Yeah, we have a Liefeld drawing on our wall. Don't even talk to me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
To me it looks like he's trying to channel the very worst of Barry Smith's work on X-Men and Avengers, like this old X-Men panel. His faces are a lot like Smith's, too, especially the way the eyes never seem to be in sync.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I was reading another discussion of this, where it was pointed out that the worst Liefeld drawing didn't actually make the list.
Christ, did Kingpin go to a Halloween party as Capt. Amercia? Dreadful.

I don't know if anyone else is watching, but the CW's Saturday shows The Batman and The Legion of Superheroes have both been terrific this year.
Robin: "We've got nothing."
Batman: "Not so. We've got explosives."

I'm liking LSH, but damn, did they give Shrinking Violet an annoying voice.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
What time is it on? We're just hitting the point where Saturday cartoons are an option for morning entertainment.

They're on at 11:00 and 11:30 in NY, but typically, the Saturday morning schedules for CW affiliates vary widely.

Yeah, but I like this version of the character better than almost any of her other incarnations.

Jon, I read that they're going into a third printing of the first issue of Angel.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
"Angel: After the Fall" -- On the whole, I enjoyed it, but was a little disoriented what with the Wesley ghost!?! And was that Gunn as a vampire on the last page? And hey! I guess Nina didn't get out of town after all! And ... ElectroGwen? Really? Kewl. And OK, Spike next issue. Where's Illyria? And L.A.'s in Hell? Huh. And, and, and ...
I'm, dizzy. You spend so much time trying to rectify what happens in the comic with where the characters were the last we saw them, that it's hard to get your bearings into it. In a lot of ways, it was like the first episode of "Heroes" this season: The whole "Four Months Later" thing wasn't bad, per se, but it became kind of an unnecessary distraction. Whereas the time gap in "Buffy" did OK. It didn't feel like anything was missing, even though our favorite story elements weren't in play. It was clear they just weren't needed at that very moment. We knew they'd be along soon enough.
So, I don't know. I think "Angel" can grow on me. I'm definitely convinced it's going somewhere. I just have no idea where.
