Everyone's reading Sex Criminals, right? It's amazing.
Amazon tells me that the TPB is out on the 29th. I'll check it out then.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Cool! It's out in comic book stores now, though. Except mine because Diamond didn't ship it because apparently that happens all the time.
I wonder whether publishers look at first-week sales for both comic book stores and traditional bookstores separately, since the former get the book first but many people wait a couple weeks for the Amazon release. I assume the NYT Bestseller list goes off the latter release date.

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.

Apparently Deadpool is married to a succubus (the woman in the video with him) in the comics now. Huh.
Also, the Jubilee with sparklers is kind of brilliant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am not linking to Bleeding Cool because they chose to use Halle Berry in their article, but it seems that there is going to be a Storm series in July.
I've heard that the solo women's titles at Marvel are all really good right now, and Elektra is super good. Any opinions?

I can only personally speak to Ms. Marvel, which is awesome. But I've heard good things about Captain Marvel and Elektra.

Captain Marvel is wonderful. It got me back into regularly reading comics after a ~20 year hiatus (well, Hawkeye helped.). The lead character is awesome, with interesting flaws. There's an engaging set of supporting characters. The fandom is, as far as I've seen, low on crazy. I'd reccomend starting at the beginning of Kelly Sue Deconnick's run. [link]

I will give that a look too, Calli. When Comixology starts working right, that is.

Fuck you, Comixology. What galls me the most is just how weaselly the email was. They just couldn't come out and directly say they no longer support in-app purchases.
