alixtiiYesterday I bought:
Consequences of Prgagmatism, Richard Rorty
Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks, Friedrich Nietzsche
The Gay Science, Friedrich Nietzsche
X-Factor, Vol. 2: Life & Death Matters, Peter David
New X-Men: Childhood's End, Vol. 4, Craig Kyle & Chris Yost
Ultimate Spiderman, Vol. 17: The Clone Saga, Brian Michael Bendis
I am such a college student.
I haven't read any but the Ultimate Spiderman yet, but flipping through X-Factor reminds me how awesome Layla Miller is (she's the only character who really speaks to me in that book, despite being a fan of movieverse!Theresa). Ties back into the will-to-power as a specifically adolescent fantasy, I think.
Ultimate Spiderwoman makes my femslasher's heart go crazy. Not to mention the clonecest possibilities (I was so guh-ing over some of the panels). But there is no permutation of MJ/Peter/Kitty/Jessica which is not awesome.
Would Jessica remember dating Kitty? Comic-book time is so fluid, it's hard to know for sure. She's definitely inherited Peter's crush on MJ, though, and . . . it's too easy. OMG, there is a God.
The art makes it difficult to tell the female characters apart though--at first I thought the big reveal was that Kitty was Spiderwoman. Or MJ.
The Rorty book looks fascinating too--both "Philosophy as a Kind of Writing" and "Is There a Problem about Fictional Discourse?" look like they'll prove to be incredible resources in attempting to construct a Wittgensteinian philosophy of literature, especially when I'll get to read them alongside the Kristeva (which hopefully the library will have a free circulatable copy of soon).
