The Boys is pretty fantastic. You'll probably like it if you enjoyed Preacher.

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

Whoah. Didn't see that coming.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I assume they're no longer in high school?

Apparently in this storyline, they all just finished college.

Poor Jughead! He looks so heartbroken.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

This is kind of fun: Eco-comics, a blog about the economics of comic books.

A company of hundreds spends millions of dollars to create a new series of weapons only to have the company CEO steal it all and fly around new york wearing a Halloween costume. In this economic downturn, it seems truly tragic for a company to nearly go bankrupt because their fourth-quarter profits were spent "trying to kill Spider-Man."

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

A UK publisher is going to do a series of Angel/Buffy magazines each focusing on a specific character that come with a painted lead figurine of that character. For more info check out here. It looks like they will be only available in comic shops.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Where would I go for the demolition of the New Buffy Movie rumours?

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

It's been discussed in Buffy & Angel as well as Movies. I think at this point it's still in the "could be" stage.

edit: It's also been discussed in Jossverse even though Joss wouldn't be involved.

I had a very meh pair of pickups at the comic shop this week.

Anyone else pickup the Season 8 "Tales of the Vampires" issue? I didn't care for it.

Also pretty disappointed in Ultimate Spider-man 133. Part of the appeal of the Ultimate universe for me was not having to pick up 5 different titles every week just to know what the heck was going on. But then they decided to pull this "Ultimatum" nonsense and I've been trying to just keep up via Ult. Spidey, but I find myself not caring very much. And now it looks like they may have killed off Ultimate Peter Parker, which is just WTF!?! Apparently they're planning on relaunching the book or something. I don't know if I'm going to even bother keeping up with it. My pull list may be down to just Buffy.

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

Yeah, it wasn't that great.

I finally own all the Powers trades, so I'm re-reading and catching up. I forgot how funny this book is.
