I think I stuck around through two issues of the cosmic fucking, mostly out of WTF-induced shock. But then the end of an issue was a huge glamour shot of Undead Fonzie and that gave me the strength to drop the series in disgust.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Anyone else been watching Avengers? Wasp cracks me up. Thor and Wasp fighting MODOK and going on and on about his giant head amused me to no end.

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

Spider-Man: I thought everyone already knew Spider-Man’s identity… but I suddenly can’t remember it and Googling just isn’t workin for me. Can anyone remember?

LOVE this one:
Galactus: A bathroom attendant living in Queens, apparently. Pretty predictable really.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Comics I just read and recommended: Blankets, The Annotated Mantooth, Atomic Robo.
If you haven't read Atomic Robo, you should. It's great fun and is full of science jokes.

So I got the ridiculously gigantic Walking Dead compendium because it was on sale, and I'd read the first few issues, and what the hell. It was on my doorstep when I got home.
...And I'm halfway through it now and am stopping for the night because whirr. It is a shame how shitty the TV show is, because the comic basically goes "ohshitohshit, awwwwheartwarmingmoment, oh FUCK." And the page-turning craziness makes it much easier to overlook the flaws.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Today is Jack Cole's birthday. I wrote a piece on him for Hilobrow.
