I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Marvel has a new Venom title (#1 came out yesterday), drawn by Tony Moore (aka Walking Dead's Tony Moore), who happens to live in this area (not Cincinnati, but fairly close in Indiana). I did not realize this until recently, but Chatty!co-worker is really good friends with Tony Moore and goes over to draw in his studio and stuff about once a week.

So anyway, Tony did a signing last night of Venom #1 at the comic store that Chatty goes to, so I have a signed copy of Venom #1 on my desk. Pretty sweet.

(I do not have time to read it until I get home, because work is INSANE. [Although apparently I have time to post about it.])

Since I have not been keeping up with the Marvel universe, finding out who Venom is (spoiler: Flash Thompson ) blew my mind.

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

It had to happen sooner or later, because every single acquaintance in Peter Parker's life is either a villain or currently being held captive by one.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen and I made a custom Lego Venom last night! I can't find it to take a picture, though.

Oh my gosh, if you find it, could I show Chatty the picture to show to Tony Moore?

Sure! He was playing with it last night so I just need to dig it up.

Nifty! How do you get that detail on the Lego people? I assume a teeeeeeeny brush.

Very teeny. And sometimes, you can use a fine point Sharpie. It should be up on my FB page. I'm having trouble getting a link.

I sent it via FB and gmail, Teppy.

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

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.

Young Justice was good. Artemis' comment to Kid Flash when they were missing their memories also ties into what Scola was talking about after last week.

Also, Super-Cycle maybe?
