Dinner Review Cibo

Cibo's wood fire margarita pizza  and onion rings.
So good.

I've been wanting this pizza ever since I show the board advertising it on Division in Portland. But it was a happy hour special and it's one that doesn't start till five. Seeing as Division is usually a mess of construction work, and horrendous ammounts of foot traffic,  staying there for any extended point in time is next to impossible. But as luck would have it, my sister and I managed to be in the area when happy hour rolled around.

The service was decent.  The greeter was friendly and smiled a lot. The server served the food and was on his way. A big fan of that.

The pizza came quickly.  Ten to fifteen minutes. The onion rings shortly after.

My one complaint was that the onion rings- food I consider appetizers- came after the pizza, not before.
And the local beer from Hood River we bought was hoppy as all get out. It varied between sweet and bitter. I'm glad we only bought one.

On the other hand twelve dollars for a pizza made for a hungry two people, onion rings and a single beer. Toss in a friendly tip and your still sitting pretty for dinner under twenty.

Comic Book Review: Future's End Issue Zero

There is nothing better than free comics. OK, maybe a free beer or food. But the point remains free is good.

Futures End issue 00 is written by Brian Aazzarello, Jeff Lemire, Dan Jurgens, and Keith Giffen. So many people for twenty some-odd pages with even less words. Don’t even get me started on the artists.

Back to the story. Futures End takes place thirty-five years- Batman Beyond time- into the future and the Flash got old. Personally thought he was too fast for that. Most of the super heroes and the civilian populace have been transformed by Brother Eye, a system created by Batman and Mr. Terrific, into zombie-cyborg type beings.

In efforts to rectify this, old man- yes, I had to add this- Batman builds a time machine so he can go back to before these event occurs. I must say old man bats costume is cool. Although, the bat symbol reminds me of a nightlight I had when I was little.

From there, the army of Brother Eye invades the bat-cave, at least I think it’s the bat-cave and generally messes things up for what is supposed to happen.

The artwork isn't awe inspiring. The tone however was. For a vast majority of the panels, the background is red and there are certain scenes that have you going ‘how can these be in a teen comic?

Like the scene of Batman Beyond kneeling near Batman. Graphic… I loved it.

The next page has Batman Beyond heading into the past, just not exactly to the time wanted.

Issue zero was great and I am picking up the next one… as soon as the entire event is concluded which will be sometime next year. 

P.S. That's just wrong
