So I'm like what...a whole week late on posting this? I have to say my wife is probably the best wife I've ever had (did I say that?) On Tuesday night before Valentine's Day...I recieved another Andy Griffith Show dvd jam packed with great episodes. We popped it in and watched with the family the night before Valentines. While that was nice, it wasn't THE gift.
After having an Amazon wishlist on my blog for almost two years and never getting anything (c'mon, you know that's why those things are on everyone's blog...we're all hoping to get a surprise waiting for us on our front doorstep as we come home from work), I finally recieved a couple of items from the list. While my wife is not a huge Star Wars fan such as myself, she has always patiently put up with it. Not only that, but from time to time she has fed my habit hobby making me a very happy dude. So bear with me here. Fellow geeks read on...everyone else...see you on the next post. Here's what I got from the wife:
Star Wars Clone Wars Vol. 7: When They Were Brothers - I LOVE this comic series. Very cool stuff connecting Episode 2 to Episode 3. I have owned Volumes 1-6 and have never completed the series that ends at Volume 9. I love artwork and I've always enjoyed a good comic book. But really...what's better than a comic book with great Star Wars artwork? The story of the friendship between Anakin and Obi-Wan and their eventual downfall is cool. This series delves deeper into their friendship. Hey...what can I say...I'm a geek!!!
Star Wars Clone Wars Vol. 8: The Last Siege, The Final Truth - The "Expanded Universe" we Star
Wars geeks call it, is filled with cool stories and characters that intertwine with the events in the movies. This has a VERY cool jedi character who struggles with the natural drawing he has to the dark side and when he is drafted to infiltrate the CIS (Confederacy of Independent Systems ie. Count Dooku's group) pretending to be a Jedi betraying the Republic, he finds himself obsessed with uncovering the second Sith revealed in the movie Revenge of the Sith. He also ends up fighting himself and winning over the dark side when his friends reach out to him and remind him of the calling and mission he has on his life....hmmm...there could be a message illustration in there somewhere.
Star Wars Clone Wars Vol. 9: Endgame - The story revolving around the other Jedi during the events of "Revenge of the Sith" is told in this issue. You also get a story immediately following the transformation of Anakin to Vader. Entertaining for any Star Wars geek.
So to my wife. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I LOVE the gifts. Geek-fest done.
