P-C -- *cough*
Sorry, Aims, your husband was just bought out by Marvel Comics.
WHY WAS I NOT INSTANTLY NOTIFIED OF THIS VIA SKY WRITING, SMOKE SIGNAL AND TELEPATHIC MESSAGE IN ADDITION TO CONVENTIONAL ELECTRONIC MEANS?!
YOU WILL ALL BE PUNISHED!!
On a lighter note: Awesome.
Hey, P-C? So, I got this ginormous Planetary poster today...
You are THE AWESOME. Thank you! I will have to rummage up something cool for you from my prize vault, because, eeeeee!
I'm gonna go squee at it some more, and resist the urge to start rereading the series right this second, but thank you so much, it's incredibly nice of you to give me this bit of nerdvana.
Yay, I'm glad you like it! I discovered the Wildstorm booth just as I was on my way out of Comic-Con on Sunday, and I did a quick run-through to see if they had any cool Ex Machina stuff, and instead I found that, which you obviously needed to have.
Just read Darwyn Cooke's Parker: The Hunter (based on Richard Stark's [Donald Westlake] Parker books). Damn I love Darwyn! His art is just perfection, I swear.
OK. I have to say this somewhere where people won't jump down my throat, because I am laughing my ass off about the bit of throwaway dialog, from "JLA: Cry for Justice," that has seemingly set the Internet on fire:
Green Lantern: I have a confession to make.
Green Arrow: If it involves you, The Huntress, Lady Blackhawk, and a bottle of grappa, [Black Canary] already told me. And all I have to say is, "Well played, sir."
Green Lantern: No. It's about -- wait -- you heard about that?
Green Arrow: Everybody heard about it -- from Man-Bat to Metamorpho. And [Metamorpho] was quite the lothario before he turned all weird looking, so for him to be impressed took some doing.
It's not the quote itself, although I both smirked and am waiting for a punchline (like Peter's "I get anal" on "The Family Guy.") No, it's the miles and miles of commentary this one joke has generated, the vast majority of which reads like the posters are having sex and its aftereffects described to them second hand.
Comic fandom: Sometimes it lives up to its stereotypes.
