Paul Dini's doing a new Zatanna book I was thinking about checking out, since he knows his lady magicians. But I think Grant Morrison is sucking up enough of my money right now.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I splurged this weekend, and bought the Wednesday Comics omnibus.
The thing that stood out for me is that I never realized how influential Chris Ware has gotten, even in the mainstream. The difference between Joe Kubert's old school art and layout and everyone else's was striking.

Heh. That's an amazingly specific form of Tourette's!

Practically OCD since I almost always say it exactly like that, "Goddamit, look at the pernicious influence of Chris Ware on Clowes' work!"

Well, Chris Ware has been perniciously influenced by Clowes' cynicism (nsm with the humor), so it all balances out.

He was, but somewhere along the line, he started getting mean.

Heh, I can't blame that on Clowes when life itself is capable of making you bitter as you get older.
