Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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?

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I see we're getting closer to my prediction of DC giving up having story arcs or consecutive numbering and just making every issue a new #1 that relaunches continuity.
