I want my slayer/watcher "Avengers" DAMMIT! Don't give us that cover and not follow through on it!

No shit! I want more Faith, soon. With or without Giles. There's still so much of her story to tell. Give her her own comic, damnit.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm looking forward to the next issue of Caliber.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Runaways going to film.

Live action, I assume? That could be AWESOME. They better not change Karolina's sexuality...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I *thought* that this week's New Yorker cartoon caption contest looked familiar: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Comics Journal used to run a feature showing panels that comic book artists would rip off from other artists. About 70% of them were Jack Kirby ripoffs because he was such a master of composition.

eta: I have a theory that certain aesthetic gifts are easy to cultivate and others are more rarely distributed. For example, many people can learn how to draw but relatively few people have a knack for composition. Likewise, I think narrative is the rarer gift in writing and melody is the rarer gift in music. Which is why people copy storylines and melodies from other people so often. This is, admittedly, a half-baked idea but I still suspect there's something to it.
