My Changeling game went off without a hitch, and after being able to play as Walt and Rowe, I now have gained a greater understanding of the themes inherent to telling a story about the Lost. I got so enthralled by White Wolf again, I kinda went nuts and bought almost all of the Changeling splats, picked up a copy of both Hunter and Slasher(which is singlehandedly one of the best/chilling WoD books I've read from them to date), and am in the process of securing a copy of Geist as soon as it comes out.
I also discovered that the library at my University carries graphic novels, so I picked up a copy of Spawn #1, Batman comics that I had been planning to read for like ever (The Killing Joke, A Death in the Family, Knightfall part1 and 2) and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2.
Time hasn't been to kind on Spawn, though. He's not as cool as I remember him being and there is a lot of talk about the Youngbloods in the comic, which seems unnesessary. Also it reads at an awkward pace, as if the script was penned like a month after the art was designed for it, but I'm still interested in how it turns out.
Killing Joke was epic. Go read it NAO!!!
Knightfall is impressive.
A Death in the Family was...meh. I've never been a fan of Jason Todd, so when he died I really didn't feel good or bad about it. The only thing that got a rise from me was a quote from the back of the book written by the editor himself that said: "It would be a really sleazy stunt to bring him back". A decade later the sleazy stunt happens and he's resurrected. DC made a big stink about how badass he is and how he's going to mess up Batman's life, but after he shakes off the Raz-Rage, Mr. Todd's not really worth all the hype he recieved. Also the Ayatollah showed up in the comic. That was bizarre...
