Terry Moore's taking over Runaways. Warren Ellis is taking over Astonishing X-Men. I can't really imagine Moore writing for X-Men.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

The first issue of DC's Final Crisis was out yesterday, and WTF? man -- they killed Martian Manhunter! Well, you know, for whatever definition of "killed" DC uses these days. But still!
Also, the whole "Batman, R.I.P" storyline is (1) excessively contrived, even for DC, and (2) inevitably going to end up being lame as hell; I read somewhere that the "R.I.P." doesn't even stand for Rest In Peace, which is exactly the lame sort of literalistic bait-and-switch DC has been pulling lately.
Blue Beetle still rocks my socks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
- Final Crisis #1: kills Martian Manhunter
- Final Crisis #2: kills Jimmy Olsen
- Final Crisis #3: Revivifies Martian Manhunter, and then kills him off again.
- Final Crisis #4: kills Santa Claus
- Final Crisis #5: kills Deadman (now even more deader!)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I think the giant-size Astounishing that comes out on Thursday is Joss' last issue before Warren Ellis takes over.
Indeed it is. And I'm shocked to see no chatter about the final fate of Kitty Pryde. Because really? What was the point of bringing her back if you're just going to launch her into space inside a giant pallic symbol and walk away?

Victor, I was just saying that to my co-worker earlier. (Well, mostly what I said was, "Of *course* that's what happened; it's goddamned Joss Whedon.")
