BOOKS IVE STARTED:
(02-16-26) - today is FEB 16, 2026. these are the books ive started just a couple days ago,
(i keep switching between them):
im not gunna lie i only read the first page and then i started watchmen
good beginning cus it hooked me in but each chapter lowk gets more messy and im kinda losing the plot, so i stopped mid way through this one, BUT ILL FINISH LATER
im not even a chapter in on this one yet, i dont know about how i feel about it
updates on the books ive started:
(FEBRUARY 16, 2026)// WATCHMEN - heyo its the 16th of feb still and i just wanted to update on watchmen, cus thats what im mainly reading, anyways i got to chapter 4 and holy moly, every page just gets better and better. im obsessed with the writing, and the fact that its so real, with the presidents and the timeline, i love the characters because theyre all so thought about and well written, except for like ANY of the girls but whatever. Im a lil lost on a few parts but im sure i wont be soon; like how theres that random sad scene of the boy reading a comic his boss or something gives him and i really liked how everything that was going on in the comic he was reading was sort of a reflection of what was going on in that moment of the comic im reading, i thought that was cool, and i found it sad the way that sort of scene ends, on how he knows theyre all gunna die so take the comic, take the hat, take this and that (bars), and go home to ur mom and treat her right cus life is short, err he says something like that. but its sweet and sad, but it kinda got me confused on why its there honeslty, maybe it was an outisders view, like a normal people view on how they think about the situation at hand. But other than that i like how when shit just gets real bad, Jon just fucking teleports to mars, like what the fuck bro can you not just do something about it, your like the only one with actual powers faggot, i dont know, there is sooooo much going on in this shit its hard to keep all my thoughts straight foward and in one place but i really enjoy the comic so far, like a lot, and its raining today so i feel so mystic and shit idk. my favorite character so far is Nite Owl, he's the most normal out of everyone ive seen, and loooove his excerpt shit "under the hood", how everyone had to reveal their identities, how being a superhero wasnt as appealing to him anymore, rather mending cars was what he wanted to do, and i really enjoyed how he explained his feeling of meeting dr manhattan for the first time, and if you dont mid i would like to qoute it;
"I met both Dr. Manhattan anb Ozymandias for the first time at a charity event in the June of 1960. Ozymandias seemed to be a nice young fellow, although i personally found Dr. Manhattan to be a little distant. Maybe that was nire my fault than his, though, since i found very difficult to feel easy around the guy, even once i'd got used to the shock of his physisical presence. its a strange feeling...the first time you meet him your brain wants to scream, blow a fuse and shut itself down immediately, refusing to accept that he exsists. this lasts for a couple minutes, at which time he's still there and hasnt gone away, and in the end you accept him because he's standing there and talking to you and after a while it almost seems normal. Almost."
I had to qoute it cus i really enjoy how he sort of justifies how this man with super abilities is just a normal guy like us, hes around, he's talking, he has emotion and awkwardness just like all of us, and its kind of cool, to put that in perspective i guess; you can feel that way with anyone ur unsure of. Like a Celeb, someone you hate, someone you look up to, a crush, Or just to anyone you dont know really, i guess. i dont know how to explain my thoughts, but that part and many other parts make me think a lot, and that, to me, is a sign of a really well and thought out comic book, the way it can change your mind if you really thought about it, the way you can see into other peoples eyes, how the fact everything is so intouch with reality that everything it says makes you question the real reality your living in, if any of this makes sense to you, thank you, i prolly sound like a lunatic, anyways thats my update so far, i also would like to mention, im most DEFINITLEY watching the tv show after i finish the book, but im worried of it being actual trash, or nothing like the books, or just bad acting, cus ive seen it happen with other amazing books, SO if you know the facts and watched the show let me know if its good, cus i also dont want to waste my time you know? tnhanks.
NOTABLE BOOKS IVE FINISHED:
i read these books and they are so very very good, and i must say i fell inlove with cha-cha and hazel from book 2 dallas. i think hazel and cha-cha are just so funny and i really love the way they die, its very interesting and made me laugh a lot honestly. but overall i like the first 2 books better than hotel oblivion, just because to be truthful, i started that book confused and ended it even more lost... but it was a good story from what i understood... i think also the fact i smoked a bowl before it mightve also played part with the confusion i had, so i might need to read it one more time.
to be frank, my favorite out of all of the parts had to be dallas/ book 2, it was genuinely so good, the plot was wild, we got introduced to great characters, i laughed a lot, and the way the president died was lowkey soo genius and caught me completely off guard. so read dallas!
