Supernatural Origins woe and triumph

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A FEW SPOILERS - AS WELL AS A FEW RATHER SCARY REAL LIFE DETAILS THAT COULD BE RENDERED INSANE AND PROVIDE DISTURBING IMAGES -, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE COMIC YET AND DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED (OR UNSETTLED, FOR THAT MATTER), I BEG OF YOU TO SKIP THIS BLOG.

Well, after an extremely painful week of waiting to get my RESERVED copy of "Supernatural: Origins", I have finally read it and WOW!!! Okay, to get this outta the way first, I thought I would be lucky and get a copy the first day it came out last week. :) Boy, was I wrong!  :oDude at our only local comic book store told me the books were GONE! SOLD OUT! CAPUT! ALREADY?? :cry:  As I felt my eyes begin to moisten heavily and my voice began to crack with varied uncontrollable squeaks emitted here and there throughout, I went on to express to the befuddled (and what looks like a slight look of horrified on his face) store owner first my great sadness and terror to the poor chap, but went on to explain my (what passes at the moment here, anyway) joy at this because it just means the show is even more popular around where I live than I ever thought, since I live pretty much in a small town where just about everyone knows everyone's business and brother. Regardless, seeing the tears, heartache and disappointment in my eyes at such a catastrophe - and probably the looks on my childrens' faces as they stared at their 7-month-pregnant mother strangely for making such a spectacle in this store (wait, was that a snicker??) - the owner told me he ordered more and even reserved me a copy and told me they would be ready by today :) - and lo and behold, I FINALLY got my copy today, as well as my name down to recieve the entire series and have each issue held for me as it came out. [cue the "Hallelujah Chorus" here] :D Anyway, the comic is really cool. Very nice artwork and an even better story as this first issue opens up some interesting answers (yes, answers) as to how John Winchester got started on his paranormal crusade - as well as how Dean and Sam got pulled in as children. The comic introduces a couple of very minor secondary characters and - to my own personal great surprise and delight - the "introduction" of Missouri! Yay! It also contains within the first part of the story an intriguing new question regarding the YED (of course, we don't really know it by that name yet here, but you know...). And it even gives us a nice little poignant "scene" of the children Winchester as Dean tells Sam he'll teach him how to swim. Very touching moments here, by the way. Anyway, if you're a fan as so many of us are, and even if you're not into comics all that much (like me, really), pick this up. I guarantee you'll like it because hey...it IS "Supernatural". ;)
