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

The last one made me do a double-take, though, with Oz's wife and KID.

I did a double take, too, but then it struck me as such an amazingly normal occurrence. You run across a friend you've not seen for a few years, and he's moved, raising a family, got his werewolf problem under control ...

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

Fall Out Toy Works is a new comic created by Pete Wengtz of the band Fall Out Boy.

"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

I'm a little "Whoa" at the latest Buffy. It's a little more shocking that Buffy & Satsu.

Is it odd that I found myself having the "Ick, NO!" reaction to that when I didn't have any such response to a 16 year-old Buffy getting involved with a walking corpse more than two centuries her senior ?

Now tagless for your comfort.

It might be odd, Matt, but it's not surprising.

How much younger is Dawn than the rest of the gang? Not more than five years or so, right? Eight, tops.

More Marvelman news. It's looking possible the Alan Moore run could be reprinted (without his name attached to it, naturally).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Alan Moore. Never change, you!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Warner Brothers taking tighter control over DC (now overseen by DC Entertainment), restructuring happening.

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

I think more people should read Daredevil.

move out and draw fire

Request from one of my minions:

i inadvertently got my 5yo hooked on graphic novels when she started reading Amulet on her own; suggestions for age-appropriate books?

I'm useless at this...hivemind?
