting too in the near future and will, in turn, blog about. Most of this stuff is just what I've gotten a hold of and just want to read for fun and has no dealings with continuity or major plots or anything. Just fun stuff in vague/very interested sumary:

1. Squadron Supreme/Supreme Power v2
Seeing that I'm a die-hard Marvel Ultimate-universe fan, I need to read this series to get Ultimate Power and the new Squadron Supreme series that just came out. Now, the Squadron Supreme/Supreme Power series that I'm talking is NOT the series that ran into the Avengers way back when, but instead is the series totally off on its own that Marvel decided to have intertwine with their Ultimate universe (which I haven't read yet, so shh!). But I'm really excited for this series. I'm 7 issues in and I have almost everything-except Dr. Spectrum-to read in trade paperback form. It's obviously at the top of my list.

2. Battle Pope
I love Robert Kirkman. Seriously. His runs in Ultimate X-Men were effing incredible, but I was drawn to him by his Walking Dead series which just kicks so much ass. Holy shit is it good. On top of that, he is writing Invincible. Holy mother of Thor is that series good. And with that, I have Battle Pope. An apocalypse driven series based around sex, violence and just plain kick-ass-ery. I started this series about a month ago on a whim and gave up as I started to catch up on my weekly comics. What I read was utterly incredible. It had me laughing out loud on the bus as I rode back from work one day and I can't wait to start the series up again.

3. Blade
Ever since I saw the Blade movie however long ago, I've wanted to read the Blade comics, especially the most recent series. Since I began reading comics, I've known of Blade but I've never really investigated him enough to truly appreciate him as a character. I know he was working with the Nightstalkers and Dr. Strange back in the day, but I've never really read enough story to really get to know who Blade really is. Yea, that's cheezy, but that's how I ride. Nevertheless, I'm excited to read the 13-issue series Marvel just recently put out and I assume it's going to be great.

4. Y - The Last Man
I don't know where or how I heard about this series back when I started collecting it, but I happen to have the whole series (#1-50) and guess what? I'm excited to read this series. The concept of this entire series that only 1 man and his monkey survived this disease that killed the rest of the male population in the world... Now there's a concept I can't get enough of, a man and his monkey. It's a series basis that just makes me laugh and from what I've heard about it it just sounds too surreal to imagine without actually reading. Even still, it's supposed to be an amazing series. You have to love the innovation at Vertigo.

5. Watchmen
I know I'm late in the game here-try 20 years late-saying "Oh man! Watchmen!" but even with that, I know any hardcore comic book fan would say to read this series and that's exactly what I plan on doing. Alan Moore is a god-this is obvious-and I plan on doing my worship by reading Watchmen and crying in happiness at how awesome this series is going to be. And that's that.

6. PS238
Again, another series I have no memory of coming across, but my guess is that I stumbled across the tri-weekly page publishing on Aaron Williams' web site via some other site and had to get the rest of the series. The focus of the series is on one little boy who has powers. I don't know more than that, since I haven't even read anything else on it or any of the series. So, it should be cool, as vague of a description as that is. I have the first 25 or so comics, and I'll just go from there.

So, remember to click the links provided if you want more information on each of these series' and hopefully you'll start reading too.
