I leave the morning of July 18th, meaning I'll have to try to see The Dark Knight in Maryland, and I'm missing Comic-Con, too. <BR/><BR/>If you're going to be a fangirl over a series, better Black Jack than most other series. I especially like Black Jack because I basically learned French by reading it. I bought four or five volumes, and, by the time I worked my way through all of them, my French was vastly improved. So I can't wait to read it all in English now.Kouros Falatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872443770635436770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-11126484059623513272008-07-12T15:20:00.000-07:002008-07-12T15:20:00.000-07:00@kouros: Bummer!
