"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Byrne really doesn't do funny unless it involves Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Torque, did you see it in Imax? My comic book guy was driving down to Madison to see it in Imax.

Oddly enough, I saw "Watchmen" in Madison.

And more recent: I have just picked up my comic book box after more than a month spent either on the road, buried in work or paying for new brakes.

Wish me luck ...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Thanks to P-C, Scola, and lisah, I've read the first 3 volumes of Scott Pilgrim and am awaiting the library to get me 4 and 5.

I love saying the band's name out loud ("SEX BOB-OMB! SEX BOB-OMB!!!")

Heeee, awesome. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

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

When I was in Toronto last month, I went to The Beguiling, which just happens to be next door to Honest Ed's.

It's every bit as horrible as they depict it in Scott Pilgrim. (Except that it's still intact).

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

Just bought and read Wolves at the Gate and it was almost entirely awesome, imho. My only problem was the Rennee storyline - clearly they're going for an eventual Buffy/Xander thing in Season 8, and I'm good with that, but I'm less thrilled by what happened to Buffy and Xander's respective love interests.

God, though, the Buffy/Willow stuff cracked me up. And the Xander/Dracula stuff had me hooting in Starbucks. Also, the Twilight-reveal...oh no, just scratching his neck made me laugh out loud.

I quite want fic. Is there fic? Does anyone know about any good Season 8 fic out there?

No one else reads 100 Bullets and would like to discuss the final issue, would they?

I read the first TPB recently. I may eventually read the rest of the series.

Sad news: David Lapham's Young Liars has been canceled. Issue 18 will be the last.
