The first reinvention took place after about twenty-one years of Superman/Batman/etc., the second twenty-nine years after that, the third nine years later, the fourth a mere five years later, the fifth another seven years on, and if this time counts it’s been two. So on average, every twelve years.

But this time it’s “Final,” which is why I’m reading the stuff one last time.

Enough of this political crap! Bring on nerd month! Finally, something I can contribute to.

oh, and i got the fifty-cent dc universe: zero as a freebie thrown in with my $3.99 purchase of the long road home (above-mentioned dark tower). i won't spoil your review, but how often does dc comics have to reinvent their 'verse?

i am anxiously awaiting the month of the nerd, having begun it prematurely by picking up issue 2 of the second Dark Tower series (marvel, limited series) this afternoon.

in other news, tomorrow i’m starting a real job again for the first time in several years. i thought may day would be an appropriate date to rejoin the salaried workforce. i’ll try to hum a few bars of the internationale as i board public transportation to make my way into town. (of course, learning the tune might help some, but then again, you’ve heard me karaoke, so it’s likely hopeless.)

And now Paul’s #1 on Amazon — take _that_, May Day celebrants!

That should be some consolation to Libertarian Party radicals — like prez candidate Christine Smith who fears, her site says, that even the LP is now “overrun” with “warmongers and statists.” Somebody’s buyin’ those Paul books — and if they’re partly robots and eccentric millionaires, that just makes this an even better segue to my month of sci-fi talk…

Ron Paul #5 right now on Amazon and DCU Zero reported on by NY Daily News today, by the way, lest anyone think I’m _completely_ at odds with mainstream culture.
