All Agents Have Shoot-On-Sight Authorization

by Rainier on April 1, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Why do people keep on interfering with our TV watching? Don't they know we have lots of catching up to do?!

Got a cool little gift from DC Comics/Wildstorm. They sent us the first issue of the God of War comic book. I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of today's comic books; the art style is usually not to my liking, nor do I enjoy the fact that there's a full-page ad every few pages. However, it's a cool item to have, so I can't really complain too much.
