Woe to the fucking wicked.

I totally had 9-year-olds devour Bone.

Definitely Bone.

I've been enjoying Atomic Robo lately.

Atomic Robo ships a day behind every other comic?

Or today. I thought today was yesterday and tomorrow was today.

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.

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

I can't stand the camp of the 1960s Batman series, yet I loved BatB. I don't get it.

BatB is light hearted and more silly than campy. It's pretty affectionate towards 60s era comics, and didn't have the smirky, "I'm slumming" vibe of Batman-TV.

JZ saw an episode and said, "It's just like The Tick!"

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:

Got a good chuckle out of the 90's Superboy costume as well as Demonic Marvin the Martian. I'm also digging the teenage Zatanna.

While it was cool to see Secret and Harm the A-plot didn't work so well for me just because I knew what was up from the comics, so there was no mystery there. Plus, 20 minutes just isn't going to live up to a storyline that was played out of over years in the comics. My girlfriend enjoyed it, though.

The Sword of Beowulf with Grendel's arm as scabbard was kind of nifty.

Was semi disappointed we didn't see a Fite 'n Madd cameo.
