Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have a 10 year old on my shopping list who wants Cap or Thor comics. Any recommendations?

You can't go wrong with the Walt Simonson run on Thor.

I'd recommend The Adventures of Captain America Sentinel of Liberty. (Note that there are 4 parts.)

Captain America: Man Out of Time is pretty awesome.

My oldest nephew, who is 7, is reading above grade-level and is loving graphic novels. Any recommendations for 8-10-year-old kids, a bit off the beaten path so his mother won't have gotten them already?

The Hilda series from Luke Pearson is incredible, if perhaps a bit pricey.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How about the Asterix series? If your nephew is reading above level, he'll probably get the puns.

I can't believe she's only 24. I mean, I knew she was, because I've read her Tumblr, but -- that's so much for being only 24. She's amazing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Goddamn, that is a hell of a year for a 24-year-old.

It would be a hell of a year for a 34-year-old. I had a similar sort of year though so I get the TOO MUCH SUCCESS TOO FAST I'M GONNA FUCK IT UP thing she has going on.
