Anybody seen the Batman: Year One animation?
Or has Frank Miller retroactively pissed on the cornflakes of all of his work?
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm ashamed to ask this, because I feel like I should know it.
What are good comics for a girl who's 8 or 9? The stipulation (from her dad) is that he doesn't care if she reads them and decides that she can shoot fireballs or fly; he just doesn't want any horrible stereotypes of women, especially regarding body image, to be front and center.
Is Bone good for that age? I honestly don't know what titles are good for younger kids. I was going to say Teen Titans Go!, but then I thought that might be *too* young.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I totally had 9-year-olds devour Bone.

Atomic Robo ships a day behind every other comic?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hereville has been on my TBR list since it came out; it definitely sounds like exactly the thing I would have devoured over and over and over as a 9-10-year-old girl myself (and, when I finally get my hands on it, I'm pretty sure 43-year-old me will devour it too).
Gaiman's Stardust or his two Death books, or any of Jill Thompson's Scary Godmother stories, or her Little Endless Storybook?

I'm reading good things about Anya's Ghost, which intrigued me in the Halloween display at my store last month. Description says 12 and up, though.

Last episode of Brave and the Bold! The series was way better than it deserved to be. I seriously don't understand why I liked it so much. I can't stand the camp of the 1960s Batman series, yet I loved BatB. I don't get it.
