Holiday gifts?

Surprisingly - I got nothing comic-wise (from anyone else) for Christmas. Perhaps my two biggest geek-items were a Star Wars apron and spatula and a set of New Orleans Saints tumblers (two things I geek out about when I'm not doing comics).

For MYSELF, however...bwah ha haaa...I hit fearlessreadersonline, tfaw, and other sites and bought merch BROADWAY style!

On the sixth day of Christmas, Torchsong bought for himself -

Six Witchblade Tomes
Five Marvel Premere Hardcovers
Four Essentials and Showcases
Three Classic GI Joe Trades
Two Runaway books
And a Snoowwwbiiirdd miiiniiii - buuuuusssstttt! (she was a nick & dent for $20 and I'm not ashamed to admit I like Alpha Flight!)

LOL. Awesome. Did you structure it like that on purpose?

Nothing wrong with Alpha Flight. That was one of my favorite books when it started with Byrne.

I got an iPad from my sister-in-law. I didn't expect it at all. I like it so far. It won't yet replace my reading comics on dead trees. I think the ipad is great for trying out series or maybe reading a missing issue or two. Now if publishers drop the price to $0.99 and release closer to ship date then I'd think about replacing half of my comics with digital.

The best gift is the one I gave myself. This is the first year I haven't had to travel, by plane or long car ride, on Christmas in 14 years.
