Last two days have been busy ones for me. I totally reorganized my study. This might now sound like such a big deal, but it is. Book shelves were packed, I was swimming in a sea of papers, and Rogue Games items. I needed to get things under control. So with the help of my lovely wife, I went to work. I am no sitting in a well organized streamlined office. Books I no longer need are in a box ready to be taken to Half Price Books. Games I no longer need, are in another box ready to be taken to Half Price Books. One of the beneifts of the organized office is that I have found books that I forgot I had. My reading pile has now grown. With this done, I now need to tackle the next bane of my existance — my comic book collection. This is not going to be pretty.

I been under the weather for the past few days, combined with life leaching me a tad busy, this blog has been left silent. Sorry about that.
Anyway, while sick my wife brought home a comic book for me. It was one of those touching things a wife can do for a husband, and it really made my day. What was even more surprising was the book she bought me:
Batman and Robin #1. This is the new series Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly are doing. I have the book on order and it will be arriving with my monthly mail order shipment, but it was nice to have this early. It was even cooler that my wife knows my taste, and knows how much I dig Morrison’s work.
So how was the book? This sums it up:
Like he did in All Star Superman, Morrison captures the essence perfectly. Quietly, who is always one of my favorite artists brings his full game to play, and the book is as gorgeous to look at as it is to read.
I loved this book. Period.
