Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary is at Emerald City too. I wish I could have gone!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I wish Hughes would do more in the way of superhero comic interiors again. His run on Justice League (especially the Despero story) was probably my favorite period in the book's history.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

Well, he is working on a Wonder Woman mini-series, but it's a long way from being done.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

Even while Astonishing is more big panels and sparse, I still got a bit let down by Buffy 8.01 at first. I wanted it to be dialogue heavy with banter between the characters and all that. And sure, it was, but not as much as I had hoped. During the last week, I've come to terms with the fact that Joss comic-voice is a lot more visual than his usual radio-on-TV.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Radio-on-TV is something I think Joss vowed Buffy wouldn't be. But, because it's TV, it often was.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Was this linked in here yesterday?

VATICAN CITY - Today the Roman Curia announced that the beatification of Neil Gaiman had been completed, putting the writer one step closer to the official recognition of his sainthood. These steps were carried out despite the fact that Gaiman himself has repeatedly denied being a saint, pointing out that he was not Catholic, not really religious and, most importantly, not dead.

"Really, I'm not dead," said Gaiman when reached at his home. "Not even the slightest little bit. This whole sainthood thing has become something of a bother, with little old women with rosaries joining the usual contingent of Goth girls holding vigils on the west lawn. If you happen to run into Pope Benedict XVI, please tell him that the whole thing is quite silly and somewhat inconvenient."
