You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We don't know that he meant it sexually! It could have been referring to an evening at the theatre!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The worst part about that panel is that for SOME REASON, the internet furor around it keeps earworming me with The Beastie Boys "Paul Revere."

Not that I think Green Lantern involved a whiffle ball bat in the grappa shenanigans.

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

We don't know that he meant it sexually! It could have been referring to an evening at the theatre!

If I were James Robinson (or better yet, Gail Simone) should come up with a story that completely re-interprets that statement. I can think of all sorts of ways.

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

I just googled "Hal Jordan Huntress" and the second hit was for rec.sport.wrestling.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So am I the last to know that they've announced an official date for the last issue of Planetary? They have a poster for it and everything (Thanks, P-C!).

Of course, I'll believe it when I have the issue in my hands and have finished reading it, but...

So Chinese Democracy finally comes out (not that I actually cared about that); now they announce the last issue of Planetary. What's next? A new My Bloody Valentine CD? Jerry Lewis' THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED gets a Criterion DVD release?

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

I'm just glad we're seeing fucking Twilight again. How many more issues of Season Eight do we have?

You know, I realized with this issue that I actually do not give one damn about Twilight. Although I'm suddenly thinking that maybe Twilight is Edward Cullen. (No, I really didn't need to spoiler-font, but what the hell.)

Hee. I like plots that go somewhere. And the season began by introducing a new villain and then promptly forgot about him for ages and ages, so I'm glad that a distinct adversary has returned, as opposed to the random conflict that's been driving the series for a while.
