People I know have been waiting months to see this. As a confessed comic book and manga reader, I love when they come to the big screen. I may have been disappointed with some in the past, but its the chances you take when you purchase a ticket. I enjoyed the last two in the series, and I am sure looking forward to seeing this next production.

The only thing is, thanks to yesterdays tragedy, when I sit in those seats, I won't be able to ignore those who died for that ticket. My hearts go out to their families. Not only that, but the idea one now has to now be vigilant when going to a major event that draws large crowds.

It all makes me feel a bit nervous when I head out to such events.
