I always expected some other work from BW. Not necessarily a comic strip, but something. But if he said all he wanted to say, more power to him, and kudos for knowing when that moment was.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So how much does Dan DiDio suck? [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Just hovering over the link made me throw up in my mouth a little. Do I even want to click it?

The article doesn't go into specifics; I just found it to be angry-making rather than nauseating.

Okay, I read it, and I still stand by my throwing up. I don't trust DiDio to do anything right.
I do like the picture at the bottom, with Batman pimp-slapping Rorschach, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha! I'd initially clicked over and read a little bit of the article and left in disgust, but I had to go back for the picture. Well worth the return.

Any bets on who would be hackish or arrogant enough to take that on?

Willingham? Mark Waid?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ooh, I found Brad Meltzer's first Buffy issue rather enjoyable. It was fun and cute, and the dig at Joss's love of Kitty Pryde was amusing. And while I wasn't really on board with Buffy having fucking superpowers, the scenes were entertaining, and the fact that she's gaining power from dead Slayers is pretty cool and interesting.
Also, while I almost always prefer Jo Chen's painted covers, the variant cover is awesome.

Oooh, nice bit of iconography.
And Buffy's earned that comparison.
