The Authority, Vol.1-3

 The series that reinstated my belief that comics COULD be good again! By the time my friend Gerg handed me The Authority, I was already a bitter, jaded comic book reader who thought that most of the new comics stuff was mere flash written by high schoolers, but WOW this series just blew me the HELL away!

Paper Girls #1

If you've ever gone shopping with my friends at Best Buy, you'll know that they can spend hours just browsing the electronics, checking out the cameras, fussing with the phone accessories, etc. without ever looking up once, I, on the other hand, always know exactly what I want and purchase it right away, and so it was that I ended up in the car waiting in the Best buy parking Lot for them to finish one day, with nothing to occupy myself!
Then I remembered that the comic store Other Realms had moved out of Ward Warehouse and right into the building behind Best Buy! I ran over, knowing I could find something to read there!!!
What I was figuring on was buying some trade paperback or something, but instead, what I saw right on the new release rack was a brand-spanking new Image comics series called PAPER GIRLS, and it was written by Brian K Vaughan, no less! I immediately snatched that one up and for the next half hour or so sat in the car taking in the new adventures of four rambunctious newspaper carrier girls in the mid-eighties who have a brush with what can only be time travelers from another era...or aliens from another dimension!
WHOO, what a timely find- I would have been ahppy to read ANYTHING to kill my boredom, instead I got what has become yet another great series to subscribe to!!!
