FCBD fangirl squee: You people have no idea how happy I am that The Umbrella Academy doesn't suck. In fact, it's pretty good! I thought it was a lot of fun, and am looking forward to seeing what happens in upcoming issues.
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.

It should be noted that when I suggested Jilli pick up two copies of The Umbrella Academy so that she could pull one apart, sprinkle it in sugar and roll around in it, I got the LOOK.
IJS.

Deservedly so, sarkypants who hasn't even read the comic in question yet.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oh, I loved The Umbrella Academy. I'm so glad I picked that up for FCBD.
Thanks to Buffy and SPN: Origins, I'm afraid I'm getting sucked back into the comics habit.

I dropped it to a friend of ours. He was just leaving the shop with his son, as we were getting there. He mentioned there was a Magic: The Gathering tournament going on inside. I asked if he'd played (he is big into comics and has written some RPGs). He said he had, and I asked if he knew of you. When he did, I said you were a friend of mine. I believe he said, "Wow. Pete Venters, really?" and then asked how I knew you. So I said I became friends with your wife, online.
The online part always feels so lame.

Yeah, I'm glad you didn't mention b.org, though, as I retain a very polite online presence for my professional persona, whereas you all know me as someone who swears like a sailor with his comedic tastes in the gutter.

You keep spelling adorable wrong.
I think we just need to keep correcting you.
