No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"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.

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.

"My robot brain needs beer ..."

Dear God, I love me some "Nextwave."

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

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...

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

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That which does not kill you should RUN

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Did anyone else run across today's announcement of the new Alan Moore project?
