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.)

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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).

I mean seriously, they showed Judd talking, and I was like, "That's not the guy who was on the Real W--oh. Right..."

In other news, "Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale" will dock in stores this November.

Isn't it great???? I'd love it as an HBO series! Who would you cast?

Zachary Levi would make a great Yorick. A Chuck fan actually gave him the first trade at a signing, and he read it that night and loved it, and since then there have been a few cameos of the comic on the show.

I heard mutterings of Shia LeWhosit being cast in a movie version, but that might just have been Chicken Little talking.
