Awww, that's too bad. I had a nice exchange with him when I worked at Fantagraphics. And his work with Neal Adams was fantastic. One of the great inkers and editors and a real mensch.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So I finished both Y the Last Man and Nextwave lasts night. Talk about a major contrast between two series to be reading in parrallel. I loved them both, but for entirely different reasons.
Once upon a time I think I would have hated the ending to Y, but I'm much more down with the bittersweet melancholy these days. Losing Agent 355 that way still hurt though.
Nextwave was just flat-out hilarious, and while I'm sorry there won't be any more, the ending was a perfect place to leave it.

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

Dear God, I love me some "Nextwave."

Dear God, I love me some "Nextwave."
Seriously.
"ZOMG! The French are in Cananda!!!" "Zomg?"
"Things like this never happened when I was in The Avengers". [Monica Rambeau, leader of NextWave, lies all the time.]
"So follow the sexy robot." "Is it an invisible robot?"
And so on, and so forth...

Nextwave is completely hilarious, I agree. I need to get the Ultimate Collection that just came out.

That's the edition I read. I love that even the letters and the FAQ are hilarious.

I got Scott Pilgrim 5 at the library today! This means I have something to read at the gym, which means I may stay longer to keep reading!
Scott Pilgrim, my cardiovascular heath thanks you.
