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

Have we already linked to the Periodic Table of Superhero Powers?

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

Aww, fuck! My favorite comic book store just closed. Damn it.

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

A conversation I just had with a co-worker:

"So you're the comics expert. What's up with Robin?"
"Which one?"
"What do you mean, which one?"
"Which one? There have been, like, five."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

"Which one? There have been, like, five."

Six if you count Carrie Kelly.

Oh, after I started counting, yes, I realized there were six. Five was just an arbitrary number I pulled out.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Anybody know what this new Buffy the cover mentions is?

Wasn't there something about the Kuzuis re-booting the Buffy movie without Whedon or any mention of the series?

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

(I think it's the animation mentioned twice upthread)

No, I get that. I also recall the Kuzui thing is all.

I just finished re-reading #5 today, and I'm picking up #6 tomorrow on my way to the airport. Maybe I can get it signed that very night!

I think #5 may be my least favorite, having re-read them all. It may be objectively better and more mature than some of the others, but, God, it's depressing.
