Lost and Dissasembled

In this installment of "How I Waste My Time and Money" we talk about modern classics of the Marvel Comics Universe and mainstream television, Oh the HUMANITY!!!

I saw the finale of Lost. I'm just glad I didn't spend the last six years waiting for that. I started watching the show on Hulu back around the beginning of the year and finished season five just in time for season six to start in February. It wasn't a bad ending per say. It just left to many things unanswered; answers I'd been waiting for from the beginning of the show. The final big reveal only has to do with season six, not the rest of the show, and when you find out what has been going all all season it's a big WTF moment. Frustrating.

On a more positive note I picked up the TPB of Avengers: Disassembled. This story is supposed to be the beginning of all the major Marvel Universe events that took place over the last seven years, culminating with the Siege storyline that just came out. I had heard that this was a great story and I was not disappointed. I'm not really a big Avengers fan. I know most of the characters but as a team I wasn't really aware of their backstory. My lack of history with the franchise didn't matter, it turned out to be the best comic I've read in a long while. This book starts off with a bang and the shit just doesn't stop hitting the fan until the last page. It sets up the events in the reality-altering House of M storyline which is next on my list. I'll let you know how it is.
