Grammar Rage

[the_other_sandy]

So, yesterday was Free Comic Book Day, and I braved the crowds at Dreamland Comics because I wanted to pick up Grimm #0. The story was decent enough, but, umm, Nick finds it hard to "tow the line" between cop and Grimm? Monroe has a "Pilates regiment"? Was this thing proofread at all? It was noticeably full of bad grammar, misspellings, and dropped words. I suffered secondhand embarrassment on behalf of the writers and letterer the whole time I was reading it.

And I really want to see the military uniforms of the Pilates regiment.

Ouch. I haven't gotten to Grimm yet, and now I'm almost afraid to read it. I love the idea of camo yoga pants for the Pilates regiment though! Do you think they would use desert and jungle colors or Suburban Mom pink and blue?

We made an afternoon of it and hit four comic shops (although the last one was almost completely cleaned out), American Science and Surplus, and Half-Price Books. So much geeky goodness!

Grimm really wasn't all that bad, aside from being in desperate need of a proofreader. The plot was decent and the art was better than many media tie-in comics. At least I could recognize who all the characters were supposed to be, which is more than I could say for some of the Supernatural comics.

And I was forced to make a Grimm icon this weekend.
