( Four Christmases with the Doctor. )
So since it's Christmas break, I finished my Christmas shopping, and I got paid, I decided to catch up on comics I've missed. Namely, those comics are part of DC's New 52 reboot. Out of the New 2, I've read Supergirl, Justice League Dark, Justice League, Justice League International, and Wonder Woman, and Teen Titans.
My favorites were Supergirl, Justice League Dark, and Wonder Woman. Though I have to say that Supergirl's costume annoys me and there was some consent issues in concerning Deadman in JLD (though I love the Zatanna, John Constantine, and Enchantress parts). Wonder Woman is pretty dark and makes changes to her origin.
I think I like JLI better than JLA, mostly because Booster Gold is in JLI and Hal Jordan is kind of an asshole in JLA. Teen Titans was underwhelming to me; I'll wait to see if it gets better before getting any more issues.
And of course there's still some comics in the reboot I won't touch with a ten-foot pole: Red Hood and the Outlwas and Catwoman. Both threat their female characters terribly and have very blatant fan service (Judd Winnick used the word "sexy" no less thant 40 times when describing the Catwoman book).
Though I want to read Birds of Prey, Batman, and Batwoman.

Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows
Dec. 21st, 2011 01:37 pmSo, I got to see the second Sherlock Holmes movie with my friends a few days ago. It was a great way to celebrate the end of finals and start of Christmas Break. Overall, I liked it a lot. I'll talk about it in a little more detail under the cut.
( Spoilers! )
I've just made this journal today. LJ is being ridiculous and the new comment and userpic system they've made is stupid. So I came here.
So I guess I should give an introduction: I'm wake_the_dragon. I'm a college student (who's currently on Christmas Break! Yay!) and I'm an english major, but I'm also considering a history minor. I'm also a geek who loves everything Doctor Who, Dragon Age, and Percy Jackson related. And, yes, the username is a reference to Game of Thrones.
I've reccently started watching Downtown Abbey and I love it; I finished S1 and now I'm going to have to track down S2.
Well, introduction's over. I'm off to explore the site.
Allons-y!
