"Nietzsche said it best, friend. 'That which does not kill you proves to me you'll be useful to me at a later date'." - Jason Pratchett, Something Positive.
So, finally managed to feed the inexplicable craving to read Ultimate Fantastic Four. And . . . I don't like it as much as Impulse. I suspect that's something I'm going to be saying a lot, every time I tentatively give a new comic a try. "It's okay, but I liked Impulse better."
Maybe it's because so far the comic's mainly focussed on Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Which makes sense because they're the serious, central sort of characters, the brilliant scientist types. And, I mean, I like them. Sue's surprisingly kickass - Invisible Ninja-Girl and all - and I like her. I like Reed, too, and his endearing, geeky insecurities and issues and the way geeky things just make him so -happy- and bright-eyed. But . . . they're also smart and serious and in love and, y'know, all that crap.
Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm have the potential to generate more love - they're funnier, not super-smart-scientist types, they've had their endearing moments (Ben playing around in space, Johnny naming their spaceship THE AWESOME). . . but mostly they sort of take a backseat to Reed and Sue. Which is fine, it's an ensemble type comic, that's what you get, I'm okay with that. It just means it won't generate the love as much.
I think the fact that all the storyarcs so far have spanned six issues, exactly, doesn't help either. There's a sort of slowness to everything that happens, which, after Impulse, is . . . uh, difficult to accustome oneself to.
Still, I like it.
I like this too. God, scans_daily produces some of the weirdest shit.
. . . And the repeat episode of Gilmore Girls tonight had Lorelai and Luke watching Casablanca, and the new episode ended on a -very- nice point with Judy Garland's A Star is Born playing in the background. So, even though I wrote an exam, write another in the morning, and fell asleep in Shakespeare, today was a not crappy day.
Hoping tonight will actually end in sleep, Almighty Ingrid, Signing Off
