I’ve got a very busy weekend coming up. Friday kicks off the Motor City Comic Con. I’ll be there when it opens to pick up my Press Credential and I’ll stay for a few hours, but I’ll have to get home to get the kids off the bus and get Patrick ready for his baseball game. Saturday at 9:30am is baseball picture day. The cool thing about this is, former Tiger star Willie Horton will be there signing autographs. I hope to get him to sign my bat (I have it signed by many Tiger greats). Then quickly I have to run the kids over to my moms and head on up to Lansing for my fraternity alumni golf outing for a 2:00 shotgun. Then at about 5:15, I’ll have to skip out of that, change my clothes and drive 20 minutes west to meet Patty at a wedding (she’s going up with her sister), we’ll then drive home together. Sunday I should be at the Con most of the day. Shoot me an e-mail if you will be there and want to meet up. Here are some links:

And people think the Masterworks are too pricey! - The guys over at Collected Editions need your help with the Final Crisis reading order and the also have a nice but very sad list of collected editions we probably won’t see.
