After spending some time with the PSP Digital Comics reader app, and downloading a handful of few and a couple of paid for books, I decided to take an expensive plunge back into my wistful days of my misspent youth. [Not really wistful or misspent, but it sounded good on “paper.”]
I have always been a fan of Green Lantern (especially the Green Lantern Corps – love the concept), Captain America, Spiderman, and Batman. After searching on Amazon for some graphic novels, and after downloading a Green Lantern: Secret Origin title, I decided that DC’s Blackest Night collection would be a good, if not expensive, jumping on point.

That pre-order of 7 graphic novels should give me plenty of reading pleasure for my comic jones. If not, then hopefully, hopefully down the road these books will fetch something in return on eBay.
