I know I said no more Ultimate shirts for awhile, but this one has to be a quickie.

I had intended to work all day and write comic book reviews in between grading robot intensity, but like all good plans, that one went to waste. I spent quality time with the dear wife buying Christmas gifts for the kids but in so doing, I am now behind the eight ball. I even bought a special, new shirt for my Mighty Marvel (and DC and Image and Dynamite) review session. But you will have to wait for it True Believers, until after Christmas. This delay may help as I had wanted to address the burning question, which I do not feel I have well addressed yet on this blog: "why do I love comic books so much?" I have written a great deal about the comics I love and why, artists I love and why, characters I love and why, and yet I do not feel that I have written just about the medium itself. Why comics? Why do I love the medium itself? So that's a preview of what is in my head. Stay Tuned..jpg)
In these pictures, you see me featuring the shirt I bought at the 2001 UPA Central Regional Championships in Versailles, Ohio, in which I traveled south with my friend Greg "The Brewmaster" Kormelink when we played with the guys from Minnesota and few guys from Detroit, which was really the beginning of our Masters' team.
I am still a bit stung from yesterday's Lions game loss, but as you can see in the pictures, I am trying to be upbeat about tonight's Pistons game.
I had a good day reading comics yesterday. I read fifteen issues of Uncanny X-Force, so this was going to be one of my reviews. Again, there's a preview for a future post.
Yesterday's post is already set and due to be published first thing in the morning. I intend to add photos to it either later in the day or the next day as our family (my wife and kids) celebrates our Christmas tomorrow.
Happy Holidays everyone. Thanks for checking out my blog.
