just this morning, i said i had stopped reading comics. this was a slight lie, as what i really meant was ‘i have stopped buying comics on a regular basis.’ hm.

this became clear to moments ago, when i read an article that a student got suspended for having his own ‘death note.’ in richmond, va no less.

for those of you who are not familiar: death note is a manga series which “primarily centers around a high school student who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it.” and the wikipedia link, if you wish to learn about it…and the anime. and the film(s). it’s quite popular.

and, right now, i am reading my way through it. and soon, i’ll be reading showcase presents: superman vol 3.

so dammit. i made a liar out of myself. i would like to amend my previous statement to say: ‘i am no longer buying single issues of comics on a weekly basis.’

though this sounds less dramatic, it is still a serious turn of events for a junkie.
