My trade paperback comics arrived in the mail today! The last three volumes of Invincible, plus the latest Fables collection and a stand-alone from the same series. Of course I tore through all the Invincibles immediately. Angstrom Levy is such an awesome characters. [Spoiler alert.] It sucks that they killed him off, but at least there’s a chance he could come back (as an ally, even), given the nature of his superpower. The scene from vol. 5 where all his various incarnations are sitting in the mind-condenser (or whatever he called it) has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a comic. The Mauler clones are pretty keen too; I like them better since he/they killed the potential original in issue #29.

Brett and I went to lunch at Wingers in Moscow today. This probably goes without saying, but the wings were amazing. We split an 8-piece basket as an appetizer. So sweet, crisper than you can imagine… And they serve ‘em with celery sticks. I can’t believe I never thought of that — it’s the perfect thing to cleanse your palette and give you a break from the spiciness.

And they bring you a big bowl of popcorn instead of bread. I thought that was a little weird, but it’s a good idea since it doesn’t fill you up the way bread does. I had the “loaded chicken” — two chicken breasts covered with some kind of sweet sauce and smothered with sauteed onions and mushrooms, bacon, and two kinds of cheese with a baked potato on the side. Talk about a food coma!
