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

Angsty superhero sculpture. It's basically three guys, sculpted three ways. He doesn't have a wide view of vulnerability. Although he's good, technically. I really like Batman.

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

I guess I'm going to pick up The Tick, and maybe DC Kids. Not too much else looks interesting to me, though.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I want Kill Shakespeare.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Tom, those are the only ones I'm interested in, too. Which is sad, because last year I had a hard time choosing, even counting the ones that The Boy could get.

I'm assuming Iron Man/Thor isn't what it sounds like.

I didn't see Kill Shakespeare on the list, but if it's available, I'll get it.

Pssssst. Shakespeare is already dead. Don't let the funny books fool you.

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

I'm going for The Tick, Atomic Robo, and maybe Iron Man/Thor since I haven't read any Matt Fraction. But I'm with Steph; there aren't too many others I'm even interested in. The Sixth Gun looks interesting, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Gasp. You didn't read Rex Mantooth?

I have no idea what that is! But apparently I should read Casanova at some point.

Gasp! I really thought you'd read it at some point. Gorilla superspy? Exploding tuxedo? Zombie Stephen Hawking? If not I'll keep an eye out; I think my shop still had a copy last time I looked, and I still owe you from, like, last year? Because I am lame.

Yes, you should read Casanova. He's his own evil twin! They're redoing the first two volumes it in full color through Icon before they start the third, so it'll start coming out again in July. And everyone should buy it because I've been waiting such a long time for volume 3...