i also heard that there are gunna be more coming out so i wonder whats going on there,
ehh, good story to read not the best, no shade
holy fucking shit. this is the best comic ive ever read in my life other than deadman holy fucking shit
MY FAVORITE COMIC BOOKS:
I really want Deadman omnibus but its honeslty so much money and i dont got the time or palce to save up for that right now, but ill ask for it for christmas or ill ask for money for christmas, either its still februrary but thats fine i cant wait.
i was trying to find episodes of shows hes in and lowkey hes in like 2-3 episodes of that one old justice league show, and i watched something about batman and boston working together but i was pretty drunk while watching it so i need to watch it again, anyways i love boston brand and i wish i could bond with more people about this and that but from what i see i assume the deadman fandom isnt the biggest
and not just that the book is amazing, i found Deadman so very interesting to me, and read more about him. supposedly he was an acrobat, and not just an acrobat, one of the best ones at the time or something. His name was Boston Brand and one day mid preformance, Boston got shot by an assasin with a hook hand and he immediatley died. though once dead, his spirit was sort of brought back, to say? like reincarnated by the deity Rama Kushna, and she gave him the power to not move on and get revenge on his killer. As a spirit he also obtained powers such as flight, intangability (obvious spirit ones), but also he got the power to take over a human body, sort of posses it for an amount of time, but it takes away the humans life expetency or something so rama kushna advices against it, for what ive seen.
ive already read why boston brand gets shot and killed and its honeslty the most tragic and stupid reason to lose your life over, and i just love boston brand so much honestly.

(started here)
On my fucking life i love these 2 comics with my whole soul, SERIOUSLY. My dad works at a book store and they have a comic section and once in a while i go over there and get books, but usually he brings sum home for me to read. but the first time i actually went i found part 1 to love after death. IMMEDIATLEY the cover pulled my in and i had to have it, it was only a couple bucks and when i got home, reading it was the first thing i did. i recall it like a dream. Ive never heard of boston brand before in the dc universe, honestly, and it even shocked me that i havent, cus he is genuinely so so fucking cool to me. this book says little details of why he is deadman, but more stuck to the plot of the story, which is...love after death..? i dont want to spoil much cus i would love if even anyone who is reading this would read it as well, if there even is anyone reading this.. But for a summary, he finds this other ghost, and they sort of fall in love and she was married to the ring leader of the circus or whatever, and everyone in the circus who was a ghost/ghoul?? was trapped there by and evil spirit named Brazia, who is also hand in hand working with the ring leader. theres a lot stuff that happens, and the ending is genuinely tragic, but thats also what made me fall in love with it. cus stories dont always have to end on a good note and it just felt so much more real for it to end the way it did. ALSO i cant NOT mention how AAMMAAAZZINNG Kelley Jones art is for Deadman, each page he looked magnificent, and not just him, everysingle little thing is so beautiful in this comic to me, i really wonder how long that took to draw. also the colors are so pretty. The whole comic is outstanding and i absoutley adore it.
<----
this is not only the best comic book it also is a fucking game changer, its so real and in touch with the world we live in and their world its like there prolly is sum rorschach or dr manhattan out there. this book inspires me so much in all different ways and not only that, watchmen is fucking incredible, the plot twist at the end blew my fucking mind and everything just made sense, i love the way dr. manhattan thinks, and how hes always in the past or in the future, and i love how they made comedian such a trash human yet a father plot twist wha tthe fuck, there was so much happening and brain could not help but love whatever it was, no matter what this is genuinely one of the best books ive ever spent my time on, seriously. i dont know how i feel about the movie adaptation as it didnt really check all the boxes, although i really enjoyed seeing some scenes be brought to life, it just totally changed the ending so it turned me off hella.....
COMICS / SERIES I WANT TO READ:
for very obvious reasons i need this...

i found a couple issues and ive read them and theyre really fucking good but all utta place, though i very much enjoy it i was i had the trade copy.
Although im more of a DC guy to tell the truth
this is my secret: when i was just a lil kid, my father gave me a book on harley quinn vs batman or something liek that, and i fell head over heels for harley. i watched the suicide squad movie when it came out, read every single harley book i could my hands on, and i still have the millions of figures i got of her as a kid. and then one day i guess i moved on and forgot all about her. i still love her, and even more now that my brain is more developed. but wow, i miss harley, i miss the way i loved her 💔
thats my secret for now.
