Dude, the ending of Kavalier and Clay was perfect.
OK, I'm off to th comic book shop. They're probably sold out by now. Wish me luck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm currently on my second attempt of Kavalier and Clay. Since I have packed almost all of my other books, I may actually finish!

Another social casualty...
I have my copy!
I haven't read anything but the table of contents, but I think Tim should sue. The title of one of the stories is "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been..." . Looks like Chabon himself only wrote the first story.

Truer words have never been spoken. It was beautiful.
Also, I didn't get a chance to go to the comic store today, so I'm really hoping I can get a copy tomorrow.

I got it! Now I don't have time to read it before Angel.

My idiot shop owner did not order any copies of The Escapist. He won't order anything from Dark Horse except Star Wars, Buffy, and Conan (and occasional Hellboy) unless someone pre-orders it. It's very depressing.

Reprint of an article about Whedon's upcoming X-men run.
Filmmakers Joss Whedon and Bryan Singer are in final negotiations to write X-Men comics for Marvel Comics, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Confirming earlier reports, the trade paper said that Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Whedon will author Astonishing X-Men, with the first of 12 issues slated to hit stores in May, with John Cassaday on art. Whedon previously wrote the Dark Horse title Fray.
"There are three reasons why I'm doing this," Whedon told the trade paper. "One, I get to write the X-Men, a comic I grew up reading. It's probably the biggest influence on my work there is. Two, I want to personalize things and figure who these characters are to me now. And three, [the character] Kitty Pryde. She was not a small influence on Buffy. I get to use her, and that sealed the deal."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Bryan Singer? Given what he did to Joss' script for the first X-Men movie, color me surprised. Left two lines of dialog from what Joss has said, and one of them was Halle's awful "toad" bit.
Nothing against Bryan Singer - I've liked pretty much all of his movies, but Joss had about as many kind things to say about X-Men as he did about Alien Resurrection.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Ah, but relationships in these businesses are often fluid.

Bryan Singer is going to write 12 issues of Ultimate X-men
Joss Whedon is going to write 12 issues of Astonishing X-men.
The titles are set in two seperate areas of the Marvel line (Ultimate X-men in the Ultimate universe, while Astonishing is in Mainstream Marvel universe) so the two writers' titles will have nothing to do with each others.
