Last chance at the comics collection before it goes to Half-Price Books. Email profile addy for spreadsheet.

On Topic: Wasn't Angel human for a while in the post-S5 comic? How does that line up with his appearance in Buffy S8?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Random Matilda quote that belongs here as much as anywhere, while viewing our newly-acquired JLU DVDS:

I wish Wonder Woman was real, so I could give her hugs.

Also, watching a climactic scene in the series finale:

Oh, the more you don't punch, the more you fail, Superman!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh, the more you don't punch, the more you fail, Superman!

Matilda may be Batman.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Awesome sidewalk art.

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

How do you even compose that mentally? I am at a loss.

"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'm going to guess prior prep with photos of the sidewalk from the intended vantage point and at least a sketchy outline plotted to get the perspective right. If the artist is doing that on the spot from mental image alone I'd be gobsmacked

I’m tempted to go to this today and scream, “YOU KILLED CYPHER!!” at Louise Simonson.

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

I'm pretty sure Theo would kiss you if you did.

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

Bryan Talbot has a new book out with his wife, Mary, about Lucia Joyce (daughter of James).

I really loved his Alice in Sunderland which I recommend.

The Death and Return of Superman. Amusing nerd rant with a lot of cameos, including Elijah Wood as Cyborg Superman.
