It’s the week of things that make Jere happy
So, just in the last few days, I’ve discussed my love of Mercedes Lackey and reviewed two books in a row featuring comic book superheroes in novel format.
Which would explain why I’m uber-excited to have discovered: The Secret World Chronicle
A weekly novel podcast written by Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey.
One of my favorite authors tackles the superhero genre in a format like a serialized audiobook. It’s awesome and it’s free. New episodes every Monday (I’ve downloaded them all via iTunes and have listened to the first few chapters).
It’s like an explosion of awesome for your ears.
In other comic-related news, I wanted to check out Whatever on Castro. I don’t mind shopping at the comic book stores closer to the office, but one is much more focused on toys and the other is part of a chain. Whatever is a lot more like my favorite comic book stores in Salt Lake, plus very gay. I can shop for tacky rainbow shit at the same time I get my weekly X-Men. Plus, the odds that the hottie geek gawking at the latest issue of Green Lantern is a gay hottie geek are significantly higher.
Unfortunately, on my virgin trip today, they had not yet recieved their weekly delivery. Apparently the truck was behind schedule. Rather than hang around until it showed, I went to Al’s Comics to pick up the 3 issues I wanted this week. Still, I can’t fault them for delivery problems, so next week I’ll probably make it my stop on Thursday (no way I’m going near the Castro on Wednesday).
