Yesterday I did a thing I hadn't done before.
I bought a comic book.
(Technically I've bought comics before, in the form of one of the Order of the Stick prequels, but that's not quite the same thing.)
In point of fact, I got three: Issue 1 of the new Sigil, and issues twelve and thirteen of the old Meridian. All are by CrossGen Comics, although at some point between 2004 and now CrossGen became part of Marvel.
It is interesting to look at the differences between the old stuff and the new, particularly considering that I only previously encountered the old stuff in bound collections - trade paperbacks and the like.
( Oh, look, it's about comic books. )
Which isn't to say I won't keep an eye out, and perhaps even buy Issue 2 next month. But I'm not entirely happy with the apparent direction they're taking this.
