Not really. The cert is good for quite a while, and with MS you can take 1 upgrade test when you decide to upgrade. The 2000 certs are still good and will continue to be until EOL on the product, which is 2010, I believe. CompTIA's stuff never expires, which is cool.

On the comics front, this weekend I read the 'Villains United' mini series from DC. Not a bad read but obviously my enjoyment suffered from the usual 'part of a greater story arc' problem when such a big event (Infinite Crisis) is going on. Still it helps my slow coming up to speed with current events in the DCU.

I thought Villains United and OMAC were the two best "Build up" minis. Raan-Thannagar....meh. Don't really care about that one, and Day of Vengence was good, not great. So far Villians and OMAC (with the Superman "Sacrifice" tie-ins) seem to be having the most influence on IC. Holding off on reading IC #4 for a bit while I catch up on some other stuff, like 7 Soliders and Essential X-Men (Vol1).

I wish more publishers would tap some of that "old" talent. Seems like they're more concerned with signing the "big names" than they are about getting good work. I think Perez and Wolfman would still make darn good comics, as well as others. Did you ever read the "Just Imagine..." books that DC put out by Stan Lee? It was a Lee reimaging of the DC icon characters (Batman, Flash, etc).

From what I browsed on the racks the other day I was pleased to see the return of what I consider a much better caliber of comic art. I think I mentioned elsewhere that I really think the trend of huge panels with single character poses and no background detail except a wash of computer generated color is well past its time. One of the reasons I stopped enjoying comics as much was the rise of the unskilled, stylized artists. I think this really began with the start of Image Comics- it seemed that other than Jim Lee all the artist/creators thought "Screw those publishers and editors making me drawbackgrounds! I'll do 'convention sketches' and pass them off as sequential art!". Even Jim Lee at the time took to putting in superfluous lines to make his art seem detailed. Eventually he got back to his roots though which is good.
George Perez is someone I long consider to be the pinnacle of comic art. His work is comic-booky yet realistic and detailed. He has a knack for bringing out emotion in character's faces and body language. I'm glad he's a part of the current 'Crisis' and that the others involved seem to be following his lead.

OK, Just finished Infinite Crisis #2. I have to say, I'm very, very impressed so far. The art is fantastic...like nothing I've ever seen except for maybe Dark Knight Returns. The paper quality is great (I think that gets overlooked), and the story so far is excellent. I like where they're going with Kal-L and Power Girl. Very cool. Quite glad I read COIE again...

Agreed. I've always considered myself kind of a "minmalist" in many ways, but I want to see detail in my comics (I'm a huge Frank Miller fan, who is utilitarian and detailed at the same time, IMO). The close-ups of the heroes with bodies like tree-trunks is getting old. I'm enjoying Justice, which I think is beautifully done, however IMO they're doing the same thing. Relying on close-ups with little to no background detail. It all seems to stem from a desire to scrunch as many panels on a page as possible. I think Miller and Lee's current All-Star Batman is getting better in terms of art (God knows it's not the story or dialogue), with IC being a huge step forward. I'm also enjoying Perez's covers (picked up all the variants so far).
Do you know if Wolfman is going to be involved with IC at all?

Check out his spoken word CDs too if you get a chance. The one I have is called 'Warning: Contains Language'.

You realize Vertigo is on issue #5 of a NeverWhere mini-series? Can't wait to finish it. I got Anansi, Stardust, and Coraline for Christmas. Looking forward to them... - Post

Endless Nights was a good read but far from the best out there. It feels more like it should have been backup features in the main Sandman book rather than its own mini-series. But if you've enjoyed what you've read so far than by all means give it a go. A couple of the tales are 'meh' but others are gems. Plus it gave Gaiman a chance to work with some artists he liked but that he didn't see doing a full story arc. (Gaiman always hand-picked his artists rather than having them assigned to the book by DC, or so the story goes.)

I've heard some not good things about it, and I don't want to ruin my Sandman experience by reading it.
