Aw, man, I just realized my apocalyptothon fic won't fit in one post. Argh. Anyway, I still don't have a title, so I should probably start working on that. UM.

Today I went downtown to get most of the materials for my Scenic Makeup class (yes! I have a scenic makeup class! How awesome is that? :DD), including face paint and latex and fake blood, lol. And I got a clown nose free of charge with my purchase, lol lol lol. XD

Today was also my flamenco teacher's wedding. The ceremony was rather lovely, and the groom was pretty much glowing, but no bride should cry so much. Then again, everyone was saying 'goodbye' instead of 'congratulations', and goodness knows when we'll get to see her again, so maybe she was entitled to some tears. SIGH.

Anyway, off with the gloom! let's talk comics.

I read Superman: Secret Identity the other day, and loved it to pieces. The writing is impeccable, the art is amazing (well, duh, with Stuart Immonen on charge - even if it's a cry away from his most recent art, all pastels and hard pencils strokes, yum), and the premise is just so much fun: When the Kents had a black-haired baby boy, they thought it'd be hilarious to name him Clark, after the comic superhero. Poor Clark endures Superman-related jokes all his life (and has about fourteen pairs of Superman pijamas in his closet, courtesy of his relatives), until he finds out he does have superpowers.

The comic follows Clark's life, and, let me tell you, it's sort of weird to see a middle-aged superhero, but at the same time it's pretty awesome, because it's so fresh and new and different to what you see in mainstream continuity. In any case, it was really really good, very recomended, and quite true to the times.

Other than that I've been reading Daredevil - all of Brian Michael Bendis' run, actually, and oh fuck, but it is so so good, oh wow. I'm loving it so hard, and Alex Maleev's art is gor-geous.
