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

ION, I totes need these sunglasses. You know, for the future.

What? You don't want to go insane?

I just realized - it must have been one of Meyer's "vampires" in the box since it was so sparkly.

I think sunglasses allow you to SEE the future.

The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We're always seeing the future, Tep. It just arrives to us as the present.

I don't want to. But sometimes you simply must.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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

If he needs to take some time off, I'm all for it...as along as he comes back with something awesome. He's got a pretty great track record in that pretty much everything he writes is awesome. Bendis, on the other hand, writes a million things, and some of it is awesome, and I haven't read the other stuff because I have heard it is...not.

Still, I'm hoping to meet him at Comic-Con. Powers was my gateway comic!

Vaughan is a writer who realized that just because something was based in a world where a man could talk to electronic equipment, or that all of the men of the world save one could die sporadically, or that your parents really could be super villains, doesn’t mean the events that transpire cannot be grounded in realism and connect with the reader on a true emotional level.

I read several comic blogs and I wouldn't say that stylish prose is high on the priority list for any of them, but good lord.

And for the record

This all begs the question

NO IT FUCKING DOESN'T.
