So I left late for Free Comic Book Day because of family and grandma stuff. I haven't read the comics yet, but among the titles I actually bought was issue 1 of Marvel's version of Pride and Prejudice. Novelty buy.
I also had the following conversation with the cashier guy at the first store:
"Is [Neil] Gaiman's Batman any good?"
The cashier says yeah, and explains that you can jump right in without reading some issues beforehand, that it's more an elegy for Batman.
"Oh, so it's after the Batman death thing"
"Yeah. Although he's not really dead," just being kept somewhere or something.
"Ha. He can't be dead, He's Batman!"
The guy says something about them never really killing anyone.
"Unless it's Captain America," I said.
"Yeah, but he's coming back too."
"Oh right, yeah. They always come back," I replied. "Even Jason Todd."
The cashier smiled at that. "Haha, that's right."
I was so happy after that convo. It's been so long since I had a proper geeky conversation in non-online life! The last time was probably... around December 19th. I wish I was able to meet more with my geeky/fannish friends. ha, I haven't been able to meet outside of class/clubs with friends the whole semester, just random run-ins on the street. I have some conversations with classmates, but they're normal. Or normalish. Well, except for
poet77 (hi hi hi!), but we sadly don't get to talk much outside of class.
I wonder if anyone will be available for my 21st birthday next month. Usually scheduling is difficult, and last year I ended up just going around Santana Row with my family.
