To the world: a bit bumbling, very unassuming, meek--and yet not without dignity. I'm really looking forward to this new era.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Kurt Busiek is giving great Trinity. Wonder Woman's emphasis on always striving to be better was a welcome moment and something about her character people forgot too often. She's not the perfect warrior and that would bore her very much if true.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, my shop was sold out of the Legion book this week but they did have the 1,050 trade so I can get my Legion fix somewhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277135680587776090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-33772364463708086832008-06-13T00:29:00.000-05:002008-06-13T00:29:00.000-05:00I... am not.BUT.
