What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ooh!

I still need to catch up on that series. The trades are expensive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

AWESOME.

Pretty huge spoiler in there for anyone who hasn't read the books yet, btw.

I wonder what this is referring to:

Bendis sounds optimistic about the prospects for a series, though. He tells Splash Page that he's waiting for notes from FX, but "as long as they don't involve sock puppets and some sort of orgy scene that I'm not interested in, then hopefully it will go in the right direction."

To me it sounds like Farscape, but that didn't begin as a graphic novel so maybe not.

Yeah, I was all what the hell about that. Luckily, that's the last storyline I read.

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

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I was going to comment on the cards you linked to, Tom, but your tagline distracted me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Pay no attention to the scandalous rumors that people spread about me.

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

Apparently Peter David got LJ's scans_daily shut down for copyright violation of ToS. And their policy of posting no more than 5 pages from a given comic was supposed to mitigate that, being more of a tease than a satisfaction.

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

Heh, I went to Wikipedia 'cause I don't know who Peter David is and it told me...

Peter Allen David (often abbreviated PAD) (born September 23, 1956[1]) is an American writer, best known for killing the scans_daily community on LiveJournal.
