Lots of DVDs this week, as well as standard comics instead of manga. I'm still finding this gathering of information interesting, as I am only proving my theory that there is no "magic bullet" as to what women/girls will like in nerd media, they are all over the map, taste-wise. ^_^

i picked up Sky Doll on your recomendation




Wow just wow!

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Sky Doll is GORGEOUS! The art is so beautiful. ^_^

There's apparently a lot more of it available in Italy, but we only get the first volume over here. This makes me a sad panda.

Are they planning on releasing anymore!?

The story is amazing, A real social commentary on orginaized religion, That's a nice way to say it, the real way is an all out FUCK YOU to Catholicism and Scientology! XD

There are a TON of Doctor figures now! My favorite is Ten in pinstripe suit and 3D glasses. It's the cutest, in my opinion!

Where is the business suit lady in your icon from?

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

It's Doronjo-Sama from Time Bokan: Yattaman yet again. She gets disguised a lot for various villainous schemes they have. ^_^

Munchkin Booty had hit the shelves!!! Whoohoo.
Gotta get that and have an Epic Munckin Pirates vs Munchin Ninjas game.

BTW, ever read a Manga called "DramaCon"?

I'm picking up Empowered vol.4 this week! *happy dance*
SKY DOLL IS OUT?! IN ENGLISH!?
*weep*
I have to find a copy!

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Yep, and it's in hardcover! It's about $24.99 US$ so I have no idea what that'll be in Canadian bucks. XD

I'm guessing "manhwa" is Korean for "manga"?

Forgive me if I asked before, but if I did, I didn't get an answer. >_>

In other news, the freakin' zombie plague in WoW is over! YAY! Now we can go back to running around without worrying that stupid kids who like being undead will come up behind us and puke everywhere!

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Yeah I saw that, though it hasn't affected me at all yet. ^_^; (I told you, I hide out in the wilderness a lot...)

I have a week to go to Karazhan and try to get the Vampiric Batling minipet from the limited-time boss in there. Argh!
