Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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

Did Y The Last Man say that 355 was a Culper code?

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.

Remember the Catwoman in 1930's Shanghai 30 second short from awhile back? Here's the whole 3 and a half minute thing: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Just finished reading the last issue of Rasl. Not a very satisfying ending, especially considering how well Jeff Smith nailed the ending of Bone, which was a much more complicated story. Basically I ended up not understanding the motivations of any of the characters, especially the protagonist.

I'm reading that the new 52 is going to de-age Shiva to about Nightwing's age, which makes Cass less of an improbability an more of an impossibility. I am entirely not happy with this.

And iI hadn't realised what lengths they were going to in order to purge the world of the canker that is Steph Brown--recolouring a Smallville comic to make a character Babs instead of Steph? Is there some sort of peculiar mandate to limit the women under the Batwing just the one (walking) woman?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What the hell, DC.

I miss having New Comics Day to look forward to.

I was reading the Elfquest issues I linked to before, and boy, that really jumped the shark pretty quickly. Once you have the glam-rock elf orgy scene, where do you go from there?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I read the original Elfquest when it first came out, and when they rebooted it, I was mystified. I grow more mystified every time I see it. And my BFF LOVES Elfquest. I try to be supportive.
