Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ooooh, really? I'll check it out!

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.

Both Young Justice and Korra were fantastic this week. For reasons both Scola and Hec have pointed out and more.

YJ: Bat Family in action was everything I could have hoped for. Wow, that was fun. The other mentor/sidekick teams had some great stuff, too.

Well, we finally found out what happened to Aqualad. I feel sorry for him. I have a feeling that Dick wanted to have a talk before Superboy showed up.

I am surprised, of those who know about it, that Superboy is the only one to have an apparent problem with M'gann lobotomizing people.

It's weird who shows up on that list. Mike Allred?

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

Mike Allred?

Right? Though I'd love for Joss to slip in a Madman reference.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You have no idea. Also, don't skip the Crossing Worlds volume - it's worth it for the Batman story alone. I'd say anytime after volume 2 is good on that one.

Yep, that's what the guy at my comic book store recommended too.

Young Justice did a pretty thorough job of implying that Roy is a junkie, without actually violating any network S&Ps.
