Paper Girls Vol.6

Trade paperback for the Final Paper Girls arc.

Paper Girls Vol.5

First trade Paperback I've gotten of Paper Girls since I dropped the series as a monthly pick-up, and had quite a bit of catching up to do! Even had to go back and re-read some of the issue before to get reacquainted with the series!

Paper Girls #1

If you've ever gone shopping with my friends at Best Buy, you'll know that they can spend hours just browsing the electronics, checking out the cameras, fussing with the phone accessories, etc. without ever looking up once, I, on the other hand, always know exactly what I want and purchase it right away, and so it was that I ended up in the car waiting in the Best buy parking Lot for them to finish one day, with nothing to occupy myself!
Then I remembered that the comic store Other Realms had moved out of Ward Warehouse and right into the building behind Best Buy! I ran over, knowing I could find something to read there!!!
What I was figuring on was buying some trade paperback or something, but instead, what I saw right on the new release rack was a brand-spanking new Image comics series called PAPER GIRLS, and it was written by Brian K Vaughan, no less! I immediately snatched that one up and for the next half hour or so sat in the car taking in the new adventures of four rambunctious newspaper carrier girls in the mid-eighties who have a brush with what can only be time travelers from another era...or aliens from another dimension!
WHOO, what a timely find- I would have been ahppy to read ANYTHING to kill my boredom, instead I got what has become yet another great series to subscribe to!!!

Neil Young's Greendale

Second time reading this Graphic Novel take on Neil Young's Greendale album, by Joshua Dysart and Cliff Chiang and it's even better the second time around! My copy is signed by Josh Dysart and therein lies an interesting tale...
When I first met my friend Gerg, he offhandedly mentioned that he didn't like Neil Young and I snorted and said "Then you can go to Hell!" He was stunned by such a passionate retort from me, but as a huge Neil Young fan I'd been hearing from people who groused that they hated his voice, "He Can't Sing!", etc. all my life, and had just been reading earlier that day about Def Leppard's Joe Elliot putting Neil down too, so my gumption was up!
We laughed about it, and as we became close friends, we would occasionally remember that time, and jokingly say "Never diss Neil Young in front of Z!!"HAHAHA!
 Anyway, one day back in late 2010 or so ,Gerg was visiting his local comic book shop, and that day they had an in-store signing with writer Joshua Dysart, promoting Greendale! Seeing the title, on the cover, Gerg remembered how much I liked Neil Young and decided to not only get me a copy of the book, but have Dysart autograph it as well!
When Gerg went up to Dysart, he explained about me, who really liked Neil Young and how I got mad at him cause he said he didn't. "So you don't like Neil Young?" Dysart asked Gerg, who admitted he didn't. Dysart laughed, and signed the book to me:"Z, your friend here sucks!" LOLOL!
