So, I was not working yesterday thanks to our Florida office having some kind of incident or another. I took the opportunity to have lunch, go to Trader Joe's (I picked up that Peach Salsa that you told me was good and holy, Gwen. If it sucks, I'm sending you the bill.) and, of course, read comics.
The new Gotham Central collection, Half A Life reads better as a proper novel and while the issues they used as background material are not quite up to the standards set by the series, it's nice to see them bulk up a trade with this sort of thing.
The second Essential Thor trade is quite fun, with the Thunder God being a bit of an arrogant fuck what with the telling his old man to go screw every twenty or so pages so he can try to make the two-backed beast with Jane Foster, but you still root for him to smack down that annoying Absorbing Man because hey, Crusher Creel's a class-A jerkwad that'd make with the murdering, given a chance. It did start me thinking about Avengers A-1 status, which was used as a reason to get a group of soldiers and cops out of Thor's way so he could layeth the smacketh down. This, combined with my recently reading Earth's Mightiest Heroes made me wonder: What doesn't A-1 Status get you?
Things Avengers A-1 Status Does Not Get You.
Ian pointed me to the greatest blog ever and I laugh and I laugh when I just think about it.

- Napkins that don't suck at a New York pizza joint.
- Line-jumping abilities at the grocery store, nor can you take 11 items through the 10-or-less aisle.
- A date on Friday night. Iron Man gets laid because he's motherfucking Iron Man and not lame like you, Justice.
- Waived Ticketmaster fees.
- A free slice of pie at that diner on the corner. Cecil's tired of your repeat visits on the same night, Thor.
- A good therapist for the Scarlet Witch. Tsk.
