Hullo guys an gals. Long time since I've been here. No news on the Shauna front, although I hear rumblings of thunder in the distance occassionaly. We will see if she sees the error of her actions or not. God, after talking to my friend Brooke the other night, I realized just how damn lonely I am. I need someone to hold but I will bide my time, and God will provide as He ever does.
On other subjects, another era has ended...my collection of Swamp Thing is complete, save about 5 issues scattered through the last 50 or so issues. I was unsure of Grant Morrison and Mark Millar's first storyline, but I was suprised to see Millar begin to shine with the awesome story River Run, where Swampy acquires power over all the water on Earth. While this and his new Earth (Rock) powers help him become more powerful, each new Parliament he encounters and gains control over also removes bits of his humanity. So therefore he is forgetting his wife and child, old friends and pretty much the entire human race in his quest for power. This alludes to 'absolute power corrupts absolutely', but in the end, as he stands at the Parliament of Worlds, they instruct him that humans are irreplaceable upon the Earth and that he should live peacefully among them rather than snuff them out. He listens to reason and thus, Earth itself is saved. The last arc from issue 166-171 is entitled Trial by Fire, and although that title is cliche, the story is great. Well, off to finish cutting some grass I owe some folks but I might return later to write more, if I feel something of import rise up in me. Later.
Best,
H
