Comics and digital flexion

I'm quite a fan of our tendency, here in America, to mash words together that you would never use in the same sentence in order to create a new and novel idea. For instance the words cock and block. So when I went into the local comic shop the other day and saw the words "battle" and "Pope" together I was immediately intrigued.
Imagine the pope as a womanizing cigar smoking guy from new jersey, who was trained in martial arts by Bruce Lee. Now imagine he and his sidekick Jesus fighting the minions of Hell to save humanity. It has potential.
I read the first four issues in TPB, that's trade paperback or graphic novel for the uninformed. I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best comic I've ever seen but it was good. It was filled with course humor and gore, always a plus, and it had a nice art and coloring style--something I think is essential in a good comic.
I loaned my copy of Battle Pope to Teh Squid and from there I imagine it will circulate through the flock. Also in her possession is the 1-6 TPB of "The Boys" a comic that has been said by critics to "out Preacher, Preacher." They weren't kidding folks, not even a little bit. It is my new favorite title.


In other news, my physical therapy is going well and I am now allowed to do active flexion--look it up--exercises. There have been confusing reports but from what I gather I will be allowed out of my cast sometime between 4 1/2 weeks and 6 weeks post surgery. Since the operation was on the 15th of may I am very near the four week mark. Some day very soon my urge to play videogames will be satisfied!
