I just read the first issue of Planetary.
This is gonna be good.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I totally have to iTunes this show. Maybe on vacation. One of Tim's nieces is a college senior (next year, but I think her junior year is over) who is double majoring in physics and philosophy (just because) and has gotten way into comics. We could geek out on YJ episodes on vacation.
(She apparently had to ask for extensions on several of her final papers because she got sucked into Doctor Who and, you know, time got away from her. [pun slightly intended] Hand to god. She is totally a Buffista spirit baby. She's awesome with a side of kick-ass.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who exactly is the target market for the Vibe shorts? Those give me quite painful flashbacks.

It was perhaps a too-perfectly executed parody. “Curse your dopeness, Vibe!”

Yeah, that was way too much an actual prior idea of entertainment for me to be able to laugh at it. It was just pain.
Has anyone read any Thrillbent comics. I'm curious about what computers have to bring to reading comics. John Rogers is espousing this as a so simple it's revolutionary sort of thing. It's a bit more tailored to computers than any of the digital comics I've bought from DC so far--the one that I read (Luther) made prety simple, limited use of displaying parts of the page sequentially.
Decent comic, too.

I know he's a huge name in comics, so bearing that in mind, are these standard prices for "real" originals?
