Thursday Morning Theology Hangover

"I don't sleep because sleep is the cousin of death."

Actually I don't sleep because my throat feels like it's filled with shards of glass and I'm worried my chest will rupture with every violent coughing fit that strikes me. But, coughing yourself awake at 4am gives you the prime opportunity to finish the comics you bought last night but weren't able to finish.

So, I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

Thursday Morning Theology Hangover

Yesterday was, of course, Wednesday. This is what I read:

Invincible #109
I still hold that Invincible is Robert Kirkman's love letter to the superhero genre. It hits all the common plot lines, events, and tropes littered throughout 70 plus years of comic book history. While Kirkman's more popular book, The Walking Dead, is grim and dark, Invincible is just plain fun. Last issue ended with the title character trapped in an alternate dimension. I could easily see this story arc lasting several issues to resolve, but Kirkman ramps up the pace. So, at the end of this issue, instead of continuing to wonder what Invincible will do to get back home, I'm left wondering what he will do when he gets back home to the one who stranded him in that alternate dimension. Things are probably going to get a bit messy in the Invincible family.

SSSKKWWARRRR! - God is Dead #5

More snaps of random awesome! We got more Coffin Hill! Rat Queens! God is Dead! Astonishing X-Men! This has very little to do with theology, but sometimes I just need to embrace the wonder and joy of the Wednesday: comics!

Join me, won't you?

Coffin Hill #2

The other day I was lamenting that more people should add me to snapchat. While the app is mostly known for more unseemly antics, I mainly use it to share pictures of food I make and random/strange/crazy/cool/awesome panels/scenes/lines from comic books as I read them. Instead of making more friends, I decided I would just take screenshots of the pictures I take and throw them up here. Yes, that seems a little backwards and crude, but it might also be considered artsy? No, probably not. It's probably just dumb. Oh well.

Oh yeah, don't expect any context. I think lack of context adds to the intrigue of it all.
