Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

He has actually a very colorful imagination

I... kinda want to munch on his spicy brains.

I think he would find this very amusing.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

"I agree that Buffy's reaction to Faith seemed a bit over the top. Why assume that Faith is being nefarious? Why wouldn't she think that the people who brought her there also brought Faith?"

I think it might have had something to do with Faith knocking her down as she was fighting evil!Slayer being the first she'd seen of her in this situation.

Waves "hi" to Isis.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I finally got around to picking up the Grendel Behold the Devil series. Sweet Zombie Jesus is it ever beautiful.

Thanks for the Umbrella Academy recommendation! I picked up Issue #1 and really enjoyed it. (I put the other two issues on hold.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Welcome, isis!

Thirding or fourthing the Umbrella Academy recommendation. It's smart and funny and twisted and stylish and so far I have no idea where the story is going. Really fun.

Have people read Angel yet?

Gunn! Noooooooooooooooooooo!

And that's all I have to say about that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

My local comics shop told me they were severely shorted on Angels, and that the distributor was (hopefully temporarily) out of stock on them. Anyone know anything about that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The 40 worst Liefeld drawings.

It kinda hurts.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Kinda?

Wow, that's some kind of awful. I don't remember ever seeing any of his work before. Although that might be because I had the good fortune to never have read those particular titles while he was drawing them, it could just as well be that I removed the grey matter where the memories of any earlier viewings were stored with a drill press. That's certainly what I'm contemplating doing now.
