SA, I'm almost tempted to go find that comic store and make off with Xander.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So, yeah.
She kisses Xander, his head pops off. I think, "He's a Xander-Bot! He just told Dawn he only has two outfits!"
Then Joe explained that it was a dream.
I am not a comics reader. With the exception of Archie and the Gang and an occasional issue of Impulse (which isn't even his name anymore. Ptui!), I don't read comics. It doesn't compute in my pea-sized brain. But I am loving this and want more now now now.
And that letter? Well, that was the whole reason I asked where you all were talking about the comic. I laughed and laughed and laughed.

I liked Impulse better.
Bats named him!!!! You don't un-name yourself when Bats names you!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Steve Flanagan has done an awesome review of Alice in Sunderland in the style of the comic itself at his blog: [link]
Well worth the time for review.
And Jilli (in particular, but I think everyone) would quite like this webcomic called Withershins: [link] It's absolutely gorgeous.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
DC's one-shot (well, 4 issues -- 4-shot? -- but all 4 are being released today) of World War III is out today. (It ties in to 52, because apparently DC hadn't made *enough* money on a weekly comic....)
Combine that with all my other pulls for today, plus the Nightwing Annual, and I've got a $25 day at the ol' comic store.
At least it's healthier than crystal meth.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
At least it's healthier than crystal meth.
But not as easy to make out of household cleaning products.
...so I've read. In a comic book.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd
I took a look at DC's WWIII when I was picking up the lastest 52 today. I chose to not bother with the 4-shot because it seemed like one long action sequence that may have some important character plot points tucked away, but I couldn't be arsed to go searching for them. Let me know if you find anything worthwhile in them, Tep. The only thing I saw inside that I liked was the advert for Countdown featuring an excellent rendition of the Joker.
