Turning into a Teenage Boy
I’ve been spending more money on music than clothes and reading comic books (well, graphic novels). I realize that’s a ridiculously gender-biased thing to say. What I mean is I wish my mom had bought me X-Men instead of Archie. She also tried to replace my Stephen King novels with Nancy Drew. Mom, what were you trying to do to me?!
To her credit, she came home with an electronics kit after I started dissecting all the radios in the house.
Anyway, I sort of guiltily devoured the first in the Last Man series. It’s about what happens when all the men on earth die — except for one — and the women take over. As a dude I know pointed out last night, the ladies kinda screw everything up. Yeah. But I wonder what would happen if the men were left without women.

The series is titled Y:The Last Man, Y standing for the first name of the main character, Yorick Brown. It’s slated to end at issue 60 which should be coming out in the next few weeks. It’s also regarded in many circles as a ‘chick comic’, so I wouldn’t worry too much about becoming a teenage boy… that is until you find yourself on ebay bidding on back issues of Hitman, but it sounds like you’ve got a ways to go.

Girls girls girls, Send your Christmas book lists to Mom. While she may love adventure just as much as you, her pre title-9, flower-girl time defined adventure differently.
