On the cosmic side of things

So, I think that it's pretty obvious that I'm a comic book reader. While people may think this means that I'm all about the mainstream characters like Batman, Superman, Spider-man and the like. That's wrong... kind of. I still love most of the more publicly known heroes but ever since 2006 I have largely been more interested in the adventures and exploits of the group of characters that have designated as cosmic heroes.

Ok then, time for a few last words about the Harry Potter series before going back to comics and comic book movies.

Harry Potter Retrospective Part 7

With a content smile he closed the last volume and replaced next to its older siblings on his bookshelf, smirking a little at the book's pristine condition compared to the first one's marked form.

He surveyed all seven books together. The experiment had been a success. His understanding and appreciation of the scope of the tale was now greater than before. It was with pride and happiness that he displayed the collection in his room.

And so, with this part of the experience over, until he would choose to do it again, there was but a few things left to do.

A conventional meetings of youngsters

Rising tension
Moment of silence
Speed explosion
Skill, strength and blood
Twist and domination as despair grows.
A cry of compassion
DETERMINATION!
Ignorance of pain
Clashing beliefs
The ultimate is grand and loud
Triumphant joy
...relief...
Epic :)

Harry Potter Retrospective Part 6

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince is kind of tricky to write about. On the one hand I really like the book for pretty much the same reason as most of the other books. But on the other it kind of feels like just a bridge between OOTP and the last book and I have very few topics to pick from it. And that's one of the two official reasons why I'm late with this post, the other being that I've been busy and away.

So I tried to come up with some other topic besides the once that stood out the most to me since they're very fanboy biased topics to me personally, even if they are very prominent in this book. When that didn't work I said screw it and just decided to rant about Severus Snape and shipping.
