Plus, with Fray he was drawing all original characters. There was no need to try and make anyone look like an actual, existing person. Let's hope that he can pick that up quick, it makes my brain hurty to try and decode who is who.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I liked his work on Fray and I think the job of drawing established characters is just much more difficult.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH's aunt died this week. She was someone people in the comics world might know about: [link]
When we lived in NYC, we had Passover seder with them every year. Muriel was an amazing person, who managed to be incredibly competent but still relaxed and great fun to be around. A lovely woman who will be missed by all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I saw the news about Muriel this morning, but I had no idea there was a Buffista-in-law connection. My condolences to the family.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I thought that this issue of Buffy was sort of mixed art-wise. Some pages looked great, while others were really bad.

Is this a good place to mention that the last episodes of Avatar are going to be airing on Nickelodeon soon? In fact, if you have Nicktoons on cable they're running quite a marathon of Avatar which is FREAKIN' AWESOME so it would be a good time to catch up.

Art Crawl!!!
I watched Superman Doomsday last night and they changed Lex to look more Marstersy. It was odd. (Did Anne Heche play Lois Lane? Because she certainly didn't look Anne Hechey. . . just generic, slightly Asian toony.)

Hec, I think Raq has co-opted Boxed Set for Avatar talk, so that's where it's been happening lately.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Did Anne Heche play Lois Lane?
Yes, that was her. I thought she did a surprisingly good job. I especially liked it when she told Jimmy to stop acting like a girl.
OTOH, I was disappointed in Alec Baldwin. He could have at least tried to vary his voice a little between CK and Superman.
