The life of a touring musician makes it hard to hit the comic shop every week, but Eddie Argos found an easy way to keep up with the adventures of Booster Gold and co.: his iPod.

Pow! To the People logo by Carlos Gabriel Ruiz.

Alright, I admit this is only the fifteenth column I’ve written. I fell behind, I can’t help it. I’m a bit flakey and I get busy and forget. I’ve been especially busy recently recording the new Art Brut record and relocating to Berlin. I’ve been so busy, in fact, that I’ve even fallen behind with reading comics. For the first time in about 20 years I have no idea what is going on with Booster Gold. I’m about 5 months behind. It feels like there is an empty hole in my life.

In the past (with a few exceptions) I would read a comic in about two minutes, barely looking at the art. When you download comics, the iPod guides you from frame to frame through the story. I’ve found that I really appreciate the art a lot more now and don’t just rush through the book to see how it ends.

My only complaint really with downloading comics into the iPod is that the selection so far is not very big. It has also made me a bit lazy, so if someone out there would like to send some comics directly to my bed that would be great. Ta. | Eddie Argos
