move out and draw fire

Oh! You're right, ita. Duh.

Have I said before how much I like the non-traditional art in 1602? Coz I do.

That thing we're white-fonting that I'm not sure why we're white-fonting? Is hard to find a real book about. I recommend Born in Blood. Although it's got a lurid title and cover, it's not bad and not Weekly World News-ish.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Okay, Duck Dodgers as a Green Lantern? Way better than I expected.

The WB animation people at one time were going to do a Green Lantern show, but that fell through, so since they had the characters all drawn up already, they decided to do Duck Dodgers as Green Lantern. Great fu.

They also had a lot of the same Green Lantern corps characters (esp. Kilowog and Katma Tuie) show up in a two-part Justice League episode that had Keith David voice Despero.

Read Ultimate X-Men 41 today. I may have a hate on for many of the timelines, and this is a rewrite (I can't work out which comic is the extension of the normal universe), but DAMN. I really liked it. I even liked the one before quite a bit, for all they're redoing origins.

The Ultimate universe is its own continuity that is "inspired by" and reflects the regular Marvel Universe characters, but isn't tied to the original continuity. Of course, now with 50+ Ultimate Spider Man issues, 40+ Ultimate X-Men issues, and other mini-series, the Ultimate universe is building up its own continuity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have never found Angel attractive until #40. Go team them.

I need to track a site down that explains each branch and its relation to normal canon. I fear that the extension of normal Xverse is one of the comics I hate.

But The New Mutants is also pretty good. I've had to buy some of all of them, until I had enough data to work out what I was buying out of habit, and which one I really wanted the next of right away.

I love Kilowog. He shaped my cursing for a while.

Where was this?!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It was on Cartoon Network last night at around 8. Duck Dodger's and Hal Jordan's dry cleaning get mixed up and hilarity ensues.

Thanks DX. TiVo says it's not rerunning anytime soon (grrr), but I'll keep an eye out for it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jon, the fact that the Duck Dodgers theme is a collaboration between Tom Jones and The Flaming Lips should have alerted you to its sensibility.

OK, I guess I need to watch this, huh?

Well, it's not exactly Adult Swim, but it is pretty fun. And the theme is great - very Thunderball/Goldfinger.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

I just came across this article:

CHRIS GOLDEN & AMBER BENSON'S GHOSTS OF ALBION BECOMES DEL REY SERIES.

Has anybody seen or read any of this Ghosts of Albion stuff? Is it any good?
