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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, I think I need the Nightwing Annual. I thought I was done with Nightwing -- but if they're going to have original Robin and Batgirl on the cover. . . I have to have it.
