I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Buffy #7: I'm glad to see the Mystery Symbol making a reappearance. I can't tell if the baddies we have met so far is working for Gigi or if she's getting her strings pulled.

OK, comics ninjas, I'm searching for a specific issue of a relatively recent Superman comic. It's part of a series wherein Supes is infected by something and getting sicker, Lois has been acting bitchy until it's revealed she's an imposter of some sort and the real Lois has been missing for ages. Superman goes to the best detective he can think of: Batman.

It's a terrific issue, with Superman getting pissy about why Batman doesn't show any emotion, until Batman quietly tells him about some of the things he's seen and how he doesn't dare get emotional, and Batman is thinking about how often searches for missing people end up badly.

I think I own it in one of the myriad comics boxes, but I'm looking it up for someone online.

I wonder if the BSG: Origins Comics will fill the gap between now and whenever Season 4 airs.

The new biography of Charles Schulz has been getting a lot of attention. Here's a review by Bill Watterson in the WSJ. NYT. The New Yorker.

Here's a response from Schulz' son, who hates the book.

The Complete Peanuts has reached 1965-1966, which means that they're starting to get to the really good stuff.
