Jack Cole and Plastic Man, Asterix the Gladiator and Chasing Amy

I really enjoyed the humor in this book, it was very much my style in that way. Art wise it seemed like just the average costumed hero, nothing special there. I found some of the stories to be kind of dry, nothing was very interesting, they were very basic to me, the only thing that made it more than average was some on the humor included in it.

I also read Asterix the Gladiator this week, which was a little more interesting to me. The stroy was more refreshing because I never really got to see the other side of the story of Rome, it was always about the Romans in the movies and this was a nice change. I found the characters to be unique and all interesting in their own way. The art style was also more interesting to me that Plastic Man.

This week I also watch the movie Chasing Amy. I really love Kevin Smith films and this was no exception. I had seen it once awhile ago but I had forgotten much of the story so it was nice to go back and watch it again. This is a movie about a comic book creator, Holden, who falls in love with another comic creator, Alyssa. soon after he starts having feeling for her he finds out she is actually a lesbian. This is very hard for him to over come and he ends up telling her anyways that he has deep feeling for her. They start to date but Holden soon realizes he can't deal with some of Alyssa's past sexual exploits and goes crazy. At the end he proposes having a 3 way with his friend Banky then Alyssa leaves him. My favorite part of the movie is actually the very beginning when a fan is calling Banky a tracer, I just love the dialogue there.
