I will most likely not get a Flashback Friday up tonight. We are getting ready to have a Youth Fundraiser for Summer Camp, a Yard Sale. The best thing was that I was able to at long last get back to Campbell University Divinity School. It was a break I needed.
My favorite and the Professor that helped me the most retired this week. All semester they have had Alumni come to his final Worship and Spiritual Formations class. In March they had 59 alumni there, it is a class of about 12. I am glad there were just four of us. It made the very last class a bit special.
He is a unique person that models and is a great example of what a Christian should be. I wish there were a way I could have every church member I ever serve grasp the lessons he taught me. It was just a nice visit that lead to another side trip.
I stopped to see my cousin that lives near Burlington and spend just a bit of time with her. That was needed as well. I needed these moments as the afterschool job and my health conditions have been wearing me down body and soul.
So now I just hope we can have a good Yard Sale and get much money to pay for summer camp. Take care all.

I need to point out that this is the original cover for this comic. The one I have is a special edition that was part of a $1 comic special where Dark Horse put beginning issues out to allow for new reader's to access them better. The price I snagged this one for was 60 cents. It confirmed what i already suspected, I would be enjoying this book if I were collecting it.
Ghost will be on my list as I look through collected editions at HeroesCon. I will be getting Dark Horse that way for now. They do seem to be producing some good books. I just don't have the cash to commit $3.50 an issue to them.
The character has been around for some time now. This rendering is the first time I have felt I understood and could follow her adventures. The explanation on the inside cover page was helpful. I am told how Elisa Cameron was an investigative reporter that uncovered a demonic conspiracy which lead to her banishment to a hellish dimension. She comes back, sort of, as a supernatural being with fragmented memories. She took down her original adversaries and now hunts down the demons that worked for the demonic mayor she beat.
Ryan Sook is well suited as artist on this book. I know his work from the early days of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He has a good balance of realistic people and scary good monsters. I am glad that he has pulled back on the use of shadow here that was a trademark of his early Buffy TVS work. Likewise, Kelly Sue DeConnick & Christopher Sebela have crafted a plausible backdrop for this woman caught between to realities. The supporting cast come off as well rounded and all things make you want to know more. It is a good book.
I will be looking to get the first two volumes of this current Ghost series. It has sparked more interest.

I really have not meant to be gone so long. The second job and my health have eaten away my resolve to make my posts. I have plenty of Ultraverse titles to do Malibu or Mantra Mondays, I just need to do them. Even with the Blogger ability to write and have post at a later time I have fell hopelessly behind. I even have Flashback Friday choices to my right as I type. It is all a matter of just having no energy.
What really is bad is my goal and hope of writing something everyday. Whether a Blog post or a story Idea I have, it just has not happened. I really feel like Linda Danvers in this pic here. Beaten and just gone at times. I have dreams of posting. I just hope I can get back to it.
