I can not explain my diappointment in this.

[perpetual_motion]

[The Husband comes out of the shower as I am literally squeeing over the preview pages of "Emerald Warriors" that were posted to guy_kyle

ME: "Emerald Warrior preview pages are up!"
HIM: "Huh?"
ME: "Emerald Warrior preview pages are up!"
HIM: o.O ... "What's that?"
ME: "...What?"
HIM: "What are you talking about?"
ME: "Emerald Warriors."
HIM: "Which is?"
ME: "Seriously?!"
HIM: "Yeah. I don't know what you're talking about."
ME: "EMERALD WARRIORS. Comic. Talking about it for SIX MONTHS."
HIM: "So, is it, like, superheroes?"
ME: "It's GUY."
HIM: "Guy?"
ME: o.O ... o.O ... "Seriously, are you fucking with me?"
HIM: "What?"
ME: "Are you fucking with me? Are you just saying shit to make me look at you funny?"
HIM: "Honey, I sincerely have no idea what you're talking about."
ME: "GUY GARDNER'S COMIC BOOK."
HIM: "Doesn't he already have a book?"
ME: "You ARE fucking with me!"
HIM: "No! I'm not! He has a comic! I know he has a comic!"
ME: "No, he's IN a comic. Emerald Warriors is going to be HIS book."
HIM: "Huh?"
ME: "Oh, dear fucking Christ."
HIM: "What?"
ME: "Never mind."
HIM: "No. What?! Explain it to me!"
ME: "Guy Gardner is getting his own book. As a Green Lantern. Written by Tomasi."
HIM: "Who's Tomasi?"
ME: "Just...Go put your pants on."

So, yeah. My Husband, the wonderful man that he is, who listens to me talk Lanterns on a WEEKLY basis (at LEAST), has apparently blanked out EVERYTHING I've said about EW since I first (and this is true) pumped my fist in the air and screamed, "HELL YES YOU ARE" when it was announced Guy was going to headline a book.

Slow clap, anyone?

(Also, let it be known that the preview pages made me HAPPY. Oh, hell, YES my lantern is getting his own book.)

*facepalm* You'd think some of it would have sunk in! I had lunch with a friend I see maybe once every two weeks today and he knew what I meant, I'd been talking about it so much.

In The Husband's defense, he talks Magic: The Gathering on a regular basis, and I still just stare at him sometimes because I have no idea what he's saying, and he swears it's stuff he's said before.

That being said: GUY.

I guess once the smile-and-nod reflex kicks in, we don't always realize we aren't absorbing anything. *g*

(10 days to go to Emerald Warriors!)

Oh no! *frowny face* Hopefully he'll remember from now on, for his own good. :P

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK! I LOVE GUY SO, SO MUCH, AND I CAN'T WAIT. :D:D:D

I gave him a do-over a little later.

ME: "So, Guy Gardner is getting his own book!"
HIM: "Oh, I'm sure that's very exciting for you!"

OMG WANT RIGHT NOW. GUY GUY GUY GUY GUY.

And he's NEARLY NAKED in the opening pages. And then there's LANTERN BUTT.

Haha, at least he got it the second time around.

I'M SO EXCITED! JUST TWO MORE DAYS!!

Lantern butt is always the best.
