On the Boardwalk

Yesterday, I went on a field trip; yes, we still have those, even in college. I traveled with my fellow baccalaureate scholars to Navy Pier, to tour the backstage of the Shakespearean Theater. I felt very privileged to see a side of the theater that so few people can take in. After the tour, we wandered around the rest of Navy Pier, which was quit boring in comparison. Apart from the the outside attractions, which I didn't visit because of the fact that it was pouring rain, all there really is to do is shop and eat. Well, there's also the Chicago Children's Museum and the IMAX theater, but I didn't really have the time to go to either of those. Another time, maybe.

Biff! Zot! Ka-PUNCH!

Graphic novels are my drug-free stimulation of choice this year. I have utterly devoured dozens of books this month alone, and most have been of a more illustrated variety. As far as publishers go, I prefer Vertigo and Dark Horse, as well as numerous lesser-known labels and of course, manga titles. I recently finished the cine-manga for Miyazaki's Spirited Away, and I'm digging for more manga of the sort. The escape into a more interesting, and certainly more colorful world helps my depression, and it makes me feel better in general.
And, as a very fitting list, my Top 13 Favorite Comic Book Characters, somewhat in order:


1. Catwoman

2. Rorschach

3. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

4. Morpheus/Dream

5. The Crow

6. Huey

7. Chi

8. Alice

9. The Riddler

10. Spider Jerusalem

11. Manga Spock

12. Wolverine

13. Naru Narusegawa



Ka-END POST!
