New Comic Wednesday: Bittersweet

So, this is the SECOND time I have to write this. This probably won't be the same as the first time I wrote it, I can only hope it will be better and ACTUALLY SAVE! Get it together BLOGGER! I'm so mad right now, but I am going to pull through because I want to write this post! 

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh! 

Okay, I am done... 

Star-Lord #(kids, don't confuse this with a hashtag, please) 8, is technically the beginning of the next Marvel Cross-over event, Black Vortex, but I guess it doesn't count since they can just recap all of this in the first page of the next issue. Since Star-lord has a bigger part in the Black Vortex, I don't know why it is impossible for them to just have a single-title big-event. It's just not their style, I guess. Insert dramatic sigh. 

Anyway, the cute/least-important part of the story is told mainly by the cover. Meaning, it just seems like in no time things can be great and go bad the next. Only if the photo-booth picture took two more pictures, the love life of Peter and Kitty would be told, but it is not. Because.... Bow chika wow wow. Yeah, I am that immature sometimes.

Basically, Kitty suddenly remembers that Star-lord is not only a former earthling, turned guardian of the Galaxy. She remembers that Peter is a Legendary Outlaw. So, she doesn't like that. Then, Peter pops the question of moving in! Cause the outlaw-guardian-of-the-Galaxy isn't going to stay on Earth. To put it into basic-earth terms... Assuming everyone just lived on earth like us... Peter asks Kitty to move in, but Kitty and Peter live in different countries and have spent most of their relationship there. Peter also doesn't really live in a house, he lives in his car and travels the country. If you put it in those terms, I see how it is... Not appealing. But this isn't boring real-life-earth, this is SPACE. Kitty Pryde, you fool! Just kidding, she hates space. Anyway, we know Peter, he's charming and he will probably charm her into anything. I wonder if they talk about his relationship in the X-men... 

Also, I just realized, this book seems to be appealing to a girl-audience. Doesn't seem so manly right now. 

Anywho, Black Vortex, Peter's daddy and Thanos' son and teaming up to get the Black Vortex. I don't know what it is, I know I will find out later, it if you don't know what it is, sorry I can't help you. With Peter taking Thane to do some dirty work, what nasty plot will happen? I don't know. But Peter and Kitty might just be able to stop them! 

The Dynamic Duo is back on the streets, but after Damien's hiatus from Gotham's sight, dying, coming back to life, and gaining superpowers, things need to change... Daddy Batman is here to help though! But, during the time Robin is grounded from not obeying the new rules, he reveals to have a little PTSD and needs to reflect on his life. Like I said, dying and coming back to life can do a lot of people. He also died because he was betrayed by his mom, so there's that too... Depressing in all ways. 

You think someone like Superman would come to show Damien how to use his powers, but that's like giving the uncle the reigns to your son... Unless the Justice League is pissed about this! I would imagine why. The bat-family plays by their own rules! 

This month is featuring Flash Variant covers because Flash is now 75!!!! Geez, right? Everyone is so old. You know who else turns 75? Robin! I like this cover a lot and I like last weeks Grayson Variant that I didn't know my boss saved for me. Awesome... It's like the first on-going series NIGHTWING Cover but with Flash running up the side of the building. Kind of cool. 

Anyway, this blog is also titled Bittersweet because my last day at All Star Comics and Games was Sunday because I am moving to Germany. It made me really reflect on how much I have learned from just working there for two years. It was a great experience because I want to open my own shop one day. I'm starting to get inventory... Slowly, so I can work on getting back issues so I can have both new and older issues. I might be taking a break from blogging for a week or two because I need to get settled and what not (meaning, finding another store for the mean time). 

I've met so many friends and All Star, and I learned so much from them just by talking to them every week. I probably would have never learned more about comics, collecting, and running a business without this experience and I am truly grateful I got this opportunity. I hate to go, but one day I'll have my own store.
