Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I've read the first couple issues of The Umbrella Academy. I haven't read anything this gloriously cracktastic in a while.

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

I finally got Buffy #24. Is that Dawn on the cover of the next issue? OMGWTF is that a thricewise?

Now tagless for your comfort.

At first I thought it might be Willow but seeing the alternate cover and the spoilery synopsis, I agree that it's Dawn.

I finished The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite last night. Pretty great stuff. My favorite characters are Number Five and Rumor. And Pogo, of course. I also started Dallas. Which doesn't seem to "feature" people! I laughed out loud at "The Umbrella Academy Featuring the Utter Destruction of Mankind."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So, Free Comic Book Day is tomorrow. What are you getting?

My store is tiny, so IIRC, their FCBD policy is 1 comic per person, although I think they let people with pull lists have 2 comics, which would kick ass.

I'm definitely getting Blackest Night #0. If I can get 2, I'm torn between Avengers, the Love & Rockets sampler, and Mercy Sparx.

Of course, if I bring The Boy, then I can strong-arm him into getting Love & Rockets or Mercy Sparx. (Actually, with hot chicks on the cover, I won't have to do any strong-arming.)

There's also a Wolverine title (with a horrible typo on the Web site), and -- I admit that I really kind of want this -- William Shatner Presents!
