Worry
I can’t seem to find any product information for stand alone Wii guitars. Its as though the product doesn’t exist. I was planning on buying a second controller so I can rock out with Shannon. There is a small chance I will be buying the bundle twice. Wicked retarded.

Comic Thoughts (Sept-Oct)
Marvel Comics Presents 1-2: Meh.
Heroes for Hire: World War Hulk crossover is dragging on, but this book is handling it well.
Punisher War Journal: Not bad. Good art.
Incredible Hulk and World War Hulk: Get on with it!
Thor: Phenomenal. Go out and buy it.
Loners: For a mini-series this thing has jumped tracks and switched directions far too many times to still be interesting. The premisie was lame to begin with and now all they are doing is crapping on these characters. Good covers though.
Astonishing X-Men: Get on with it!
Mice Templar: Not what I expected but I like it. Think "Secret of Nimh".
Wolverine: For two years this book was solid and great. Now I stopped buying it. Absolute shit.
MODOK's 11: Its MODOK so its awesome. Seriously though, its just average.
World War Hulk- Frontline: Regretted purchase.
Marvel Zombies 2: Meh.
Spider-Man One More Day: Get on with it! And don't kill Mary Jane. that would be lame.
Mighty Avengers: Looks great! Other than that, meh.
New Avengers: Looks great! Interesting premise. Meh.
Brave and the Bold: The only DC book I can stomach lately.
Nova: Consistently a solid read. Recommended
X-Men Endangered Species: Where is my payoff?
New Warriors: I'm losing patience. None of these characters have showed the charm of the original team. I'm staying on board... for now.
Captain America: Get on with it!
Penance Mini-series: Really good. Great mix of psychological drama and super hero stuff. Can't wait for more. Can I get a ongoing...?

Wii: Metroid Prime - a surprisingly well controlled adventure that proves that the Wii is more than party favors. Music: Still loving Spoon’s album “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga”. Give “You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb” a listen and tell me I am wrong. (link expires in 24 hours) TV: Carpoolers has surprisingly been good. Its an ABC sitcom about 4 men who carpool to work each day and all...
