1. ‘…what books, movies, comics, TV series or anime from the 2000’s surprised you or was most memorable?

Comics

Comic Books are something I did not properly get back into til about 2014 ish. After the split with my sons mother, well, I went through a very dark, painful and lonely period. I splurged on some comic books on a day out in Galway, probably my favourite place to be in Ireland if I am to be honest, and got back into them from there. It was therapeutic and I took comfort in them. The odd day trip to Galway perked me up after a bad week (the solution to a bad day was takeout) and inevtiably more comic books.

But that was not the 2000s.

The 2000s saw me reading Deadpool Comics but not collecting them seriously nor chronologically. Not that that ever mattered to the Merc with a Mouth. I cant really go on about this at length like previous posts as pretty much everyone at this stage has seen the two Deadpool movies and is familiar with the character. There are a few funny moments: accidentally warping into an alternative version of earth where apocalypse is in charge and the world is pretty much gone ‘Wow. Its all gone. Its not… THE Age of Apocalypse but its AN age of Apocalypse.’ I laughed myself silly at that one.

I also read some Manga for a time but then swiftly fell out of it after a few volumes. While I enjoyed it, at the time of reading them I did not travel much or go places much. Their availability and getting the proper issues in certain order, and the length of some series made me quickly lose interest due to cost and logistics. Daemon Diary was good, King of Hell was better but the plot took too long to kind of… form…ulate. You get me. RG Veda I read a bit of but it was too convoluted. There are doubtless others I have forgotten about.

Of course I loved Dreamwaves G1 Transformers and Cybertron: The War Within. I could go on about these in detail and length, and want to find them again and complte my collection soon. However if your not a Transformers fan hearing about it must be tedious. Also, I need something new to start collecting as I have almost got all the ships for the game Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which sadly seems to have tanked.

Laptop almost dead and do not know where charger is, back later! Well, I will still post but that is it for long posts.
