Em's pick of the Week

It's not very often that the family gets to make a trip to the comic shop together. I just love it when we do.  I love watching her look at last weeks comics as she works her way to the spinner rack with the kids books.  We let her pick one book a week. Sometimes it's the 25 cent books that get her attention. Often, it has been the books based on her favorite cartoon series: Batman: Brave and the Bold, and Young Justice.  I think Em wants to be on that show as "Girl Flash."  She does quite the Flash impression.

This week though she went another route and was in pink heaven.

Tiny Titans #39

Some Penguins help Alfred with washing the crews costumes and all the costumes turn pink, including Batman and Superman.  Embarrassment ensues for all the males involved.   At least, I think that's what happens.  Reading comics with Em is very interesting. She sits in my lap and we look at the pictures.  She then tells me what's going on in the story based on what she sees on the page.  Most of what I heard the first time we read this one was her Pinkworld song in which she tells me of the existence of this world and how much she loves it.  Oh, and now she has new friends in Pinkworld!

I did get to read some of the story as she was singing her song and one of the things I really like about this series is that they throw the parents a bone every so often to keep them interested.  The best example is the title.  This one was pointed out to me by Jack.  It's a line from the first Superman movie when they discuss the color of Lois' panties on the rooftop. Hee hee.  Thanks Art and Franco.

I wonder what the choice will be next week.  I need to check my schedule to see if I get to go too.
