Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

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

I managed to get myself spoiled for that, despite not reading the title. Huh.

But what I don't get is why use the proper noun Twilight in vampire fiction right now.

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

Just read the latest Buffy and...what? Huh? Ooooookay.

Guess the two series are well and truly severed, unless there's another twist coming. Which is OK since I'll probably be dropping Angel entirely now that Willingham's writing it, but completely frells with the series 6 stuff Joss had a hand in.

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

JMS will be writing Action Comics and Wonder Woman

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I went looking for Y: The Last Man in my library today, and it's shelved in Non-Fiction. They have a whole complicated rationale behind it, but it seems to be basically about keeping it away from the kids.

(Note: I obviously haven't read it, so avoiding big spoilers would be nice.)

What other comics do they have shelved there?

I really need to finish that run. I forget where I stopped reading.

A few issues of Spiderman. Some stuff I didn't recognize. Almost all of the X-Men, Justice League, etc. stuff is shelved in the Teen section.

Graphic novels are in the 741.5 section, yeah. Or they're in the Teen Zone.

Booooo! Well, it's Vertigo, I guess, so.

So I watched the trailer for Batman — Under the Red Hood that was on the Justice League DVD. The most traumatic part about it? Seeing what Judd Winnick looks like. The dude is OLD.

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

Y: The Last Man

I'm just over halfway through this and loving it. My brother and I have discussed how this is a comic that would make a kickass TV series, preferably HBO/Showtime (otherwise it would have to be toned down a lot).
