Summer Semester Part I

Summer courses aren't too bad, I just have two this month: A drawing class and science. Even though I have never excelled in science, I was pleased to see high grades on my first couple of assignments. Hopefully, the course won't get too difficult. The only problem I've got with the drawing is that we're using other materials besides pencils and pens. I thought the whole point of drawing was to draw, not to use India Ink to paint washes and what not. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty good class otherwise.
Oh, and I finally bought Grant Morrison's Run on X-men on eBay. I've been meaning to obtain these stories for a while now, but they're out of print. It was collected in three separate hard covers, as well as one massive omnibus with everything in it. I think Marvel has been releasing paperback editions based on the three hardcovers recently, but they're about 40 bucks each, almost as much as the out of print hardcovers. Not really worth it, if you ask me.
Anyway, back to what I was saying, I got all 40 original comics, which I would think would be more expensive than the collected versions, since they're the original medium in which the stories were printed, but I noticed that it wasn't the case. I haven't seen the giant Omnibus Hardcover Edition go for less than $150.00, and if it's sealed, it's somewhere in the 300 dollar range. That's crazy.
I guess it means that the run is really good, if it's selling for so much, and I'm looking foreword to reading it.
