Just a real quick post to say that if you didn't see the Zapruder-like film from the Iron Man sneak peak at Comicon a few weeks back, well you're almost out of luck. But, its looks awesome, and there are still some sites who haven't received a cease and desist e-mail yet. No, I'm not going to post a link here. That would be wrong. But, I'm counting on the fact that few people actually read this blog to actually keep me under Agent Smith's notice.
Wow, three weeks fly by when 2 and 4-year-olds demand your attention. Plus, the whole getting ready to sell my house thing. I came to the realization while cleaning up my garage for the first time in 5 years, that I have done very little, beyond painting, to improve my current house.
In the last 5.5 years I've lived in my home, I've really done virtually nothing to improve the value of my abode. At least, not as much as inflation and a GIGANTIC ONCE-IN-A LIFETIME HAILSTORM did. Through the hailstorm's damage I received new roof, guttering and vinyl siding. Of course, the entire neighborhood did, too. So, with respect to my neighbors, my house didn't go up too much in value there.
I once had a huge 50-year-old half-dead maple tree in my front yard which threatened to fall at any time on an unsuspecting nice old lady(or wide-eyed orphan). But, one stormy night when I was writing a chart for the Autumn House studio dates, I heard this big crash in the front yard. The 30 mph gusts had knocked the half-dead tree across the street and into the neighbors yard - INJURING NEITHER CAR NOR HUMAN. It had toppled over at the roots. So, actually, it was really most sincerely dead. Also, because it crossed a residential street(like a big dead maple bridge) the city of Indianapolis removed it the next day at no extra cost to me. Now, I just have a big hole in my front yard to put a nice planter of flowers in.
Point of this entry being: I'm generally a huge procrastinator or slacker, but the Gods seem to have a warm spot for me as far as housework. Or, maybe its just Zeus or Thor. If anybody has an e-mail, twitter or MySpace address for these guys, let me know. I'd like to thank them(short of a goat or virgin sacrifice. Well, maybe the goat.)
Maybe, I should name the band after Thor's hammer. JEFF DEHERDT and MJOLNIR! Whaddya think?
"Hi, my name is Jeff and I'm a comic geek."
Disinterested voices in unison: "Hi, Jeff"
In fact, two of the songs off my CD "Club Bordeaux" are comics based. "Hub City" is the haunt of the Steve Ditko creation The Question. "Falcon's Flight" is based on a Marvel character that is the buddy of recently-deceased Captain America, The Falcon. So, I could say that comic collecting is work-related research.
This weeks "pulls" (the issues my comic store, Comic Carnival, saves for me) were late because of some gigantic snow storm they had in Canada. So, rather than me and the boys journeying to the store twice in the van(which you really don't want to do with a 2 and 4-year-old), I ended up getting them today:
In short order they were:
So, yeah, DC comics are my favorite major line. But, there quite a few Marvel character's I read and the occasional indie comic/graphic novel I pick up.
