speaking of downloading, not to be a luddite, but i suddenly discovered the wealth of online comics last week. i think it was mike talking about wanting to buy 300 so he could read it before he watched it, and lamenting that he was something like reserve number 16 of 16 at the library, which is where i usually get my graphic novels. and then it occurred to me to look for it on the torrents, and lo and behold!
honestly, i didn’t even read it yet, as i actually ended up also downloading the entire dc comics infinite crisis saga, which took me about four days to read, between all the prequels and crossovers (villians united, the rann-thanagar war, the omac project, the return of donna troy, etc. etc.). the best part was how far comic book piracy technology has come. not even something as cumbersome as a pdf, you can actually download the whole book scanned in cbz format, and then read them with nifty readers such as comical or my new favorite, comic rack, which keeps a whole library for you, and keeps track of what you’re reading, what you haven’t read, and keeps your place in the series.
next up: paul pope’s batman year 100, the infinite crisis aftermath 52, and then the entire series run of transmetropolitan and sin city.
so much for productivity.
