Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

YJ:

I thought we got a lot of hints about her father previously. We knew her mother had been in jail but not that she had been a supervillain.

Of course, I may have just been remembering something said here in regards to her father which pushed it into "of course" territory whenever hints were dropped.

And I agree, it would have been nice to have Tim and Bart instead of Dick and Wally, though I do enjoy the latter's interactions.

I did like the line last week from Batman about taking Dick in as Robin to make sure he didn't turn out like him.

I figured out who her father was because I googled her name, and discovered that her character exists in the regular DC universe.

I meant to record that, but all the previews didn't give me much hope. The weird anime-esque cuts in Teen Titans worked because of the animation style as a whole and feel of the show. All the cuts I saw in the Ultimate Spider-man previews felt really, really out of place and jarring.

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

For those who are interested in such things, Mark has begun reading Sandman. I am re-reading along with him after six years, and I'm already getting a deeper appreciation of it from reading the comments (along with online annotations and wikis). I had no idea Lucien wasn't an original character!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

P-C, I decided this morning that I'm going to do a re-read-along, too.

It's easy enough to do an issue a day! Although I may skip ahead on weekends as a buffer.
