8. Hoping by the sidelines that OMD gets retconned out ASAP if not I will be reading Ult. Spidey for my Spidey fix
7. Joe Q. quits or gets fired his EIC post by years end (retconning the marriage Joey was wrong thing to do asshole should have killed Aunt May instead)
6. Fables continues to be a strong Vertigo read
5. To read Invincible & Walking Dead in HCs & get the Kirkman fever
4. That the Superman 70th Birthday means great comics for Big Blue & that Johns can do the job like he did for GL in SCW in '07
3. To see the Iron Man movie in theaters
2. To see the Batman movie in theaters
1. To buy more trades for my book case while hoping Final Crisis in my heart doesnt suck

Listen to the 'MATINEE IDLES' podcast

Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. - Grant Morrison

I'm so jealous!! I've been talking about Europe for years and have narrowed it down to a trip to countries around the Alps for my first trip to the continent with Switzerland as the centerpiece. I almost bought a ticket for just Switzerland for the end of this month but will probably just wait again. I'm thinking August/September if time and fiances permit. I have a friend who lives in Thun and it looks gorgeous.

This is going to be my first time in Europe and I'm so excited. I'm starting off with the Euros in Switzerland and Austria then after the tournament is over I'm going to spend three weeks in Italy. My mom's fiancee is from Italy and he wants to take my mom back to live there when they retire. I really can't wait to have the excuse to visit my mom every few months when they do go back to Italy.
