She looked quite fetching in that jersey!<br /><br />I think Vertigo books like Y and DMZ count as de facto alternative books - even though they're published by DC, they don't sell in nearly the same numbers that Batman or JLA does - not that I think "alternative" is simply a matter of sales.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-15176507374481204412011-01-11T17:16:25.711-05:002011-01-11T17:16:25.711-05:00Not sure if they qualify as "alternative"...Not sure if they qualify as "alternative" but I became a big fan of DMZ and Y: The Last Man this past year.<br /><br />I personally can relate to what you're experience was as I had a brutal habit in high school of hoping for "something more" from some of my close female friends (though I'd later find out i was just asking the wrong ones).<br /><br />While my dim attempts to 'ask them out' predated Holden's speech by a year or two, I can say for certain that every instance was a less eloquent version of that exact speech.<br /><br />It's been too long since I watched this...gotta give it another spin and try not to weep too hard over the fact that I once owned the hockey jersey Alyssa wears when she calls Holden at the train station...but that it now belongs to one of my exes.Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.com
